Do You Reuse Your Hotel Towels?
When staying at a hotel, I always reuse my towels if I'm staying for more than one night. Almost all hotels leave cards in the bathrooms asking guests to do so, and studies show that the majority of guests do. Are you in the majority?
Casa Quickie: Throwing In the Towels
Lucky enough to score some fluffy new towels for your bathing routine? Make sure to take extra care when washing them. After buying new towels, make sure to wash them separately.
Casa Beta: Christy Organic Waffle Towel
Since the divets in a waffle are great for collecting syrup, it stands to reason that a towel designed with a waffle pattern will also be great at sopping up — well, not syrup, unless you live in a Willy Wonka house. Good old water is all this waffle design needs to contend with, and I'm happy to say that the Christy Organic Waffle Towel ($105 for three bath towels) does just that.
Granted, these towels are a bit of a splurge, but I can attest that they're well worth it.
Etsy Finds: Terrific Tea Towels
I'm a huge fan of tea towels. They're so versatile that I use them for everything from drying dishes to covering a batch of cookies to napkin substitutes. I like them even more when they come with a cute design, like all of these great towels I've found on Etsy.
Do You Roll Your Towels?
I've told you that rolling towels is a great option for pretty, open towel storage in the bathroom. Do you try this technique at your home?

Roundup: Pretty, Patterned Towels
In my own bathroom, I'm a white tile, white towel kind of girl. I like to keep them simple and easily replaceable since everyday towels do wear out. Guest bathrooms, I think, are the place to get busy (wink, wink).
Casa Quickie: Roll With It
There's only so much we can do to make our storage look pretty without calling in California Closets for a pricey custom mahogany masterpiece — like Debi Mazar's shoe paradise. But just because you gotta work with what you got doesn't mean you're at a loss. When it comes to storing towels, roll them and stack them instead of folding them.
lil Find: Mermaid Towels
Does your daughter love the Little Mermaid and Ariel as much as Katie Sugar? If she has gadgets and gizmos aplenty and who's-its and what's-its galore get her a Mermaid Towel ($48) to keep her nonfinned half warm and make a fashion splash on the beach, at the pool, or after a bath.
The fancy towels come in the very authentic green and blue and more mythical pink and orange.
Lil Find: Molle Dog Washcloth
Even though 73 percent of you have lil ones that love bath time I know convincing tots to clean off facepaint, dough and the day's grime isn't always easy. When my children say they'd rather stay dirty I whip out the bath boats or funny soap to help make bath time, playtime.
I adore this Molle Dog Washcloth that adds a little girlie and French touch to cleaning up.
Love It or Hate It? Crew Towels
These Crew Towels ($3.99-$7.99) from Linen and Things embrace the love for all things prep. Would you hang them in your bathroom?
