I mentioned in a previous post that I have a lot of towels (for a lot of people) and no linen closet. I’ve been wondering about what to do for awhile. I used to have a wicker laundry basket beside the tub with towels in it. But it blocked the heater/air conditining vent and didn’t hold enough towels. Then I saw these cute wall cubes at Martha Stewart and though, “I can do that!” But mine ended up with nails sticking out all over.
And then I saw this Lettered Cottage Post where they found a shabby wooden window box and brought it indoors for towel storage. It was super cute and fit in nicely with our new master bedroom theme which we plan to redo around our favorite vacation spot (The Bahamas.) Only wooden window boxes aren’t easily found around here. Then I thought I would build one out of the parts of our deck that are falling off. But the last time I built something from wood… Anyway, it was very demotivating.
Then one day I was at Big Lots with my 2 girls just wasting time. And we found some wire window boxes for just $10 each. I’d been around the internet looking a window boxes enough to know that it was a steal, so I grabbed 2. I used some thingies from the plumbing department at Home Depot with some sheet rock screws to hang them. And Voila!
I think I may paint them white. And I need to wash some towels now that I have a place to put them. I can store 10 towels off the floor and in perfect reach of the tub. And the best part is since the window boxes were made to use outdoors a little moisture won’t bother them.
I also have the peat moss liners left over. I almost threw them away, but Heidi stopped me. I’m so glad she did. I’ve got a project in mind for now….maybe for my front door? It is front porch zone week over at Fly Lady. :).
