WALL MOUNTED RACK FARMHOUSE FIND

Wall mounted paper towel rack
This is kind of a neat find the other day.  It's a wall mounted basket/towel rack.  I think it's for a roll of paper towels since the round rod on the bottom is removable.  Then I guess the top is a basket for more storage of some sort?

It was only $3 when I found it, so I bought it first and will think about it later, ha.  Kitchen?  Maybe the mudroom?  Heck, we could even put a roll of foil or plastic wrap on it and hang it on the JULIA WALL.

If we don't put it there though, I'm thinking that perhaps it might be time to break out the red paint again!

  2. 1st Man,

    This would be great for your any room. I think if I was going to use it, I would put it in my kitchen and place my hot pads in the basket(top) and my aprons on the rod with a hook (kind of like you would do with hanging pots).

  3. Or, magazine rack / toilet paper holder in the bathroom.

    Kitchen, dish towels on the rod, ???? in the basket.

  5. I was going to write what Tombstone said about the bathroom.

    Oh, and if you hang it on the Julia Wall paint it yellow, like your pans, ::grin:: - I showed Pooldad your wall and he loves it as much as I do. I have a solemn promise to have one too when we move. Squuuueeee! Thank you for sharing. YAY!

    1. I wish our TIIIIINY bathroom had the wall space for that, ha.

  7. Depending on how large the spaces are, I thought possibly for boxes like plastic wrap, aluminum foil, perhaps even plastic baggies?
    It's a neat find for sure!

  8. You find the neatest things. My thrift storeS (yes plural) have only stuff I never need or want. How often do you go thrifting?

    1. Living in Houston, we have quite a few and there are about 5 within lunchtime driving distance from work. So i try to hit a couple each week. Sometimes I do find something, but others I walk out with nothing. It is fun though huh? :-)

  10. I love thrift stores and that little rack. I would use that rack for hanging a dish towel on the bar.

  11. Definitely paint it red! Maybe the basket part could hold a favorite cookbook? I like Sandy's ideal about the aprons! Great find as usual. :-)
