Here's a DIY tutorial : http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2012/04/garment-rack-diy-.html

This looks similar to the kind of wardrobe rack i used to work with at the very first motion picture wardrobe warehouse, which opened in 1911. The racks were hand-made with plumbing pipes and wood. Wheels and wood trough-boxes were added to the square pipe base

Awww...don't be down, hon...

Post some pictures of your space if you like...we have a diy thread going on in the Home Decorating section, too and I totally get the budget/independence/exhaustion thing having been through the same thing.

There's nothing that can't be made better on very little money. I promise.

We need a bit more information, but we're happy to help...

Have you checked Craigslist for garment racks? A lot of the time, people buy them for garage sales and then don't need them any more. Ikea also has one for about 15 dollars I believe.

Don't fret. We're here for ya!
