You know
how you always check the ‘dollar spots’ and bargain zones at your favorite
stores with big dreams of finding something amazing for a really good price but
all that remains is usually kiddy items and items that no one would actually
want, even if it was free? Well, I try to check the Michaels and Target ‘dollar
spots’ regularly, with these dreams. On a recent Michael’s run with that exact
experience in mind, I was pleasantly surprised. Turns out they had something that
actually had some potential.
Remember I
told you about my shoe changing nook by the front door? You know, where we told
you about the ottoman and its fabulous storage? I had also told you about the
coat rack that would be coming in a soon-to-be published post? Well, that day
is today!
We do have
a closet there but would like to utilize it for storage and needed a coat rack
for guests. This recent trip to Michael’s solved that dilemma. We snagged some
fabulous knobs for $1 each and in what seemed like just minutes later, we had a
super easy but fabulous coat rack! We had the board in the garage and simply
cut a piece off, routered the edge, drilled the knob holes & hanging holes,
painted and ta-da!
This will
be super practical when it comes to wrangling purses, scarves, dog leashes, and
guest coats. We’re just a-place-for-everything-and-everything-in-its-place
kinda people, so we like creating systems that make things feel organized and
automatic.
So what
about you, my readers? Do you have a little specialized corner for
storing/wrangling specific items that you use on the regular? Is anyone else a
fan of using simple coat hooks to keep things organized? Tell us all about it.

Hi There, Just stopped by from Meetup Mondays. I love the little knobs. What a great find! I looked around your blog and really appreciate the blog building info. it's just what I've been looking for!
Great idea. A good way to keep things tidy.
love your creative title! that's what made me click thru. one can always use a space to corral things, great find with those knobs!
very cute. I paint a lot of furniture pieces and I love Michael's too for their dollar hardware. Since I resell the pieces this really helps to keep the initial cost down. Your idea is oh so clever though. I will definitely have to remember it.
