Handmade wooden shelf unit.

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Sep 12, 2013Carolyn, be sure that the humidity will not cause the wood to check and crack. You may want to consider putting a poly seal on the unit and let it dry for several days before using it in a humid environment. Moisture can cause all sorts of havoc on wood and joinery. And if this has any real value you may want to reconsider using it in a damp location such as a bathroom.Helpful Reply

Grandma's House on Sep 14, 2013I might paint it white... a satin not flat or gloss...and paint the shelves brown. Just the shelf not the entire insides.Helpful Reply

Darlene on Sep 14, 2013If the stained wood piece is really pretty, would you consider painting your walls a light color and then it would be the "star" of the bathroom decor? White linens on a pretty maple piece could be really attractive if the wood doesn't just disappear into the wallsHelpful Reply

Carolyn Cogburn on Sep 14, 2013Thank you for the suggestions. @Woodbridge Env, I have already poly sealed it just to make sure it's protected. We also have an exhaust fan that controls humidity really well. @Grandma's House, guess I forgot to mention it's just shelves and spindles with no backing and I really want to leave it as close to original as possible. It's a beautiful color. @ Darlene, I have considered doing some kind of painting technique in a latte color over the brown to make the walls lighter. The white linens really are pretty. I have some towels and washcloths folded on the shelves and some rolled and in baskets. I'm thinking some white ceramic pieces for accessories, or natural elements??Helpful Reply

Darlene on Sep 15, 2013The latte color would be great with the white linens on the dark shelves. And I agree with the white ceramic pieces for the accessories. If you have room on the shelves, maybe the natural elements in a small white vase?Helpful Reply
