Back to it, creating things!

After a much needed break, I've been at it working on some little projects whilst still running a household. 

One of the things we needed in the house was a paper towel holder that was off the counter. Now most of them are usually on a wooden dowel type post that sits on the counter, but that is not conducive to our home as it takes up much needed and very limited space. Some homes have them behind the door of the cabinet but that takes up needed shelf space as you have to allow clearance for it when it closes, not to mention that its a royal pain in the butt to constantly be pulling open the door to get to them.

Under the cabinets was not a workable alternative for us as our shelves hang down fairly low and it would be blocking our view if we were cutting things or reaching for things.

SO, why not the wall then? 

Hence:

   

A wall paper towel holder that is made with camphor laurel that has some beautiful coloring through it and a flat piece to hold that paper towel upright and with enough clearance behind it to hold a HUGE roll (my partner is addicted to using paper towels for all kitchen work).

It's right above the stove (you can see in the middle picture the hanging rack of kitchen utensils) and it's next to the sink. It's not too wide or too high and it suits the kitchen layout.
