Repurposed Red Footboard Coat Rack

I love a great repurposed headboard project. But this project is a footboard coat rack. So it would be best if you didn’t overlook the footboards.
Read to the end to see what became of the taller headboard.
Using a Paint Sprayer
Painting a headboard (or footboard) by hand can be tedious. A paint sprayer like the Homeright Finish Max gives you great coverage with less overspray.
The black paint went on well, but it’s only the base coat for the footboard coat rack.
Doing a Dry-brush Technique
After the black paint dried, I used a cheap chip brush to do a dry brush technique on the footboard coat rack.
Isn’t the color perfect? Because of the black base coat underneath, it’s not a bright red but a deep red.
I love a deep glazed red, my favorite being the repurposed piano front in my kitchen.
Add Hooks
I recently ordered a LOT of hooks from D Lawless Hardware because they have great prices and I have a LOT of headboards.
Red Footboard Coat Rack
I love the way these hooks look on the red footboard coat rack.
The new red headboard coat rack will even hold scarves and or jewelry.

During the holidays it can even be used to hold stockings!
Here you can see it on display at Glendale. It actually sold pretty quickly.
There are some questions how I hang these on the wall . . .
D Rings for Hanging
I use these d rings to hang all of my coat racks.
I sure wish I needed one of these; I like them quite a bit.

Judi,
Thanks for your question. Somehow I missed Fonda’s question asking the same thing. You can see how I hang all my coat racks here: https://www.myrepurposedlife.com/distressed-chalkboard-headboard-coat-rack/
I’m editing this post to reflect how I do it.
