I discovered towel warmers on a trip to Ireland. Wow! What a treat! Getting out of the shower to a toasty warm towel.<\/p>\n

Warmrails Towel Warmer: Toasty Warm Towels and Clothes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They just don\u2019t cost that much! And installation was 6 screws.<\/p>\n

This one is by Warmrails. There was no outlet where I wanted it, so poked a hole in the bottom of the wall and ran the cord to an outlet outside the bathroom. Yeah, really. Later, when we changed the trim around the doors, I made it look more finished. But it\u2019s still just a hole in the wall so the cord can reach the outlet on the other side of the wall.<\/p>\n

Warmrails towel warmer is made to run 24-hours a day and use less energy than a light bulb.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t leave the one in the bathroom on all the time. I just turn it on and hang my towels and whatever I\u2019m changing into over it when I need it. By the time I get out of the shower or bath, everything is toasty and warm.<\/p>\n

We liked it so much, we got a second floor standing one for the closet. We leave it on all winter. It takes the chill out of the closet \u00a0and warms my clothes if I\u2019m together enough to pick them out the night before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
