My husband is to thank for this one.
Our dilemma was that we needed a wider and longer shower bar to hang over our Claw foot Bath Tub.
The one that comes with the faucet kit at the Depot isn't quite big enough and it makes the shower curtain cling to your body.

We have been working on a few remodeling projects lately.
We split on room into two seperate rooms by knocking down a closet wall.
That left my little one with a make shift closet for a couple months.
She is so happy now, her closet is finished!
My husband used a wooden dowel rod supported by two metal brackets for the poles.
and recycled wood for the closet shelves.

Frankly, I was disturbed.
You may be asking, "Why is she making such a big deal about a commercial? "
As a Christian Parent, I like to monitor what my children are exposed to.
I am so glad that my 5 year old did not see this commercial.
I guess it was directed by Rob Zombie. I kept thinking to myself, did I just see that ?
