This might be an idea you haven't thought of for lighting the inside of an old armoire. I purchased this large antique armoire for storage. It came with shelves but I needed a way to light the inside. I used a 16 foot rope light with mounting clips from Walmart. I drilled a hole in the lower back right corner to feed the wire of a power strip with a switch and plugged it into the wall outlet. I attached the strip to the bottom of one of the shelves with mounting tape, plugged in the rope light and placed it around the perimeter using mounting tape and a few clips. So I just flip the switch and let there be light!

I've always wanted to make a Hall Tree Coat Rack. Here's our version of it. The post is 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" and the total height to the top of the star is 5' 8 1/2". I attached Large Coat Hooks and drilled a hole in the top and inserted a Mini Star Nail . For the base, John came up with the idea of attaching the Star Braces for stability. I love this! The wood pieces are glued and screwed into the post. You could paint the hooks and star to match the braces or paint it all the color of your choice. Stain or paint the wood or leave natural.

You can use our Branding Irons on steaks but also on wood or leather to create designs for coat racks, picture frames, wooden boxes and many other wooden items. We just used a torch and it takes a while. A camp fire would work great. Experiment a little with it. The star brand I held a little too long the first time. But you may want that effect.

You can use Clavos for many different things like rustic doors, picture frames or upholstery, but why not dress up any basket with these 1" Silver Clavos. Just stick them in and make your own design. You could put a little hot glue and snip off the points inside the basket.

You can use our Texas Bling Pins to adorn your hats! Texas & Western Jewelry
