Maxwell's Project: Bathroom Hooks #1

1.7.janjujp1.jpg

10-29-doitnow.jpgIt's January 7th, time to kick off our January Jumpstart Contest across the country and around the world.

The premise is simple: everyone has at least one home related project that's been gathering dust and which they wish they could start and finish. This month is your moment. In each of our four city sites our editors are blogging resources, tips and THEIR OWN PROJECTS.

Hey, we're doing ours, why don't you join us?....

For my project, I'm aiming for something simple which we desperately need: towel hooks in our bathroom.

I don't want to put up regular hooks, however, I am going to buy four different vintage or old hooks on Ebay and then paint them all a beautiful color that will contrast with our green wall. I am also going to hunt down a good, glossy eco paint to do the job. I start this week and plan to do the bulk of the work over the next two weekends.

Join me and send in your submission by January 21st to join our contest. We're working on big, nice prizes that DIYers will love. All the info is below:

I saw the graffiti on the pics and immediately thought I had clicked over to Perez Hilton's site... ROTFL

I too was confused by the orange penis drawings. Moving on... I love the idea of painting vintage hooks various colors. Be sure to post after shots.
