faucet coat hooks.

One of the things that is important to me is that my home reflects my personality. I like filling it with personal touches of things that I created, that are meaningful to me, and sometimes something that's a bit unexpected. I knew I wanted a row of hooks behind the front door, for purses or dog leashes or even coats, but I didn't want to just buy a traditional coat rack. When I saw this inspiration picture, I knew I wanted to create something similar:

So, I made this:

I used value replacement handles (kind of like this) for the hooks and painted two of them with turquoise spray paint. In order to make the hooks stick out from a scrap piece of MDF, I used small metal spacers (kind of like this) and extra-long screws, and once everything was assembled, attached the whole thing to the wall using wall anchors.

This was another of those quick projects, and I love that its just a little bit different.
