DIY Multi Hook Board

I have a couple of vendors that make multi hook boards but they never seem to be the right size or have the right amount of hooks. Grabbing a piece of wood and adding as many hooks as you want in the shape and finish is easier than you might think (and REALLY easy for your builder to do it for you if he's already building your house for you!) I don't sell these pre made but I can help you make them and find the perfect hooks!

ONE

Find a piece of wood. I already had this piece of rough sawn cedar stained with Messmers Driftwood which does a great job cutting the orange that cedar loves to do when stained. It had some holes in it already but since it's for my house, I didn't care! I needed it 30" so my husband cut it for me so it fits the space perfectly.

TWO

Find rad hooks! I stock a ton of hooks at the Showroom on Belleview but have even more that I can order! I ordered these lovely functional triple hooks from Ashley Norton because I needed to hang a lot of stuff in a small space!

Awesome hook options to order!

Lots of in stock to buy today at Mountain Colors Showroom!

THREE

Line the hooks up and screw them in! The cedar is pretty soft so I didn't need to pre drill, but you might if you have a harder wood like oak. The good thing about the board looking rustic and worn too is you don't have to worry too much about the spacing being perfect.

Almost totally straight!

Update your Door Hardware

Replacing the door hardware can be one of the fastest and most affordable ways to update your home. I love being an Emtek hardware dealer because they have so many on trend but timeless handles. Sometimes the amount of choices and combos can be overwhelming! I have a massive display of #Emtek hardware over here in the Showroom but even with their awesome online visualizer, sometimes you just need to hold it in your hand before you commit to buying a whole household of handles. They offer an amazing FREE sample program that really help you visualize some of the many combos out there. I can't wait to see what my client (and friend) decides on her handles. She knows she LOVES the 9" sideplate but she really needed to hold the handles up to her freshly painted black doors to make a decision.

The brass is so pretty against the black but some people worry, am I being too trendy? Replacing all 32 door knobs in her house will be a bigger investment. By going brass, you run the risk of getting bored of the brass as the trends change. But gosh, it's pretty dramatic don't you think? Going brass might be a risk worth taking for that wow factor!

But nothing is more timeless than a perfect matte black handle. This doesn't have the wow factor as the brass but man, I sure could get used to staring at the subtle contrast of black on black.

What would you choose???
