Coat Rack to the Rescue!

The boys are forever losing their backpacks and jackets...so SuperMom, along with guidance from pa and surprise help from dad,  to the rescue!  This summer I had the idea to make signs out of old cabinet doors.  Whew, am I glad that thought didn't pan out!

 Instead I went to hobby lobby and looked for some decorative door pulls or cast iron hangers to put on the doors for a coat rack.  To my surprise I found these letters at the last minute!  They cost a bit more, but are totally personal for the boys!

First I, along with Pa who can't help but use sandpaper, sanded down the finish on the

 cabinet faces. 

Two coats of black primer were added to the front and back of each door, followed by three coats of flat black spray paint.

I do love how the flat black gives a high end look.  It looks expensive, and totally fits our decorative style.

Collin's door was super smooth, so the finish is as well.

Once the paint was dry, dad came in to drill holes for the hangers.  Note to self:  Pre-drill holes prior to painting.  This will prevent the need for touch up paint later.

The grain in Brody's door is much more pronounced, so the look is totally different!

Finished Product!

Ta-Da!
