Funky Junk Interiors

I’m still busy assessing how my boy is using his room.

What I thought would be a good place for a desk or table? I’m having second thoughts.

I think he needs a clothes hanging area more.

As in, a bunch of hooks within an easy toss.

As in… maybe his clothes won’t land on the floor so often… a mom can dream, right?

So this little pipe dream (heh) came to mind.

This will be done so fast, you won’t have time to blink!

What you’ll need:

pipe fittings – mine are 1/2″
wood plank
cordless drill and screws
palm sander

1. Cut wood plank to size, and lightly sand.

2. Screw together fittings, as above.

The straight ones measure at 3″. I think I measured them right.

3. Attach pipe fittings onto the wood plank, via screws.

Pre-drilling holes is a good idea, to avoid splitting the wood.

4. Mount to the wall with screws through the wood plank.

(you may desire to install wall anchors first, if you can’t find a wall stud. I generally cross my fingers, and go without both for light duty stuff)


It sure has a neat look to it, doesn’t it?

And… the board did crack due to not pre drilling some holes. 

Can anyone explain why it only cracked in one area though? Naturally, the last screw in too!

Still good and strong, and ready for their first working gig.


My son’s room wasn’t ready for it yet, so I installed this downstairs so I could show you the idea.

Unless I steal it for my own room… or the bathroom maybe.

Oh dear. I guess I want one too.

This would make such a perfect mini entry coat hook area.

Add a crate, with a clipboard, and you have a little grocery list station as well.

Say… I need that in my kitchen…

I love it when I inspire myself.


Warning: start buying pipe fittings, and you’ll soon become addicted.

Meaning, you’ll take projects apart to help fuel your new brainstorms.

p.s. I miss my little coffee station shelf AND entry shelf and Pantry shelf and Laundryroom hanger already.

It’s obviously time to buy bulk!
