Cabinets For Bathroom Towel Storage

Published on May 14th, 2020.

One of the secrets of enjoying a soak in the tub with complete satisfaction is to finish off by being able to wrap oneself in a warm dry luxurious 100% cotton towel. But what if you have forgotten to leave a towel within reach or that is cold and damp? That’s the next secret, to have replacement towels waiting in the wings to be used. This is why bathroom linen cabinets are so useful, desirable and ultimately welcome.

While the traditional linen cabinet may have been intended for bed linen, towels also come under the “umbrella” of linen in the modern age. However, if you have just got out of the tub to find no dry towel available, what is the point of having replacements stored down the hallway when you are dripping wet already? You need the towels at point of use; in other words, a purpose designed bathroom cabinet for towels.

A linen cabinet for the bathroom can look much like any other linen cabinet. They are mostly made of wood, but you need to be sure you choose a cabinet made from a type of wood that will tolerate the damp and humid conditions. Not all woods or grades of wood composite are suitable for bathroom use. Some of the tough composite woods are warp free, but the lesser types are not. Generally speaking, hardwoods are better than softwoods, which will be inclined to absorb moisture to the detriment of the linen cabinet. Bamboo and teak are examples of hardwoods that stand up well to bathroom use.

If you do not want a separate bathroom linen cabinet for towels, other bathroom storage units can be utilized to store towels. One is the sink vanity, although a single sink vanity will probably have less storage space available than a double sink vanity. One other possibility is the use of an over toilet space saver with a cabinet, which you can use for towels as well as other bathroom items. Ultimately, it does not really matter if the cabinet or purpose made for towels or not. What matters is that you always have towels ready for use as you step out of the tub.

Countertop or vanity for vessel sinks?

Published on August 26th, 2010.

I posted this yesterday but didn’t get very many replies, so I’m trying again.

It’s going to be quite a while yet, but I’m doing some preliminary planning to eventually build our own house. Hubby’s not being very helpful in all this, so I want to show him actual examples of what I’m talking about so I can get his opinion.

Sooo… right now I’m focusing on the master bathroom.

I want the master bath to be a spa type of area.

When you enter, the first thing you’ll notice is the wonderful tub at the other end of the room. When you walk in, on either side should be a sink. I’m one of those people who likes sleek, simple, and modern. Very contemporary. I have just fallen in love with vessel sinks.

Here’s the problem, everything I’ve seen has either the sink suspended somehow with no storage whatsoever below it or on the tiniest of vanities. All the ones that have more space, have two sinks on them.

I don’t want a sink with barely enough room on the vanity to place things like my hairbrush on, and I most definitely don’t want one that I can’t place anything on. There needs to be things like drawers for storage.

The only thing I can think of is to have it all custom made. And that means running up the price.

I’ve spent two weeks trying to find examples of what I’m looking for and can’t find it anywhere.

Suggestions?

Oh, and if it helps, I want for the toilet to be in its own private room, the shower to have two shower heads without a door, a built in massage table (I’m quite good at it, but find it very frustrating to have to use a bed or the floor. I haven’t been officially trained, but I do know how and have been told many times that I should get my license. I just don’t want to do it for a living), and a door opening into a private garden area. I’d also love to have a heated floor and towel warmers, though I think since the room is already going to be very expensive, those two will be out.

I’m not much for "ornate". I want a modern bathroom and "ornate" is much more than I’d like.

Thanks pissy. I really like the first countertop/sinks with the seconds vanity/drawers.

I have a homeless women staying at my house, now she thinks she has a right to stay here, does she?

Published on June 26th, 2010.

Do I have legal right to kick her out? I have been for the past 10 days, trying to help her find work and a place to stay, but she seems to be doing everything she can, to NOT cooperate.

While she was here she didn’t do anything for me or herself including bathing, which I have offered her several times to take, but she tells me she goes to the Senior Centers gym and takes a shower there, but when she uses my bathroom she leave my bathroom muddy and filthy (incompetence I would say) and the towels I lent her are covered in mud, which tells me is doesn’t bathe.

I have asked her to go and get food for herself at her usual soup kitchen locations and provide food for herself, but she seems to lazy to do this also, which I see as bizarre. Why wouldn’t anyone want to get something to eat (or bathe for that fact, when offered it)?

I told her that I am not going to provide her with food everyday and that she must go out and acquire food for herself everyday. But she wants to hang around the house and not help me out (also), and do this.

When I offer her food she wolfs it down. It disappears faster then lightening! (No lie! I have never seen anyone eat so fast in my life, it is undetectable!!) This tells me she is not going to those places I told her too and is lying about going there during the day.

