diy industrial garment rack - reveal.

[diy industrial garment rack].
11:02 pm.  here I am again, lying awake thinking about all the projects I'd like to make with galvanized pipe.

[what do you mean I'm the only one who does this at night?! that can't be true.]

11:11 pm.   oh nuts! I just remembered we've got guests coming and there are more of them than there are guest rooms in our house.

11:26 pm.   I guess someone will have to sleep in the Mr.'s office...we can move one of the guest beds in there.  that's cool, but there's no closet in that room.

11:39 pm.   eureka! we can make a rolling garment rack out of galvanized pipe!  they can hang their clothes up and there will be a base for their suitcase, or shoes, or whatever.

11:40 pm.   zzzzzzzz....

I woke up the next morning and couldn't wait to tell the Mr. all about my great and wonderful plan...

"Guess what?" says I.
"Uh-oh, what now Lucy?" says he.
whenever I get a totally awesome idea, for some reason, I Love Lucy leaps to his mind.  I don't understand this.

"I'm going to make something" me, all smiles.
"Okkkkk" like a fool, he cautiously wades in.

Yea, that's kind of how most projects start around here.  So we went from this:
[the supplies].
to this:
[diy industrial garment rack with shelf].
I am in love with this industrial garment rack!

Now before you think I made it all for form and no function...well maybe I did.
...after our guests all leave, I'll be taking this wonderful rack for my very own.

Winner winner!

I'll have the tutorial and supply list up soon.
**EDIT** here be the tutorial! hooray!

But as always if you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to ask them in the Comments below and I'll be happy to answer them.

Thanks for reading, friends!

a follow up: Kelly, the guests just left and it worked perfectly! it ended up in my mother in law's room and you know how tough that audience can be...even after almost 20 years :S
My recent post forever fall, feeling vintage.
