I made this towel holder for three reasons.  First is because my ugly, plain jane one fell out of the wall (I’m sure my monkeys were hanging on the towels). Second, I could not find but one stud in the wall and it was not centered where I needed it. Third, I needed art on the wall as well (needed to jazz things up).  As you can see, I killed three birds with one stone.  Yay for me!

I had purchased the towel rings some time ago but had the problem of no studs.  Additionally, I had extra wood from when I ripped out our entertainment center.  To complete this project I did have to hit good ol’ HomeGoods (man I love that place).  First I mounted the  towel rings (I believe inside out, but I liked it that way  and all my stuff could fit on the wood).   Next, I screwed the whole piece into the only central stud (note that it was screwed plum center on the wood, but that doesn’t matter because you won’t see the screws).  Finally, I measured the distance as to where I needed to hammer nails into the wood to hang the art piece.  What’s really cool about this project is that you could put a cute sepia photo of the kids, a neat weaving, driftwood, ….. whatever you want in place of the wood block art I used.
