How to make a simple coat rank

I seen this on Flax and Spindle and I just had to share! I think it is beautiful and it is so easy to make!!

• A piece of wood at the local hardware store. I recommend measuring the area you wish to hang this and determine the length from there.
  
• Find any knobs that appeal to you, I went with drawer knobs. These are easy to find. If you're a junker like I am you can collect some really cool knobs from estate sales or your local antique shop, if not, places like Target, Ikea or Home Depot have lots to choose from.
  
• I used regular satin wall paint for the wood and let it dry completely. Then, simply measure, mark and drill the spots for your knobs and attach, that's it!
  
• Mix it up any way you'd like. who says it has to be cottage style? Make it contemporary or casual. This was super fun to make and lovely to look at too!

I also want to try this with some fabric! I think it would be cool in stripes or covering the whole thing in fabric.
