  • Pallet board towel holder.
  • Scrap pieces of pallet boards.
  • Glass door knobs
  • I put the boards together in a staggered pattern.  Drilled holes for the bolts and then aged the wood even more with a homemade wood stain.
  • Spray painted the bolts and hardware on the door knob to match.
  • I used metal stencils for the towel sign.
  • My little helper Boo Boo checking out the progress.
