Found this road-side kill and transformed it to a practical coat hanger. Ideal for a small entrance hall.

Materials

Re-cycled pieces of wood
Pages torn from an old book
Wood glue and water
Old hooks and keys
Metal paint
Furniture wax
Terps
Sandpaper 200 grit

Coat hanger before — The original piece I found next to the road

Coat hanger 2 — Started with cutting two lenghts of wood for extra hooks

Coat hanger 3 — Decoupaged the drawer inside with pages from an old book. I used clear varnish to seal the paper.

Coat hanger 4 — Gave a light sanding and then painted with my home made chalk paint. Three layers to cover properly.

Coat hanger 1 — Finally a good wax. I use old socks.

Coat hanger 5 — The hooks on the right are old recycled hooks. The new hooks were too bright so I painted them with bronze metal paint.

Gave the drawer handle also a bronze finish with metal paint.

Coat hanger d — Bent old keys to serve as key holders

Coat hanger g — And here is the finished lady
