Canoe Paddle Hat/Coat Rack

By ZolaClaire

I bought some red canoe paddles for our son's room about 3 years ago. We were trying to go with an outdoorsy theme and thought that they might look cool on the wall or mounted on the side of his bunkbed.  Unfortunately I couldn't commit to hanging them anywhere so they they sat hidden behind his bed for over a year.  We moved houses a year later and the paddles sat in his new closet for yet another year.  While cleaning his room one day I rediscovered the paddles and this time I knew exactly what to do with them.  After we attached some hooks and knobs, we mounted them to the wall and now our son hangs his hats, a jacket, an accoridian etc...  from them.

That's a great idea.  I bet you could do some interesting things with an old sled or maybe even a toboggon.

I kept thinking about this and while I don't have oars I do have some old wooden skis that might work too.  I'll post if it comes out okay.
