I am glad this got asked and looking forward to the answers!! Weedyacres, my guess is that the "drying" towel is hung over the towel bar spread out, while the dry towel is neatly folded in thirds lengthwise and then hung over the bar. In our new bath I am having the same frustration. I want it always to look neat. But, if you fold your wet towel up nicely, it's not going to dry, of course. The wet ones, hung on the bar, also take up like 20", so you can't hang two towels, or a towel and hand towel, on a 24" towel bar, like they're seemingly intended for. neatly folded towel on towel bar. Obviously a dry towel! Here are two neatly folded towels on a bar. When one is wet, what do you do with it? Unfolded, it takes up the whole bar, so where would the other one go??? There HAS to be an answer to this I am missing....

flstella, I don't remember the name of the mounting hardware but we bought it at Sam's and it has an integrated leveler. It swivels side to side, up and down and extends. The TV is a 26" Samsung We have Directv and yes, there is a cable line coming out of the wall behind the TV. This was a DIY and we live out in the country...no code. The faucet is Jado brand. About the TV. It's no longer there :( Before putting a LCD TV in my bathroom (against DH's wishes), I researched it and found many many people had done the same thing (with no problems). I've seen many of them in Parade/Open homes. I have one of the best home ventilation/exhaust fans you can buy (Panasonic Whisper Warm). First, I felt really guilty for the over indulgence. I didn't watch it that much and the guilt for insisting DH go to the trouble to install it on top of the "excess & vanity" was eating away at me :( Then the remote stopped working. Changed the batteries, called Samsung and they sent out a new remote. Still didn't work. The TV worked but the remote function stopped working. I can't be 100% sure it was a direct result of the steam from my air tub. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. I returned the TV to Amazon. Felt like I'd be remiss if I didn't mention this. Monica

As others have said, that's pretty much where those things are put in tight hotel bathrooms. Anyone grossed out should just remember to put the toilet lid down before they flush. And unless your bathroom is the size of a bedroom, contaminants fly high and wide, so really, putting the towels either a few feet away or even more doesn't accomplish much of anything. (The only solution is to buy your own personal plastic sealing system and seal all your towels in plastic the moment you take them out of the dryer!) A ? to the OP: Why do you want to muddy up the look of the room, with the beautiful lighting, mirror and vanity, by adding a commercial-looking hotel rack? I've seen them in bathrooms before, but it really just looks hard against the wood tones you have. Why not consider two or three thick shelves, with nice "meaty" decorative brackets, all in a wood tone the same as the mirror? For what it's worth, I keep just 2 bath towels, a hand towel and a washcloth in the guest bath. If my guest wants more, he/she can find them in either the dresser or closet in the guestroom (there are also extra blankets and spare sheets there, where the guest can access them). I don't keep any towels in any of my vanity cabinets; that's where cleaning supplies (and the room freshener) and extra TP and such go.

I think we're going to have to have an electrician come in and rewire the house or something. The bathroom, the two fan lights in the kitchen, and the lights in the main room in the basement go out all the time. Doesn't matter what kind of bulbs we put in there, they burn out. Yet the light over the sink is on pretty much 24/7 and it's been replaced like once in 16 years. For the last long while, we quit buying the "good" bulbs b/c if we get three months out of them, that's a good length of time for us, but the cost is outlandish to replace that often for bulbs that rarely are used. The cabinet door goes to shelving in the hall. If we didn't have the shelving, we'd lose quite a bit of storage, so we can't take the shelves out to put a hamper in there.
