Here is her DIY headboard coat rack post:
Okay, so we’ve all seen the headboard turned coatrack, bench, etc. all over blogland. I loved the idea, so I was on the prowl for an interesting headboard. While visiting my favorite thrift store, I found an UH-mazing headboard. Not only was it awesome and $8.00, but it was 50% off that day! So allow me to introduce you to my $4.00 headboard, soon to be coatrack.
I chopped off the posts, and scraped off the gum stuck to the back. Ewwwww!
Sorry, but the gross factor wouldn’t be the same if I didn’t show you a picture of the sticky offender. Anyway, I spray painted the headboard black to match my entryway bench and added some garment hooks from Lowe’s. I could have stopped there, but it was just a little too plain.
Here’s where the fun began! I sponged a little metallic bronze acrylic paint into the grooves, then wiped it away to give it some dimension and depth. Then I added nailhead trim, following the curves of the grooves. Here it is in the beginning, when my hands were already hurting and I was beginning to question my judgement. Was this a little too “out there”?
I kept going, and ended up loving the result. Looooooove.

I have one. I LOVE it! It’s a really fun way to display a special photo. I’m using it for my nephew in my office and it’s so easy to swap out for the next milestone. She even created a custom one to match my black/white office.
