Is this a weird towel holder spot?
Comments (16)flseadog, I actually did check out that pic prior to posting and thought it looked OK, but my husband mounted the towel holder say where the side light is in the picture, except a few inches lower. It's just too close to the mirror IMO but there's no room to put it off to the side as in the picture. I'll try to snap a pic of it tomorrow (if I remember how...I don't think I've posted pics in these forums for literally a few years). I should add the mirror isn't up yet because it hasn't arrived, but the dimensions are marked off on the wall with painters tape....See Moretowel bar, towel ring or hook for hand towel by sink?
Comments (10)I mixed it up for different reasons. Master bath: hooks near shower & tub for bath towels, rings for hand towels @ sink. I'm really, really, really loving the hooks for the bath towels. I used double hooks, and I like that I can drape a towel over both "prongs" to help open it up for drying. Don't actually take the hand towels off the ring unless I'm swapping them for clean ones, so the rings are fine. Guest bath: towel bar at sit-in shower for bath towels, smaller towel bar at sink for hand towels. This was more of a space issue. It was a very typical "galley" type bathroom layout. I went with double towel rods so that each guest (generally my parents) could have two towels without taking up the entire wall. Hooks would have worked, too, but I wanted to be able to fold them over something and free up some wall space. The shorter towel bar at the vanity allowed space for two guest hand towels to reside on one wall, without taking up counter space. Half bath: Open ring for hand towel (because it was the best looking option that came in my faucet's line, and I wanted them to match). :) Hollywood bath (DD's): No towel bar, rings for hand towels. Her shower area is small and the only wall that would fit a towel bar is the wall the door opens up against. I didn't want to have to choose between open door or dry towels. So I bought an over the door hook, and really cute coordinating towels....See MoreNo hand towel holders in bathrooms
Comments (31)Does anyone remember the counter pig in Kitchens around 18 years ago? Someone had a fairly large ceramic pig that she put on her kitchen counter to drape the hand drying towel on top of so that it could dry out of range of the kitchen mess, but still in an easy to reach position near the sink. It became a ”thing” for a while in the Kitchens Forum at Gardenweb. I could see a character from one of the kids’ favorite books or movies standing in a pose with an arm (or tail or trunk or whatever appendage) extended to hold a towel. Enlarge a picture from a coloring book, cut it from a piece of wood on a bandsaw, mount it on a heavy base, and sand and paint and varnish it. I would suggest repurposing an action figure, but they have become so small, they could not even hold a fingertip towel. Or get one of those “kids at play” warning figures that you put at the end of your driveway to warn the kids to not go past it and warn drivers to watch for kids. Don’t they have an arm extended? Something big like this would be on the floor, at the right height for little ones. Look through your parents’ old decorative items for a big ceramic pig or goose. They were quite popular at one time. Pigs were often painted with flowers. A goose could hold spare towels folded across her back and the ”in use” towel would drape over her head....See MorePowder room help! Towels and lights
Comments (4)The wall color does not work with that counter so maybe start there. As for towels I do not like cloth towels in a PR so a nice holder for diposibles on the piece above the toilet would be perfect.BTW none of those pink tones for sure. The mirror is too much for a small space IMO and the white is too much contrast with the counters The mirror almost looks like the trim was an add on so maybe try removing it but I would go with a nice smaller mirror a good over head light with LED bulbs 4000K and then a wall color from the counter maybe even the really dark color. PR can be fun since they are small everything needs to be kind of like a jewel box since no one spends much time in there....See MoreMariposaTraicionera
