Stone Bath Hooks Inspired by Viva Terra

I recently posted how I love rocks, sticks, and trees in dec­o­rat­ing.  Here is an idea for incor­po­rat­ing rocks into your decor for a nat­ural look.

These rock towel hooks are from Viva Terra.  I really love the look of these hooks and decided to try and make my own ver­sion.  My par­ents are avid “rock hounds” and have an exten­sive sup­ply of inter­est­ing pol­ished rocks avail­able, so I was able to find some very pretty and inter­est­ing rocks for my project.  I didn’t really want to do any cut­ting, so I went to Lowes and picked up some small wood pieces that are meant as accent pieces for mould­ing.  Then I found some small metal cab­i­net knobs for my hook base.  My hus­band was kind enough to drill some holes for the hard­ware for me .

I decided that since my rocks were so col­or­ful and shiny, I didn’t really want to leave the wood nat­ural, so I stained it a medium brown and put a sealer on it.

I wanted the metal hooks to be a richer color as well, so I spray painted them in an oiled bronze color.

After that, all I needed to do was epoxy the rocks on to the cab­i­net pulls and screw them into the wood blocks.  Done!

Now we can stop throw­ing tow­els around the bath­room. (please?)

P.S.  If you want some pretty pol­ished rocks for this project, I sug­gest you con­tact my friends over at Irv’s Rock and Jew­elry.  They can fix you up with any­thing rock related, and have great jew­elry as well. Also on Face­book.
