DIY Antique Moulding Coat Rack

November 6, 2017November 5, 2017 - The Country Wife 2 Comments

This week at Country Wife Chronicles I’m throwing a little country rustic DIY your way.

Temperatures are shifting and the jackets have started to make their way out of the closets. So, a DIY wall-mounted coat rack it is. This one is particularly rustic, because it is actually made from some moulding we pulled out of my grandparents’ old farmhouse.

I can’t take full credit for this DIY, of course, because Wildland Man had an awful lot to do with getting this one done. But I’m pretty confident I could have pulled it off all my by myself if I wanted to. It’s that easy.

So…crafting. Hmmm, how do I explain my convoluted relationship with crafting?

I love it.

I hate it.

I wish I were better at it.

I have great ideas for it…just, zero follow-through.

Until today. Cuz today, I kicked crafting’s butt.

DIY Pallet Planters {Part 1}

Let me tell you a few of my favorite things about pallets…

They make for a good ole DIY project. And I love me a good DIY project.
They are FREE! (Of course, you might have to search a bit to find them for free or in decent condition to use for your project.)
They have a certain rustic appeal about them, which aligns beautifully with my country-style home décor.
There is no shortage of Pinspiration for pallet projects.
You can make so many things out of just a few pallets. You’ll find that with this particular project, we were able to make three different planter boxes and a small table for our deck out of just about 2½ pallets.
