(Dish) Towel Holder

11 years ago

Few weeks back while looking at granite pictures here at GW I saw a kitchen, a beautiful kitchen with a butler kind of a statue holding a towel on his arm, placed near the sink. I loved it so much and thought I clipped it. But I can't see it now. Does any one else remember or have seen that? Please help! I need to find it!

It's like a waiter holding a wine bottle kind of statue but this one holds a towel...isn't that lovely :-)

Help!

Thank Annie. The one I saw in pictures here on GW was a statue of a man standing and bending down a little in service and the towel was hanging from his arm...I love dit so much....kicking myself for not asking right then :-(
I see a lot of such for holding a bottle on wine on the web but none for a towel.

haha marcolo--funny thing....I think he DOES understand! If you could have heard the conversation over the phone. I'm moving my hands as if he could see me....very funny. It wasn't even like I could draw him a sketch. He is really good at listening and he "got it" ! frazestart, nope. I couldn't watch the video for some reason, but I did see the still photos...nope, not it. sjerin--what is it that would hurt your back? I currently keep the towels on a towel bar right inside the door now, I just don't want to screw something into the new cabinet doors. In fact, I heard the cabinetmaker cringe when I said those words to him...haha Thanks for all the help!

They have some nice iron ones on the Ballard Designs website. I don't need any, but of course I am looking for a reason to get one! There is even a turtle doorstop for Igloochic! ;) Here is a link that might be useful: doorstoppers

I did a search under "stainless magnetic hooks" and there was a page of them. This is the first one I found which is kind of nice. Here is a link that might be useful: Stainless Hook

At the very least, it will give you what you want, functionally, and you can continue to look for one that you like better with no pressure. Besides, it will be quite a while until you'll be ready for it...so tell the KD you'll buy the insert (the RAS is only around $30 on their site & probably cheaper elsewhere) and then keep looking. May_Flowers...a drawback I see to that type of towel holder is that you will be closing up an area with a wet towel and there won't be any air circulation to keep that cabinet "fresh". I would be concerned that over time it would get musty/mildewy if damp towels are constantly being stored there and b/c the cabinet is closed it will never adequately air out - both for the towel to dry and to get rid of the humid air created by the damp towel.

I think that was boschboy's kitchen. If you look closely you'll see that the butler was in fact holding a wine bottle next to the fridge in the before pictures. It was repurposed to the sink as a towel holder presumably because the new kitchen lost the very useful towel rod by the sink.

Grampydave: Thanks, though this is not the one but I can see that the wine waiter can be repurposed for a towel I guess....hmmm.
buel: Thanks dear....naah...not this one :-) that guy had a bent back bowing down with towel on the arm :-)
