Weekend DIY {Bathroom Organization}

So......I have had a lot of company over the past few weeks. It seems to be that whenever we have a lot of company my guest bathroom gets trashed! {Okay...not really but it does seem like my guests like to have towel fights.} The towels always end up all over the floor, hung over the side of the tub or even in the tub! Why am I missing all the fun in my guest bathroom!

I found a little inspiration on the web to help organize guest towels:

My thought was to find some nifty knobs that would look like art work on the wall, but also transition to towel hangers when guests arrive.

While I was in NY for the holidays we stopped at a Hobby Lobby. I had never been to one before and I think my mouth never closed the whole time I was there!(more on that later)

I found these beauties for 50% off!

So I bribed, begged asked my father-in law to help me with my DIY project! He is wonderful at wood working and I knew he would do a much better job than me!

We decided how far apart we wanted the knobs and then drilled four holes into a scrap board he had around the house.

The knobs were so long that they actually stuck out on the other side of the board.

So we decided to mark them and sawed part of the screw.

We then used a 1/2" router to hollow out the back of the board so the washer and bolt could fit inside rather than against the bathroom wall.

I gave the wood board a good sanding:

And sprayed it High Gloss White:

While the paint was drying I marked the holes in the drywall and placed plastic anchors in for support. (you know how heavy wet towels can be!)

Then the fun part...

And when the guests are in town....

Sorry Guests....No more Towel Fights for you! Organization puts a little damper on that!

I hope some of you try this fun project! It was easy and cheap! You could use these knobs in your entryway for coats, bedroom for jewelry or even in your closets for handbags and purses.
