Build-It-Yourself: September 2006 Monthly archive
A reader submitted a great idea for a decorative wall of hooks. Instead of the standard metal hooks or coat racks she suggests using finials as hooks and attaching them to a board coming straight out of the wall. In the right home they can provide more of a period feel and be painted or stained to match wainscoting or existing curtain rods and finials.

Here's our post as seen on Readymade.
Instead of buying a fashionable wood-slat doormat, why not make one of your own. You’ll need 3/4-inch lumber (any type) and the tools to cut and fasten the pieces together. You can customize this doormat to fit your needs by adding paint, finishes, or carvings. You could even monogram your custom made doormat with a personalized branding-iron.
