I wanted my bathroom to have a vintage feel.

I built the clock out of plywood, and I added old door knobs to hang the towels on.

I cut out a fancy frame (plywood and jigsaw) to attach to my boring medicine cabinet.

Love the door knobs. Great idea. I have saved some doorknobs that I found at architectural salvage places for just this type of use. There are also tons of other things you can find at these types of places...old doors, windows, moulding and other trims, etc. I recently found a pair of old louvered doors that I am going to paint and hang outside on either side of my patio doors - reminiscent of what I have seen in Italy. I got the doors for $15.00. The cost of the paint and the hanging hardware is negligent.

Love your website :), and where did you get the door knobs? from an old house? store? and if so a store, what's the name of it?....

Very cute idea for a modern home! I wonder if I could do the opposite and use new door knobs in my 82 year old home? hehe...

Thanks everyone! I live in a 1938 home so these door knobs are original to my home. But I see them all the time at antique stores.

How do you attach the door knobs to the wall?

I explain it on my blog here:http://www.notjustahousewife.net/2011/09/the-how-tos-of-my-bathroom.html
But I am sure there are other ways as well.

This is a good example of how to play into the age of your house instead of trying to make it into something it is not. Vintage is not bad if people do not let it get dingy!

Do the doorknobs make rust marks on your towels or are they coated with something? LOVE this idea!

I think Jeanette said it perfectly. . . don't try to make it something it is not. Rather, CELEBRATE what it IS. . . and that is nothing less than charming.

Love this! The clock face and the door knobs below that include the face place - genius! It would be really easy to turn the faux clock into a working clock. A clock mechanism from the craft store is inexpensive and it would take up very little space inside the cabinet. And who couldn't use a clock in the bathroom?!?

I love the old medicine cabinet from your dad. I hope you don't "doctor" it up.
