Does this Project Measure Up? Putting Vintage Yardsticks to Good Use!

I took a few of the vintage yardsticks from my collection and attached them, along with some new iron hooks, to a plain pine board stained with a Minwax wipe on stain. Believe it or not this will be a baby shower gift! See more at:

I had to visit your blog because I wasn't sure what I would use an outdoor coat rack for, but it seems you have found some creative uses. It looks great, too.

I've seen coat hooks used like this before - amazed more people don't use them in the tool shed. Great idea.

Hi! If you click through to my blog post you can see exactly what the hooks will be used for - hanging them on my barn was just for me to take pictures of the finished product! This is a gift for someone.
