After looking around in vain for a unique coat rack for my entryway, I asked Virtual Farmhusband to make one. We didn’t agree on the board, but we were thrilled to learn that Hoosier Outsider had a stock of old, pre-Civil War nails. VFH shined them up in the wood shop and we took them home.
I had wanted the wood to be the bead board that we discovered under the front ste
ps of our 1920s craftsman cottage. We suspect that pile of planks once decorated one or more of our interior rooms, or was part of the front porch.
But since I wasn’t doing any of the physical labor, I settled for the wood VFH liked…an old, weathered piece of barn wood.
I worried it would be too rustic for the house. But it ended up looking nice, Shaker in its simplicity.

I love it. I personally hang on lots of nails. I do hate that if one is not attentive, or does not use those nice hanging loops jackets so often have on them nowadays, that the nails put holes in the back of your neck portion of the jacket.Tell Simeon, good work.
