Once upon a time...I found these loverly white ceramic bathroom hooks. They did not come with the original 1960's hardware. I had no luck finding the hardware after a couple days of searching. I loved these hooks. I would not give up. Now what?
This shape looked familiar.
Maybe I could take the hook out,...
...and saw the 'nubs' off.
Yes, it was a snug fit. Now, the only problem was the distance from the modified 3M hook and the wall.
What sticks better to tape than tape itself? So, I stacked 6 strips on top of each other.
And voila!
The hook is sturdily in place and I didn't even have to put holes in my tile.
And I lived happily ever after. The End.

You are the new pioneer woman. If your axle ever broke on the Oregon Trail...you'd be just fine. No oxen would die. But I can't guarnatee you won't get Scarlett Fever. Sorry.
I love that such a small task (some may call challenge) gives you such great joy and pleasure. I love that you get so much satisfaction by such a small thing. And I love that you pay that closely to the details.
