Backpack Rack

 This was my smart idea (if I may say so myself) that I modified from a Lowe's magazine.  The pose I used was left over from our when our swing set broke.  So, I filled the huge holes from the bolts with putty, sanded it then painted the whole thing.  Then I added shelf supports, painted to match, as the legs and some hooks.  The shelf supports were not as cheap as I had hoped, but overall I am very happy with it.  At least now I don't have to worry so much about Levi pulling chairs over on himself.

Let me give a little background on this.  As you enter our house from the garage, the first thing you come to is our table.  Naturally then, everything in our hands gets dumped on the table and our backpacks and coats just get hung on our chairs.  This wouldn't be a huge deal, but our chairs are cheap (but cute) Ikea
chairs that  tip over fairly easily anyways.  With coats and backpacks, it takes almost nothing to topple them over.  So now that Levi is mobile and into everything - this was a concern for me.

Not anymore!!!
