For us moms, nap-time is a sacred time of day. It is the only calm moment we have to take a breath from what the day has thrown at us. To actually drink warm coffee, catch up on laundry and tidy up, or maybe even shower. Even if you work from home you may feel the same way. But some days, boredom sets in and you suddenly find yourself wanting to change something random about your home. “I really want to paint a wall!” “I want my home to feel more me” “I want to move my furniture around” Sound familiar? Well this is something that I find myself doing a lot, especially being an interior designer and working out of my home and seeing the same space day-in-and-day-out. You just realize the things that you want to change. So I decided, what is stopping me??
Well, my first nap-time DIY-sesh was to replace my construction grade shiny towel rod with 3 brushed chrome hooks. It was very simple, and only took 2 hours from start to finish.
the view after the towel rod is taken off drill into the metal wall plates until you hear one part fall into the wall and the face plate piece comes off. Caulk the holes. Let dry and sand down Tools you need: Needle nose Pliers, a Drill with a drillbit set, an eyeglass screwdriver, caulk, a tape measure, and painters tape. Along with the hooks you have chosen to replace your towel rod Use your tape and measuring tape to figure out how much space you want between each hook and use the painters tape to make marks for the holes and use as a template. Finished product!
