• DIY Reclaimed Wood Coatrack

  I needed a spot to hang towels and robes in my children’s bathroom. I had a perfectly good blank wall, but I knew I wanted to do something prettier than just install hooks on the wall. I already had some adorable shabby chic hooks from a recent Hobby Lobby sale. And I found a piece […]

• Board and Batten farmhouse shutters: a ridiculously easy DIY
