Recycled Coat Rack


Recycled Coat Rack


Hey, hey I've got a great and easy project for you! This coat rack can be customized to fit your decor. My husband made it from recycled wood and some old fabric we had laying around. There was no real pattern that he followed, it was all in his head, (which is kind of scary).

The knobs are just something we had also, all in all I don't think this project cost more than a couple of dollars. It fits perfectly in my bathroom, I like to hang my bath robe on it, and wet towels.

Graduation Shadowbox


Graduation Shadowbox



After I graduated from college, my husband wanted to do something special for me. He made this shadowbox to display all my special stuff.

Believe it or not, this project is made from recycled materials. The box that you see here used to be an old abstract art work. It really was not my taste, however neat it was. After years of storage, it finally got a face lift. My husband painted the frame and arranged things just so. He also used my graduation gown for the background. I love it, it was the perfect graduation gift, and it barely cost a thing! Yay recycling...
