    I went to a thrift store a few days ago and got what I have been eyeballing for a few months. It is a slanted towel rack with 2 shelves and 3 rungs and the top has rubber on the back to protect the wall. It was $45, then $35 but I just couldnt pay that much. I went to see if it was still there and it was marked down to $5.00!!!! Whoo Hoo! Its not going into my bathroom, I am going to paint it black and display my quilts on it. I dont think it has ever been used, it still had original tags on the side. The two white spots you see are the thrift store tags that I havent taken off yet. The first pic has a bench I got it for $6.00. It will get a coat of paint also and Im on the lookout for something to replace the ugly material that is on there. A nice embroidered piece is what Id really like to get. Ill post a pic of it after I paint it...if it ever stops raining that is!! And please excuse the wall..I rent..so it stays.

    Great finds!!!! Love the bench. I bought a similar one on ebay (paid more than you!) I have to have it repaired since it was damaged in shipping (it was damaged before but shipping made it worse)
