Old West Style Toilet Paper Holder

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

metal toilet paper holderA plain old spring-loaded plastic bar toilet paper holder might not look that impressive in the bathroom of your new log home (ok, those T.P. holders don’t look that impressive anywhere), so you might want to shop for something that is more fitting of the log theme.

Perhaps a western style toilet paper holder?

This piece is hand-crafted by a member of the Etsy community. “This is a western style decor toilet paper holder. It holds a roll of toilet paper perfectly. Built from 1/2″ strap steel welded to a horseshoe and painted black. I built one for my bathroom it looks real good and works like a champ.”

You can find other handmade metal pieces of home decor at the shop too:

A Glass Sink Can Work in a Log Home

Friday, July 6th, 2007

glass sink for a rustic homeIf you like the idea of a beautiful hand-blown glass sink in your bathroom, but think it won’t fit in with the rustic feel of a log home, think again. This blue (excuse me: cobalt) glass vessel sink looks wonderful on its rustic wooden stand. It’d work wonderfully in a log cabin or log home.

It’s just one of several glass sinks available Art Glass Sinks, where all the pieces are hand blown and made to order. The prices aren’t listed on the website, but you can doubtlessly expect to pay a little more than you would for a plain white porcelain model from Home Depot. Still, this is something that you’ll be pleased to see every time you enter the bathroom.
