Here is how it came together.
The shelf is from CostPlus. I removed the original hardware, painted it white and distressed it.
The knobs are old porcelain fixtures that we found at a garage sale in West Hollywood last week. They were old and dirty when we found them. I forgot to take a before photo of these still attached to the original brass piping. Dear Handyman had to work his magic to find new piping with the right thread and make it all come together.
Now I can display some vintage treasures on the shelf as well as have the perfect place to hang towels. I sewed a piece of seam binding to the edge of the towels to allow them to hang nicely.

Awesome towel holder! I just became a new follower and I look forward to going through your archives for sure.
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of using those vintages faucet knobs. Really looks nice. I wish I had kept my late in-laws door knobs. They had them throughout the house. Too late now.
ReplyDeleteI like that idea
ReplyDeleteI wish I could find knobs like that! I have a few accessories in my bathroom with them and so want to find some old real ones.
