CREATIVITY IS MORE important than income, says Frank Fontana. Here are some creative“secrets” from his book, Frank Fontana’s Dirty Little Secrets of Design.

■ Turn an old bookcase into a hall catchall for shoe and boot storage. Turn the bookcase on end, add casters to the bottom of the bookcase; fasten coat hooks on both sides, and a full-length mirror where shelves would have gone.

■ Convert a toy chest into a country-style entry bench by adding a white picket fence as a chair back, a chair pillow on the top and casters to the bottom of the chest. Once it’s assembled, paint the entire piece white.

■ Bicycle-wheel pot rack. Take a large, clean bike wheel with spokes, attach three chains to one side of the rim with an S-hook, and join the other end of the chains together with another S-hook at the top. Use an eyebolt to mount the wheel and chains to your ceiling. Use additional hooks for hanging pots and pans.

■ Doorknob coat rack. Take several old doorknobs, mount them on a piece of painted barn wood and screw to the wall.—JS
