Hangin' with my towel






For me, good meals are not defined by ingredients used but by the number of hand towels involved in the preparation. I use a bunch! 

But I never seem to have one when I'm working at my butcher block. So I decided to add a towel hanger to its side.




I wanted to use an old rolling pin but didn't have a clue how to hang it. So I went through my garage sale curtain rod supply box. 

There were the usual ugly ones that could work...but like I said, they were UGLY!
 

There was a way-too-fancy one. Not in MY house!




But then, like Goldilocks found, there was one that was just right! 




Four screws and I was ready to hang with my towel!




Another touch of red for my kitchen. And it was SO easy! 




Where do you hang YOUR towel?

  1. Wow! How creative and perfect. I've never seen anything like it. When I clicked on the link, I thought I would find a new way for storing a rolling pin, but this is so much more interesting.

  4. Dang we're alike! I use lots of kitchen towels when I cook, too, but we are decidedly NOT alike with regard to the final outcome of our culinary efforts. Can you believe I saw the rolling pin towel rack on Pinterest recently?
    Proof that 'great minds think alike'.

  7. This is a fantastic idea!! I just sold a vintage rolling pin at my last yard sale so of course, I'm kicking myself now! Might have to go find another...

    1. The fittings for the rolling pin are the hardware off of a curtain rod no longer in use. Don't know if they sell them separately. Found mine at a garage sale. Hope you find some!
