Fixing a Shameful Secret

When we moved into the Hayley House over a year ago, we acquired a master bathroom without any fixtures for hanging our towels.

No problem. We're cheap creative people:

That's right - we hung our towels in the bathroom closet. It worked. And, more importantly, it was free.

But I didn't want closet rod/pseudo-towel rod forever, so I bought a hotel-style towel rack (not this one, but similar). However, when I installed it, I couldn't get it to stay flush against the wall.

I was so frustrated that I called in the Big Guns: the architects from my office.

They weren't able to make it work, either. The towel rack simply wasn't meant to be in the Hayley House.

So I took it back, bought a double towel rod and brought it home to install it.

Instead, the towel rod sat in the master bathroom closet for over a year. Along with our towels.

{Embarrassing.}

Fast forward one year: I wasn't about to host another party without hanging the towel rod. The weekend before the Hayley Party (what better time?), I pulled out the drill (which was also sitting in the closet) and got to business. This time, success!! Towel rod, and towels, came out of the closet:

I was so proud.

Then I came home 28 hours later from a quick business trip to D.C. to discover:

I guess someone's towel wasn't ready to make the move.
