After yesterday’s wood shaping, some paint, and $24 in hooks my closet has eight new points from which to hang clothing. This all started when Danielle wanted more places to hang hoodies in my closet. Finding a suitable blank space of wall, some spare poplar from work being done around my sister’s house, and suitable hooks at Home Depot I set to work on things.
At $3.99/ea the hooks were a bit pricey, and my can of pure white paint had rusted so I had to buy a new one, but I’m quite content with how it all came out. It fits the space needed and with the hooks screwed into the poplar and the board hanging off of the drywall with toggle bolts it’s quite solid.
This looks really good. Did you paint the screw heads before you put them in, or after? Or did the hooks come with everything painted?
Jessie: The hooks and screws both came painted, or more likely powder coated. The white finish on the screws did mar slightly when I was putting them in, but I didn’t let the screwdriver slip, so it’s very minimal.
