Coat Hook Repurposed Drawer Front

Here’s a quick and easy repurposed drawer front project for you!

Free Antique Drawer Fronts

I got two antique drawer fronts for FREE from my neighbor. Yep, it was either me or the dumpster–so happy I won out.

Use Vintage Knobs on Drawer Front

First, I used the bottom repurposed drawer front to make a coat rack using vintage door knobs. Isn’t it so pretty?

Easy Stain Makeover

I decided to use Minwax Golden Pecan on this one. If you look closely you can see that I filled the original knob holes on the drawer front with some wood filler.

Make New Hooks Look Old For Repurposed Drawer Front

Because I wanted my hooks to look old, like the drawer front, I gathered three new silver coat hooks and did some spray painting on them. I used several different spray paints in addition to some turquoise rub-n-buff to give them an aged look. That’s one of the great things about having a huge stash of spray paint. To get this look, I did more of a “splatter” painting, not giving full coverage of any one color.

Because this drawer front has the trim all the way around, it’s a little beefier. Do you know what piece of furniture this may have come from?

Coat Hook Repurposed Drawer Front

I covered up the original holes on the left and right with the hooks and added a third one to the center.

Drawer Front Coat Rack for Scarves

This repurposed drawer front piece would be great in any room. It could be used for coats, hats, and towels in the bathroom. In addition, it could be used for jewelry as it does have a little width at the top to hold other items on its little built-in mini shelf.

It would be difficult for me to choose a favorite between the two coat racks. This one was definitely easier to do.

Do you have a favorite?

I’d love for you to save & share this project on Pinterest.
