DIY Pot Rack With Pipes From Home Depot

Medium
We installed our own pot rack on the wall in my kitchen. Not too difficult, but provides lots of storage space for the pots. And, I think it's quite beautiful!

You’ll want to measure where the studs are in the wall first. The main pipe length was based on that measurement.

All the pipes are black & 1 1/2-inch diameter.

In fact, the diameter of the pipes was partially based on the “S” hooks that I had, because you want to make sure that the hook fits over the pipe easily.

There are some detail pictures of the S hooks in the comments on this post. They are also on the main blog post. Very important: Make sure your pot rack is level when you hang it, or the pots may slide to one side. See more at:

I’m sure that, like me, you have more than a few beautiful cookbooks stuffed away in a cupboard or on a shelf. I wanted to find a way to display a few cookbooks from my collection, and what better way than a DIY kitchen display rack. I also had a few artisanal cutting boards that I thought would add to the rustic vibe of my kitchen. This display rack doesn’t take up a lot of space, and allows you to show off some of your favorite cookbooks, cutting boards, and serving trays.

$15 Backsplash Make Over

$15 Backsplash Make Over

Searching for ways to give your backsplash a makeover? I have an idea for you that is under $15! Have I told you I love our cottage? If I have not, then I want to let you know I do! We keep working at making it "our" home with our personalities reflected throughout. Sometimes I come up with a really crazy idea, and then the more I think about it I wonder if it is as crazy as I think it is, or if it is just perfect for our cottage.If you have read along for any length of time then you know my creativity was hindered by an art teacher for way too long. If you would like to read that post, you can click on Spring Decorating Idea. I am unsure if she was having a bad day, meant what she said, or what happened that day in 1980 something, but you know what? When working with the youth, you never know how you say something could be taken to heart. Sometimes you need to be mindful with your approach because like me, they could take that one comment and let that affect them... forever... don't worry, I got my confidence back in the creativity department. I quite enjoy it now... which leads us back to my crazy idea.There is one room in our home that I have not spent energy doing much of anything to since Mr. Vintage is dead set it will be completely remodeled. Yep, the kitchen... I have spent many hours combing the internet looking at kitchens. None really get me excited. I do not want a kitchen like everyone else. Standard boxes that store things... I want to be excited to be in my kitchen! I want it to reflect my personality... I want to wake up every morning with a smile on my face and be so excited to set foot in my kitchen that I cannot sleep at night... ok, that may be taking it a bit far. I already do not sleep enough... but I do want to be excited to spend time in my kitchen.I want to see curves... detail... furniture... not square boxes all lined up and your standard backsplash, and standard tile on the floor... I would love to have the black and white penny tile of days gone by, but Mr. Vintage does not agree... and I know you have to compromise... but why on this one detail do we have to? LOL.So, when I had a crazy idea for a new backsplash, I presented my idea to Mr. Vintage. He did not have much to say at first, sometimes I think he has to prepare himself for the idea and know we will more than likely move forward with it, but he has to mentally get himself ready for it... like why do I want the bathroom closet wallpapered? Click if you would like to read You will never guess what we did. He just shakes his head and asks how do you think this will get done and who is doing this project?My response is we can do this wonderful project together. Then we start whatever project and he takes over because he does not like how I do something or I get frustrated because it is not working out the way I saw it coming together in my mind.... secretly, he is just better at doing projects than me so I tend to get frustrated early on. Shhh... do not tell him my secret!So when I prompted him again about changing out the backsplash, he said he wanted to do it when we remodeled the kitchen. I said well, I have an "easy" way to make it different, and beautiful, and fancy pants... he rolled his eyes and kept doing what he was doing since he has found the projects are seldom easy... so then I had to step up my game and tell him I could do it for less than $15.00! That may have gotten his attention...Here is our backsplash before:

Super Easy DIY Ladder Pot Rack for Under $40

Super Easy DIY Ladder Pot Rack for Under $40

My husband thought I was a little bit crazy when I suggested suspending a ladder in the kitchen and hanging pots and pans off of it... ladder pot racks just weren't something he had ever even heard of, let alone seen.But he admitted that I have a pretty good track record when it comes to home décor, so he was willing to hear me out and see what he could do to help.We happened to have a ladder already on hand from when he made blanket ladders last fall, so we held it up in the kitchen a bunch of different ways until he could see what I was going for. It was obvious that it would work and look amazing, but first we would need to cut it down a little to make it a) look more like a pot rack and less like a ladder and b) fit above the island in the middle of the kitchen.For our pot rack, I simply cut 2 feet off the blanket ladder to make it 4 feet; but I'll cover a do-it-from-scratch routine here in case you missed the how to make a blanket ladder post. If you already have a blanket ladder (and why wouldn't you??), skip on down to the Preparing to Hang Your Ladder Pot Rack section below.

While scrolling Instagram, various times I have come across Devol’s beautiful kitchens. The rich colors and design draw me in every 👏 single 👏 time 👏! The price of someone coming to my home and recreating this look, for me, is the equivalent of a cross to Dracula- REPULSIVE!!! There is no way I would ever pay those high dollar design/material fees! 😩... Nonetheless I still tease myself by drooling-I mean scrolling through their wonderful work.... My recent favorite was a kitchen with a brass pot rack over gorgeous green tiles. The contrast was eye-catching and fantastic. Though I saved the photo for inspiration, for whatever reason, it never occurred to me to recreate the pot rack. Then one day I had an epiphany of how to recreate this look using supplies that I already had on hand (I can already hear the cheers from fellow “cheapskates”!- you are my people!!!). Here is how I did it!

