    How to use a broken drawer front to make a fun and easy hook rack. Step by step directions to make your own drawer front hook rack. #MyRepurposedLife #repurposed #upcycle #furniture #drawerfront #hookrack via @repurposedlife

    Making a repurposed drawer hook rack is a fairly easy project. There was no need to saw anything. Dismantling a dresser drawer is easily done with a rubber mallet. I saved the drawer pieces for other small crafty projects. These drawer fronts were left over from this Repurposed Dresser Bench.

    How to: Repurposed Drawer Hook Rack

    After salvaging the front of the drawers, all that I needed to do was to patch the holes  where the handles were with drywall mud. Then I was ready to paint. Of course I used my favorite technique using my own version of diy chalky paint primer made with latex paint and plaster of paris. I make a paste with the POP and a little water, then simply pour in a little latex paint. This is by far my favorite way to paint because it’s inexpensive and the colors of paint are endless. My favorite cheap chip brush was used, making it a quick paint job, and easy clean up.

     

    DIY Chalky Paint

    The back of the drawer front was painted first. Small painter’s pyramids allow me to flip the drawer front over without waiting for the paint to dry.

     

    Glaze tones down color

    After the red paint dried, I used another chip brush to apply smoked glaze to tone down the color. You can see more glazing projects here. I seriously love using this glaze on so many projects.

     

    Add FLeur De Lis coat hooks

    Adding the fleur de lis hooks I got from D. Lawless Hardware was easy once I measured the area. I had to drill holes for the hooks, then used a screwdriver to secure them.

    Isn’t the color awesome? I love the way the black coat hooks look against the glazed red drawer front. This repurposed drawer hook rack would be perfect for necklaces, or towels in a guest room.

    I hope you love this repurposed drawer hook rack as much as I do. If so, won’t you pin it?

      Looks much better as a hook rack than it did as a drawer front.

      I love this project. It’s a great use for leftovers. I’m looking for a couple of draws to put rollers on to slide my shoes in under the bed. Like you did in 2014. My small house means small closet, which means maximizing spac
