Hooray! Finally sharing the first of many DIYs I’ve been working on for my brother’s bathroom makeover! And this DIY wood and leather towel shelf is honestly so cool! I’m sooo close to being done with everything so I can shoot the room and share the whole room reveal with you! If you’ve been following along on IG, you’ve seen peeks of the progress and also maybe noticed that I had planned to have this finished in November. Ha! But here we are – February – and I’m okay with it! Plus in all honesty that’s just how I always work on projects – I try to be better but I like to tell myself it must be something about the creative mind. Hahaha!
This simple wall shelf is perfect for a tiny bathroom like this one – it gives you some storage on top (or just a place to display some pretty things) plus towel storage! My brother had mismatched towels stacked in this corner before so I opened it up for some new plants, bought a few new matching towels and put this shelf together for him!
