Collapsable Coat Rack DIY

Now that we have a hat rack for the boys, we realized we didn’t have a great entry, mud room option for ourselves! We tend to walk in drop a pile of stuff we bring in from the car and it just sort of stays there. This DIY is super easy and incredibly transportable, not to mention folds completely flat when you want to tidy up.

Paint. We chose black and white cause we had it in the garage, and cause it always looks clean and chic.

Paint the dowels and let dry.

Or keep it out for daily use!NCC_9818Whats on our rack? Madewell Transport tote, the best Panama Hat, Hunters, and Sunny’s Cloud PJs that we just die over.Untitled-1
