I recently noticed that the cheap towel bar in the kids' bathroom was getting loose. I grabbed my screwdriver so that I could tighten the screw on the bottom to solve this. No go. Half of the screw is missing. Therefore, it would need to be replaced soon, because it is goig to fall. I didn't want to put just another regular towel bar in there, so we began searching for ideas of what to substitute there.
We found an idea that we liked...and it was made of wood. It would be more of a towel hook or hooks than a towel bar, but it would still work. I found some materials in my dad's barn that would keep me from buying new wood. Glad I did too, because I was able to make two of them.
These are just the preliminary photos...I've still got a bit to do yet. I need to paint them and install the hooks before I put them on the wall. I just thought I would show you what I am making. One of them shows where a nail poked through on the other side. It make me have to patch it with wood filler. It's all right because I was painting. I would have been really upset if this had been a stain project.
Hopefully this weekend, I can paint a couple of coats on these and get them dry enough to put up soon.
