Two sorta scrap projects.. [View all]

I had some thin poplar and some pine laying around the shop, so I decided to make a few things with it.

No plans this time, I just kind of winged it..

First is a shelf + coat rack + chalkboard..

(The chalkboard will hang on cup hooks right in the center of the field, and there will be coat hooks along the bottom edge. I know it's a mish-mash of styles and materials, but it's all getting painted, so what the heck.

With the leftovers from *that*, I made a towel bar and shelf..

Probably milk paint. (Kind of a beach cottage-ey look.) n/t X_Digger Apr 2014 #2

Maybe rethink the first one. No matter where the hooks go, you're going to Warpy Apr 2014 #3

Yeah, I say 'chalk'.. but that's to be determined. X_Digger Apr 2014 #5

How about 2 rows of hooks? Warpy Apr 2014 #8
