I'd like to install some directly on the door, though I don't know how well it would work since the doors are usually hollow. Also, I've seen suction cup hooks that may be useful if I can find some that aren't too tacky<br /><br />Warning:Our towel racks are the dirt cheap square ones like you get for $5 at walmart, and the TP holders have white plastic cross pieces. I think this is fairly unique to our area since every picture I've seen on the blogs looks a lot better, but double check what you're getting if that would bother you.

I plan on doing one on each side of the vanity as well. I've seen some on Pinterest that look really pretty. I think two hooks by the door to the closet would work well for the shower- maybe stacked? I guess it depends on what side your door opens from and how much room is there. I don't know. I have to look at it again. I am glad you brought this up.

We used towel hooks to hold washcloths near the vanity, similar to this: http://www.faucetdepot.com/prod/Moen-YB2886ORB-Creative-Specialties-Eva-Towel-Ring---Oil-Rubbed-Bronze-17198.asp. I plan to get these again as we really liked having them right next to the vanity. As for the towels, I plan to install a robe hook on the wall between the shower and bathroom door to put a towel while showering. The rest of the time, they will remain on the towel bar. Currently, we have a small tower stand on our vanity that holds our washcloths.
