The practical person wants function; the look is unimportant.
The artistic/creative person is drawn to “the look”; function is not important.
Enter beautility. Beauty + utility.
I am a very practical person, but honestly, life is too short to live with ugly!
I think standard towel racks are ugly.
Eric made these for me and I love them. They are perfect for our very small bathroom.
These towel racks were so simple to make. He used a 1” x 6” x 6’ pine board to make two towel racks to replace the two ugly ones.
One is 33” long and
the other is 16”. He sanded both to a smooth finish. He used a white stain to achieve the white wash look. He added the clear, glass knobs. {5 knobs on the one that is 33" and 3 on the one that is 16"} He measured from the very center and worked out to the edges so that it would look right. {because the look IS important!}
He hung them on the wall with screws. For a finished look, he bought the little plugs that cover the screws....voila! Yep, He's THE MAN!
How fun!! Remembering our conversation last night when you were working on your blog... =D