DIY Ladder Pot Rack

We've been in need of some extra storage in our kitchen. I thought it would be convenient to have all of my pots and pans hanging from above the kitchen island. They'd be right there within reach, so no digging through cupboards. Instead of going out and buying an actual pot rack, I thought it would be cool to make my own out of a DIY ladder.

When planning a kitchen one of the primary goals is to ensure that there is sufficient storage so that everything can be kept in its own place and the kitchen can function as well as possible. But sometimes kitchens are so tiny there simply isn't enough space to install all the kitchen cabinets and cupboards we’d like.

Tropical Summer Wreath - Tips on How to Make the Perfect Wreath

One of my favorite things to craft are wreaths. I just love how creative you can be when making one. You can make one using just about anything. Over the years I have learned a few tips and tricks when making wreaths. Below I will walk you through the method that I find works the best for creating the perfect wreath!For this wreath I used some faux silk flowers and greenery on a grapevine wreath. A friend of mine generously gifted me the flowers and at fist I wasn’t sure what to do with them, as they aren’t necessarily my style, but in the end I just love how they turned out on the wreath. I think it still keeps that classic traditional look that I like while incorporating some fun tropical foliage.

Planting Hosta Bulbs: How To Plant Bare-Root Hostas in Spring or Fall

Planting Hosta Bulbs: How To Plant Bare-Root Hostas in Spring or Fall

Hostas are an easy-to-grow, low-maintenance perennial plant perfect for shade gardens and low-light areas in your landscape. While you can buy them as potted plants, they’re often much more affordable to buy as bare-root plants, sold alongside flowering bulbs. Here’s everything you need to know about planting hosta bulbs!How To Plant Hosta Bulbs Here are the basic steps for planting hosta bulbs (bare root hostas) in the garden:Find a nice shady spot, preferably with soil that drains well.Soak bulbs/roots for 1 hour if the roots are dry or soft.Dig a wide hole, about 4 inches deep (not too deep).Place the hosta bulb in the center of the hole with the roots at the bottom.Spread the roots outwards (like the rays of a sun).Gently hold the crown just below surface level.Carefully backfill the hole with soil, trying not to leave too many air pockets.Check that the crown of the plant (where the roots meet the stems) is at ground level.Water after planting to moisten surrounding soil and help it settle around the hosta roots.Add a thin mulch of homemade compost on soil surface to keep the roots moist and cool.Hosta bulbs can be planted in early spring or in the fall (up to a month before the ground freezes for winter). Mail-order hostas are often shipped in the fall, while in-store hosta bulbs are generally stocked at garden centers in early spring (alongside spring-planted flowering bulbs).

Lodi’s Room Reveal complete with New Light Fixtures! Starting at the beginning… When I renovated this home back in 2014-2015 I designed this as a wide hallway which included a huge closet made specifically to house a 6 foot chest freezer. At the end of the hall I put our “back door” which included a doggie door in it – which was a great straight shot out of the house for my big dog at the time. In 2018 I got rid of the chest freezer and I was playing around with making this wasted area into a reading nook / day bed / dog bed area and putting up some kind of gate so I could lock dogs back here whenever I needed to…

How To Remove Carpet On Top Of Hardwood Floors

How To Remove Carpet On Top Of Hardwood Floors

Can you believe that when our ranch house was built in 1977, they installed hardwoods and then carpet right on top? My contractor hubby Steve says that was common back then. We found out about the hardwood ages ago after I chose and paid for new carpet. When the installers arrived and started pulling up the old carpeting – voila! There it was. Darn it. Flash forward and it’s time for a new flooring option. So we decided to pull it all up and I am sharing how to remove carpet on top of hardwood floors in four steps.Making the decision to dive into this project was SO easy. One minute we were enjoying coffee on a lazy Sunday morning and the next minute we were yanking up carpet, padding, nailing strips, and staples. That night we were so sore and crabby, thinking we were just nuts. The bloom was off the excitement of our decision.At this point, two weeks after starting, we have the very long hallways and the den completed. The sobering part of this project at our home is that the floors are very orange-ish and have only a rough sanding sealer on top. Meaning that the newly-discovered floors require sanding and a sealer. Plus, to me, a color option that will tone down the red oak color. UGH!Steve spent hours sanding the floors with a heavy-duty sander and they look amazing. However, the whole house would take him forever! Now, he and I have determined that we will continue to remove the carpet in each room as we have time, then decide how to finish the floors later. Just moving the furniture to get to every inch of our rooms is daunting and our knees need a break after each room.We know we are going to love the final result and you will too if you have discovered hardwoods under your carpet. P.S. have you peeked yet? Just use pliers to pull up a corner of carpet inside a closet to see what you have. Fingers crossed it’s hardwoods.

Rocking ReDo

I'm a trash-to-treasure visionary. Simply put, that means I'll gather and hold on to anything that has potential. It's a problem, and yet...sometimes it really pays off.This is a Cracker Barrel rocker that one of my tenants left behind when they moved. I asked her permission to take it and she was happy to oblige. You can see by the photos, it appeared to be in pretty bad shape, but it was very heavy, and not a bit wobbly. It sat in this condition on my front porch for the last four years. I finally got around to sprucing it up because I wanted to sell it. After finishing, it looks like I might just be keeping it.

Good stuff too. She knows I like to makeover furniture so she said she thought of me immediately. Needless to say we rushed over there and took a bunch of things. Check out this pile….Will ya look at all this good stuff!!!