And when I ask her to leave for the day, (I earlier wrote her a list of things I wanted her to do during the day to help herself and houserules), which she is reluctant to do and gets testy when I ask her to leave for the day and makes a big fuss about it. (She is a 55 years old women.)

I have written resumes for her and placed many ads on the Internet, promoting her job experience etc for her. She says she has Nanny and Housekeeping and Care Providing experience, so she says, ( I have no children and have no need of her services myself, but lending charity to her.)

Now she thinks she can stay in my house. When I ask her about if she has an ID or about acquiring one, she gets all mad and starts getting wired on me. I tell her she must provide this because, (from my point of view) no one will probably hirer her.

She just now has received an inquiry for a live in Nanny position which was posted on Care.com (thank you very much), and I told her that she was to contact the lady about it, in early in the morning and set up an appointment with her, but she lallygags around the house and deliberately stayed up late, after I asked her to go to bed early (11 pm) so she can be prepared in the morning.
Well she stay up late (1 am) and slept in deliberately, as she did other times, when she was told by me to leave by 7:30 am until 6 or 7 pm when I get back in the evening, and she doesn’t (didn’t) want to leave my house.

Prior to this I wrote down house rules about things I wanted, (or didn’t want) her to do while staying here, like get food for herself everyday at 7:30 am, (There is soup kitchen around the corner where I live that provides free meals at this time and another at 4 pm), and that she is to particapate in and be an active part in acquiring employment for herself, etc. She is totally uncooperative and compliant.

Then she is asking me personal questions, out of jurisdiction, I believe so she can feel she can use it somehow as a weapon.

I told her last night that in the morning, she is to go early to her storage facility that she has and get her clothing to prepare for this interview. She was totally reluctant to leave, and stayed here until 10 am and do this. (It takes her 5 hours to do this, because she wont take the bus, even when I give her bus fare, she walks several miles to the location).

I then asked her to return by 3 pm, but she said she wouldn’t be back until later tonight, to be here to answer the call (interview). Angry, I told her she cant stay here anymore because of her lack of cooperation in helping herself get off the streets, and I told her again she is not staying here anymore because of this, but she thinks she has a right to stay.

We (I) are now waiting for a return phone call from this lady, and she very may offer her this live in position, and I don’t want to create the very circumstances she is trying to create for herself, (homelessness) because I believe she is lazy or maybe even crazy. I am mad. What do I do? (Sorry this was so long.)

I believe she thinks just because she is (deliberately) coming back here late, she has a right to stay here, but I don’t believe so.

Are there laws that protect her?
I live in Las Vegas, Nevada.

I think you are crazy and think you need to be institutionalized!

I think YOUR jealous!
I’ll bet your a cop! The very same cops I have been reporting, are stalking, harassing, and assassinating and slandering me, and trying to under mind my credibility, and other things, too long to list here. And know, I have placed a law suit against you!

need help its getting out of control?

Published on May 24th, 2010.

I have been at my job for 7 months now and I love my job and everything that I do but, I have had a problem with the ONLY 2 employees that work in the office with me, they make it so obvious that they are having an affair. Both of them are married and his wife is even is friends with her! It really makes me uncomfortable and they have increasingly made all of this more obvious. The man in this affair and is my direct boss and her direct boss. Because of the affair she has free rein and can make any and all of the decisions. She goes and gets her hair and nails done during the day, can come in and out as she pleases and I just don’t see how this is fair to me when I feel like I work so hard but will never even get recognized because I am not sleeping with him.
It all became obvious to me when I noticed how well they knew each other and could tell me things that you normally wouldn’t hear coworkers knowing about each other such as, He (her talking about the boss) claims to have the softest lips ever and swears it’s because he doesn’t wear chap stick. One day the boss man asked the other woman if she would help him find a file upstairs in the storage. So they went out and closed the door and disappeared for 10mins returned with nothing in hand and she went straight to the bathroom. Next I walked by her office and glanced over to see him massaging her shoulders. He is always in her office and it doesn’t sound like they are talking sometime whispers. Another time I walked to my desk on a Monday morning and didn’t notice anything until she walked in the door (an Hour late) and asked what was on my wall. When I looked around there were two shoe prints. My legs are not long enough to touch the wall when sitting on my desk my feet are only a couple of inches from touching the wall. (She is way taller than I am) The fact that I didn’t notice but she did the sec. she walked in make me wonder. Today, to make a long story short, they began flirting while talking about something that I was going to purchase for the office. While in conversation with me they began talking about (exact words) “ (her)flavored paper towels, (him) a thing that slides into the other thing to make it work, (her) he can pin on the wall” , more was said it’s just too much to say.

