Coat Hanging Made Beautiful AND Fun, Thanks to a Few Old Boards!

Our entry is on the bottom floor of our house, with the main living upstairs.
Trouble was, whenever we'd walk in the door toting in bags of groceries and such, it was too much work to set the bags down, then remove our coats.
So, we'd thump all the way up the stairs with bags in hand, plop the bags on the counter, then throw coats across the sofa.
My cats LOVED the extra padding for afternoon snoozes! But I did not. Sorry guys.
We needed a fix for those tossed salad kinda coats... and thanks to a few old boards and some cool stencils, this certainly did the trick...

A sofa coat salad vs some cool wall art that hangs stuff... no contest, is there?
This hallway resides close to the sofa. But with no where to hang coats, my eye went to the wall on the right. Blank space, I have a special job for you.
These old fence boards were about to get a whole lot prettier!
Once the boards wore some cool sayings, they were screwed directly into the wall, with random hooks added.
Staggering the board placement was key. I just started with one board, then bounced the other ones around it, adding some smaller cuts here and there.
Adding a few freshly cut flowers from a hung up mason jar sealed the deal!
Now it's FUN to hang up stuff!
These stencils are part of my own line of Funky Junk's Old Sign Stencils.

I live near the sea and have collected boards that have washed up with letters and numbers on them. Although they are on my mantel now, when i move in a few years this may be a way I can use them in my new home

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
We have just renovated our main floor, leaving us to paint our stair case wall up to the second floor. I love your ideas & stlye. I was wondering (since we have many mirrors) if you've done a project with just mirrors or something similar?
