How To Make A Barnwood Towel Rack for Under $1

Have you ever let something go for way too long?

Something that you looked at & used everyday

and thought, next week.

Then next week turns in to next month, etc.....

Well that is the story of my boys bathroom.

I am finally tackling it & decided to take it one project at a time.

 

Naturally, I began with the easiest project first:).

Last July, while at a yard sale up my road at my

neighbors quaint cottage,

I found a long piece of barnwood.

He charged me 75 cents, incredible right?

He told me that the cottage was once an old barn

& that the piece was from the original structure.

I went home a happy girl

&

stashed it away with my other pieces for future use.

Last week I finally pulled it out from hibernation & made this....

 Would you like to make one?

You will need a piece of wood.

You can use barnwood, driftwood, or new wood.

If you use new wood & want it to look weathered,

check out this tutorial.

Also, to score a deal on new wood, go to the clearance wood or scrap bin at your local hardware store.

And you will need hooks.

Try to recycle.

Chances are, you have something in your home with hooks that you haven't used in while or that could use a little face lift.

Not that I would know anything about this:).



Pitiful, right!

For a long time I tried not to ignore this towel rack.

I would layer the boys towels right on top so I wouldn't see:).

The original plan for my NEW barnwood towel rack

called for new hardware but.....

impatient me wanted it done that day & the closest hardware store was 15 minutes away.

So.....I took a good look at this(above)

and decided to recycle the hooks.

They matched all of the bath fixtures so I thought what the hay,

it was worth a try.

Ta da- not bad for under a $1
