Wax

Awesome!!
Adding my Pantry sign so no one gets confused. 


DIY Bathroom Towel Holder



When I purchased these wire nesting baskets at TJ MAXX I was unsure of the plan. 
Two days later I thought of this board I bought at Michaels several months ago. 
I propped the baskets up to the board and saw that they would fit!!


Next I painted the boards with some left over paint I had. This is Annie Sloan Duck Egg. 






We used U shaped nails to attach the baskets. 

Placed it on the wall in bathroom. 
And decorated. 
I love it!!



Quick Project.
