- Towel Bar- I like this idea of a towel bar. I live with 5 other people and some of them are always just using the hand towel, bunching it up and tossing it aside so that it never drys. I think a smaller version of this would be perfect for our bathroom! Sign- I have always thought that plaques and posters with cute sayings on them were always nice to look at. I love that idea of writing what you want on a sign for everyone to see and read. It tells a little about the kind of person you are. Table Art- I thought this was a really cool idea. Using a card table as wall art, I never would have thought of it and when I looked at the picture it looks completely natural. It doesn't even look like a table at all even. I really like it because it looks really nice and simple and I like simple things the best.
I like Goodwill as well, you can really find some hidden treasures there. I'll have to go and check out Ingvald's Custom Builds, that sounds interesting. I also, like that towel bar idea, very cool. You could put that in your kitchen or bathroom.
ReplyDeleteI also like the towel bar creation. You could go searching for items at Goodwill that you could use as a towel rack, if you don't already have something that you could use at home!
