Day Four-twenty-six: more organization

This week we finished a couple projects that we previewed last time.

In the upstairs closet we clear stained a couple shelves and have dramatically improved our storage in a common feature of older houses.

We also tired of the coat rack inside the front door that wasn't practical enough to meet our needs. What do you do when this happens? If you're like us you buy some components from Home Depot...

...clear stain them, add some hooks, and the result is a really handsome new coat rack that looks like a page out of some high-end home design magazine. Here's a close-up:

This is complete with covers for the screws and shows the orientation by the door.

And here's an action photo.
