I have been looking for a sturdy coat rack for a quite sometime. In the past Greg and I have always used a thin metal hook rack; that was in constant danger of falling due to all the weight we put on it. I was bumming around on Etsy one day and came across this driftwood/railroad spike coat rack. It was exactly what I had been searching for! I was so thrilled!!!
I bought it from Shannon at http://www.etsy.com/shop/porterknob
It was such an easy transaction and a pleasure doing business with her- thanks Shannon!
I love the fact that it is made out of drift wood, as well as has a little bit of a recycled industrial feel to it.
I miss the beach so much being out here in Kansas, (I almost crave being near the water); so it is nice to have a salvaged piece of driftwood around ;)
Its so nice to hang up things and not worry about whether or not it is going to fall.
Remember we are renting, and if this were our home I would NOT have carpeted stairs (and would probably paint all the trim work white).
I still need to add a few more picture frames (I used to have the mirror over the shelf, but it's more functional where it is now).
The family shoes (ones that we use everyday) are under the bench in the baskets. It makes things more convenient and Evelyn likes having access to her shoes!
Have a great weekend everyone...
~Cheers,
