We put it aside figuring we would eventually find a good use for it.
And then recently, the perfect use came to mind.
We decided to turn it into a contemporary wall mount towel rack for our parents cottage bathroom.
However, they changed their tune once they saw the finished product!
It is quite rustic, very beachy with a modern twist.

We then placed it in the sun to dry for several days.
The next step was to spray lacquer on all sides of the driftwood.
We chose a matte finish but a glossy would have worked out well too.
This piece of wood would lay flush against the wall and hold the wall mounting hardware.
Next, we used the markings to drill small pilot holes into the 1x2 wood piece.
Prior to affixing the keyhole hangers, we put a bit of wood glue into the pilot holes.
The 1x2 backing piece is now ready to be mounted to the driftwood.
Be careful not to drill completely through to the front side of the driftwood.
Before screwing the pieces together add a generous amount of wood glue into the pilot holes for extra adhesion.
Secure the backing to the driftwood with three screws: one on each end and one in the middle.
We pre-marked the drill holes with a pencil and then drilled all the holes.
The final step was to add thebrass towel/coat hooks.
Using compatible screws and a screwdriver we securely attached each of the hooks.
We were thinking to use it in our cottagesbeach themed bathroomas a DIY towel rack.
However, weve decided to save it for the entryway for arustic coat rack idea.
