Recycle old outdoor faucet handles or vintage hand drills to create a great and one-of-a-kind storage solution. I love, love, love this idea for back entry ways, kitchens and baths.How To:
Outdoor Faucet Handles
1. Determine your desired fixture length & buy tubular pipe cut to size.
2. Pull together an interesting collection of faucet styles and colors from local salvage yards, flea markets or your own garage.
2. Have a welder attach the faucets & piping to complete the tubular coatrack.

1. Cut recycled floorboard or new wood to fit your space.
2. If using recycled floorboard scribe curve of board onto trim piece & cut following your line. Do one for each end of the board.
3. Sand the trim pieces to smooth the rounded cuts.
4. Attach trim pieces with finishing nails, one to each end of the floorboard.
5. Stain trim to match floorboard or stain the new board and trim a medium tone.
6. Measure and place hand drills an equal distance an equal distance from one another on the board.
7. Attach hand drills to the floorboard or new board with plastic fasteners.
