At any second hand store you will find the most amazing collection of paper towel holders. Made of metal, plastic, wood, in every shape, color and decorative theme possible. I have been trying to imagine why there are so many used paper towel holders - I guess you only find one in your typical kitchen, and they don't really wear out. So, when they end up at stores they stay. The selection at my local second hand store includes the metal-stand-up kind, the attached-to-the-wall-wood kind and the shouldn't-be-owned-by-anyone-but-a-eighty-year-old-woman kind. So, if you are in need of a paper towel holder you will can get your fill.
I, myself am not a huge fan of paper towels (note the whole reduce, reuse, recycle theme) but I decided that I shouldn't critic items such as paper towels until I have children - I can imagine they may take on a saint-like status when food starts flying through the air.
This is true about paper towels; you use many more of them after having children. You will also need a dog, otherwise known as a canine vaccuum. The Brits call paper towels kitchen roll, which sounds much cooler, especially with a Brittish accent.
ReplyDeleteI don't have enough counter space or wall space for a paper towel holder right now, so they sit ever so conveniently ;-P on top of the fridge. I don't really use them either. I think they are my roommates'. But if I ever have need for a holder, I know where I'll buy it. :)
ReplyDeleteVacuums and dogs are a blessing to clean-up after meal time with children :-)
