Shower Rack

Day 208: Shower Rack

I remember this item, vaguely, but I was surprised to see it at the back of the bathroom cupboard yesterday when I was scouting around, looking for toilet paper. It's another example of how stuff begets stuff.

Stuff requires storage.

In our last house, the 1920's bathtub had a small built-in shelf, just large enough for a cake of soap and a bottle of shampoo. Such modest storage is inadequate for razors, shaving cream, conditioner, facial wash, my shampoo (for fine hair), his shampoo (for thick hair), and... and...

You get the idea.

This little shelf wasn't up to the task, either. The suction cups don't really work, so the shelf was constantly falling off the wall and spilling the beauty products. I can see now that it wasn't built to last eighty years. It's already a bit rusted. Still, maybe somebody else with a 1927 house and too many products will give it a try. It's clean, cheap and ready.
