My house is a little bit odd. There isn't any storage and the closets are all super small. The other thing thats weird is we don't use our front door. Our driveway is clear on the other side of our house. Out of convince we use the side entrance.
For the longest time I didn't really have a place to hang my bag or jacket. They ultimately would end up on the floor or thrown on the couch. I am so glad that I finally got this little side entry finished.

I have a love for old things. Mixing old with new is even better. This barn wood coat rack has been a great addition to our entry way!
For this project here is what you will need:
This little shelf came together really fast and the end result is fabulous.

Lynne Hester on Apr 10, 2015Lots of older homes Do not have hardly any closet space. I believe it was the German influence of that time. In Germany - I think you are taxed on how many rooms you have in the house. Closets would be considered a room.

Phyllis on Apr 10, 2015I like your idea of shelf and hooks, but if you could have more wood from the old barn, why not make a hall tree, hooks for coats, jackets, hats and a bench for sitting on, then make an area either a slide out drawer or a rack for shoes and boots, under the bench. Add a framed mirror on the back too, us to check yourself before leaving the house? I like the basket, it would be great for umbrellas, etc. But I really do love the old wood.
