Before and After: Our Entryway Mudroom

Tuesday, March 16, 2010

I thought about calling this post, "How it Pays to Have Friends with Skillz"  after my last post.  Because this makeover is all thanks to my friends, Sammi and Eddie for their tools and skillz.  Is it one "L" or two when you add a 'z?

After spending the winter frustrated with our staircase turned coat rack, and then seeing Tim, The Remodeling Guy's post on this Coat Hanger Shelf, I thought I had to at least try this how-to.  It turned out to be too much for the Pajama Mama, but no problem for Sammi's husband who always seems up for a project.

Here's the before:




And the afters:







And for those of you who read PM in a reader, click over to see what my other skilled friend Ana (you know her from Barefooted-Blessings) did to my banner!

Thanks, Ana & Eddie!

Hi-

Could you tell me what size boards you used? On the remoldeling Guys site he suggested 2x10 and 1x6, but your boards don't look that thick. Thanks!

Could you please tell me what size boards you used for the coat hanger shelf? They don't look as thick as the ones recommended on The Remodeling Guys site. Thank you!
