Farmhouse Bathroom Picket Fence Towel Hooks Shelf
If you can use a cordless screwdriver, you can make this farmhouse style shelf with towel hooks. It’s SO easy!
If you’ve been visiting my blog for very long, you know I love soaking in my bathtub. Nearly every single post I’ve written, has been written while soaking in the tub, so I did a little rearranging and made a picket fence shelf for my bathroom that’s just my farmhouse style!
Supplies Used:
Gothic fence pickets (I bought five of them.)
1″ x 8″ pine board (These come in various lengths. Mine was a four-ft. board.)
8 x 1″ Lath screws
Cordless drill and screw driver bits
Cast iron shelf brackets
How to Make a Farmhouse Bathroom Picket Fence Towel Hooks Shelf
- Cut the fence pickets to your desired height. (Your home improvement center should cut them at no charge.) I had mine cut 22″ long and saved the piece that was cut off for the next step.
- Have the cut off parts cut again as attachment boards for the back. I had mine cut 15″.
- Cut the pine board for the shelf. I had mine cut 18″ long.
- Line up the fence pickets, and screw two attachment boards onto the back side as shown below.
Make sure there are screws going into each picket.
- Paint or stain the front side of the pickets and the pine shelf board.
- Screw the shelf brackets into the shelf first, then into the pickets, and then screw in the coat hooks beneath the shelf.
You can hang a towel and washcloth on the hooks and put bath supplies or a plant on the shelf.

Thanks so much,Kris!
You have such a beautiful bathroom and this DIY fits perfectly!
Thanks Heather!
That is really cute, Angie! I could see it being used other places, too. Like painted and hung in the kitchen or the entryway. Very versatile, I think and it looks so easy to make. Nice idea!
I’ve actually made both painted and stained versions without the shelf. Naomi. They are easy to make.
I love the look of this. But, concerned that the metal hooks, unless water sealed, may rust.
They might rust in a shower or a bathroom without a vent, unless the hooks are stainless steel.
