I finally have a drying rack! Here’s how I built I finally have a drying rack! Here’s how I built the custom drying rack for our laundry room to make it more functional. My @worxtools Switch Driver and Impact Driver were the real MVP’s of this project! Saving me time and energy. I love how it now doubles as a shelf to display antiques I’ve collected throughout the years and also helps me keep this place organized!

I picked up these cute items from @halara_official to mix and match and I am obsessed with the material. Most of the items are made out of athletic material and are so soft. Perfect travel outfits, you still feel cute but very easy fabrics.
