Steampunk shelving

A friend passed on another etsy find from Vintage Pipe Dreams using upcycled pipes and creating shelving.  My hubby dreams that if we ever redo our bathroom (which someday will happen ... eventually, when the kid's in college maybe) he wants to use traditional ideas to make a towel heater.  His idea is to run part of the pipes exposed out of the wall upon which to hang the towels.  The system would have a bypass switch of course so by turning the switch one could run hot water through the pipes and heat the towel as one takes a shower.  We think its clever and is inspired from classic Roman engineering concepts, but we're not repiping just yet.  These fun shelves do inspire us to spruce up the bathroom a bit.  We'll probably make our own since we've got sufficient tools to do so.  However if you want to buy some or just admire the possibilities here you go!
