Using Reclaimed Wood… My Barn – Wood & Hooks For Backpack Storage

by Megan

I am so thrilled about our latest project!  I have tried for the longest time to find the perfect set of hooks to put into my newly decorated dining room.  I have gone from a blood red, more elegant dining room, to a more casual, family friendly room with an updated modern style.

It is so hard to find unique hooks that are strong enough to hold the massive backpacks that the  children bring home.  The really cool and decorative hooks that I like are never made of high  quality metal and are likely to break easily.

These cast iron hooks, I got at a craft store and are super strong.  You can find the same thing on amazon.com though for cheap!

This wood obviously has some imperfections, but that is what I love about it. Since I went from a fancy, red with gold accent dining room, to a casual light blue room, I wanted something that featured the laid-back nature of the room. Wood knots and all! I think there is even a paint splatter or two on there as well!
