However, I don't think that happened. By the time I bought the wood, trim, stain and door knobs I think the price was close to the one on Etsy but at least I can say I made it myself. Right?
The board is the same length as the one on Etsy, I figured it was a good size rack. I looked everywhere for the onlay but I couldn't find one that was small enough. So I gave up on that and decided to add some trim instead. Now the door knobs. I looked at Home Depot, Lowe's, Target and Wal-Mart and none of them had the old timey knobs that I wanted. So I decided to look on Etsy and eBay. I found some on eBay that I liked. I decided on two clear glass knobs, a cobalt blue glass knob, a white rose ceramic knob and royal blue rose knob. Jeff put the rack together for me then I stained it. I wanted the same look as the one on Etsy, the distressed look but I looked everywhere for distressed paint and I couldn't find it. Evidently, to get that look there are ten million steps to achieve it and I didn't want to do all that. I finally found a stain, white wash pickling stain that I used instead. After, I stained it and let it dry for a couple days, Jeff put the knobs on. It's hanging up by my bathroom sink above my towel rack. One day I will paint the bathroom walls a light blue to match the royal blue rose knob. That will be my next big project as I want to also put up bead board in there. Maybe next year. Anyway, overall I liked how it turned out. What do you think?
