Hand Made Towel Bar

Last weekend I found a couple of goodies at some garage sales and had an idea for something else to hang in my kitchen.  If you remember I picked up this enamelware dipper and a black pie tin....

I went out to the garage, found a piece of wood and roughed it up a bit with both ends of a hammer.  I did this a couple of weeks ago on another project I did and I find that it's quite satisfying to beat the heck out of a piece of wood.  LOL!

I slapped on a coat of Honey colored stain and quickly wiped it off with a rag....

Then I attached the pie tin and dipper with screws and that was it.  I hung it up on the wall and as an after-thought I added two cup hooks so I can hang a towel and an apron from it....

Instant towel bar - What do you think?  What have you made this week?

Pie Tins and Apron Racks

Last weekend I found this great vintage Mrs. Wagner's Pies tin at an estate sale.

I didn't want to just stick it on a shelf and at first I was going to nail it up on the wall in the kitchen at the lake house, but then I had an idea...

I went out to the garage and grabbed a board from Chablis' stack of sign wood and I stained one side and the edges....

Then I grabbed a hammer and took out my aggressions on the wood.  Boy, that felt good!

I went back out to the garage and raided Louie's tool and nail boxes.  I came up with 2 red cabinet knobs and it's beyond me what he would have ever gotten them for.  I also snagged an old crappy wrench and the back of a shelf hanger.  I attached everything to the wood, including the Mrs. Wagner's Pie tin.

Then I hung it up in my kitchen and now I have someplace to hang all my kitchen aprons...

What do you think?  I kind of like it myself!  I need more aprons.....
