Like a hotel, but dirtier

We have two hand towel holders in our main bathroom. One is above the toilet, and the other is installed lower near the door. We put it in when my son was potty training a few years ago. The rack is wooden and had a circle that can pivot. My son got in the habit of pulling the towel while drying his hands, which put a strain on the holder. I used to remind him not to do that, thinking that it could eventually pull the holder out of the wall. Since I am not usually in there anymore when he is washing his hands, he doesn't get that reminder.

Somehow the wooden circle part of the holder actually snapped this weekend. My husband tried to glue it unsuccessfully. I thought we would need to replace it, but then hubby came up with the idea of screwing the larger remaining portion back onto the base. The result is 3/4 of a circle, which has a very modern look to it, and actually looks like it was meant to be that way.

My son's reaction upon inspection of the newly remodeled towel holder? "It's very fancy. It's like we're in a hotel...only dirtier." "What?" I asked him in surprise. He pointed to a little dust that had collected next to the base of the vanity in which the sink sits "There's some dust there." There was indeed some dust. Some dust. Not a pile of dirt and other random things. Surely some of you have a bit of dust on your bathroom floor?

Welcome to our home. It's like a hotel. Only dirtier.
