Hat rack

Since we remodelled the airing cupboard to take the thermal store for the new heating system, we've been using the old pipes as a hat rack.


Old heating pipes bent into hooks for hats

This was kind of OK, but they didn't fit very well and I usually knocked at least one off when I was trying to take another out of the cupboard. When I went to help Dad with his house in Cornwall, I scrounged the coat pegs from his house. Over the last few days I've given them a couple of coats of paint, and this morning I hung them on the wall, then added hats.

They're not ideal - it would be better if the pegs were further apart - but they're a lot better than what we had before. I decided it really wasn't worth the effort of cutting them up and fixing each part separately, so this is what we've got. I'm starting January as I mean to go on, getting small jobs ticked off the list.

    That looked like a good way to reuse old pipes. You do have a lot of non-foldable hats between you. Most of ours are folded up in drawers.

      Cheers Karin, I must admit I was quite pleased with the pipes, seeing as they were there in the back of the cupboard already, but now the hats no longer live there, I have space (in theory) to put a shelf back in the top of the cupboard, which would be a good place to keep towels.