Basically I just want to know what I can do to get this to stop. I do work for a big company (nationwide) but I know that we don’t have one person to go to for Ethics Issues. Also both of them have been there a while and I am the newbie and the fact that I am in a different “field” of the company. So they know everyone better than me and I don’t want to try to talk to someone at corporate that likes them and will tell them.

PLEASE HELP ME! I don’t know how to go about this and it is really affecting me.

Nesting…..anybody else doing the same to prepare for the baby?

Published on May 21st, 2010.

Hello there all!

I’m 25 Weeks pregnant today and in the next couple of days I’m doing a MASSIVE clean out of the house so that everything has its place, and everything is ready for when Bub is here.

It’s called nesting I hear!

Cleaning out clothes I no longer want, giving away books I no longer want as my sister gave me two boxes of them that sit around, cleaning out the bathroom, all the products we’re not even using, throwing a whole lot of sheets, towels, pillows etc that we’re not using etc. (Giving to needy rather than throwing away though)

Also as the baby furniture has been added to the house, other stuff originally in its place is to go to the mother-in-laws to store in her garage as they have no other place to fit here and they’re just piled in the spare room. I’ve also ordered a filing cabinet so i can organise and file everything for the new business we’ve started this year.

Doing all this will free up space in the cupboards, wardrobes and storage cupboards for other things and for the more stuff we’re bound to collect after Bub is born!

Is anybody else feeling the urge to totally spring clean your house like that?

Constant Criticism – how to handle ?

Published on May 21st, 2010.

One-year ago my BF moved into house I aleady owned.

House was a little cluttered as I had not fully moved in myself and had lots of boxes not yet unpacked in the garage and a spare bedroom. In addition I had not fully furnished place yet and am still lacking some storage to put away all my stuff.

He is constantly aggravated and critical about how "messy" I am and just wants me to get rid of my "stuff". I keep the place presentable but sometimes get behind on housework (like putting all the laundry away) because I am also working on projects. (Cleaning out garage, building IKEA furniture to improve storage situation etc). He claims he can not help me do anything because "i won’t let him throw anything away".

When he does help me clean he will say "where did you get this ugly painting — you don’t want to keep this do you". Often these will be things that I love and carefully picked out for my home! I usually agree to sell or get rid of, but once in awhile I really like something and defend it and he goes crazy (for example I had a frosted-glass oval platter that I often used to hold appetizers for parties — he hated it and it was completely inocuous — not flowered or anything!)

I work full-time, have the responsibility of being the "breadwinner", and just had a baby 7 weeks ago. I feel like I am stretched to the limit and need to be cleaning 24/7 to please him. I need some downtime on the weekends too…..

When he nags me about the garage, I point out that I least I keep on top of the dishes and laudry and then he says to let him do the laundry and dishes so I can FINALLY get the garage done. Problem is he does not then do those things – I would have to ask him "can you do the dishes so I can work on the garage". He wants me just to throw away everything in boxes since "I have not used it this year". Well I have camping equipment, sentimental items etc in boxes so I want to sort them out etc…. (this is why I must clean because he said he would just toss all my "junk").

So I spend two full days on the garage and get it clean giving much of my stuff to the goodwill in the process, and all I hear is why aren’t the towels clean, why did you leave these books on the table etc….

I feel like I’m in continual "what have you done lately" land. I always admit I’m not the neatest person, but If I point out areas of improvement i.e. keeping up with dishes he says "what do you want a gold medal?".

Why can’t he accept that this is an ongoing project instead of nagging me weekly? When he keeps saying "this place is a mess" it makes me feel horrible because I am doing the best that I can and don’t feel that he needs to keep reminding me since I have acknowledged the mess and I always making effort to improve.

I should also point out that he leaves his shoes everywhere, magazines on bathroom floor, dirty glasses around the house, jackets on backs of chairs etc. But if I ever defend myself by pointing out his flaws he says "yes but at least I am TRYING to be neat". As though I am trying "not to be neat"???

He actually said "i don’t know why you don’t want to be organized".

Blunt: Thanks for the totally nasty response and Congrats on your totally anal-retentive OCD life. When you are dead I am sure people will comment on your spotless home. And if you have a slow death I am sure you will regret all the hours not spent cleaning. Anyway. I have worked hard my whole life. Put myself through college working full time and now have a job that eats 12 hours of my life each day but pays the mortgage and bought me a little convertible that I like to drive on my downtime. Prior to BF one weekend day would be for fun and one for work. Now he wants me to spend my weekends working? He has job, but it is my income that supports us (3x his salary). And he is OCD. I am not a compulsive hoarder, I just have not been able to fully unpack given, my job, being pregnant, and wanting to travel some before the baby was born. Going to Europe and Hawaii has enriched my life more than sparkling faucets ever will. My house is clean, but I am not in a cleanliness competition.
