I've recently remodeled my main floor 1/2 bath, exchanging the vanity for a pedestal sink. The bathroom is very small and the location of the toilet relative to the sink makes for a difficult reach for a towel hanging over the toilet on the bar I have already installed there. I'd install a towel ring on the wall to the left of the sink, but there's a light and fan switch as well as an electrical outlet there and the ring will have to be so high that it will look funny. I'm wondering if there is a towel bar or ring that can be easily attached to the pedestal sink itself. I've found a plastic self-adhesive towel bar, but I don't like how it looks. I've also found a curved towel bar designed specifically for pedestal sinks, but it mounts to the wall and my 2 year old daughter would have that one ripped out of the wall within one day of installing it. Also, it only comes in chrome. My faucet is nickel. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I found this in another post. Don't know if it would work for your sink or not, but you can investigate.
If you have a pedestal sink and it is the right style of pedestal sink, this towel bar will at least allow your child to reach the towel easily and eliminate the same circumstance in the future. I hope this helps.

The toweltender thing was perfect! I just received it today and it’s hard to believe I have never seen these before, makes my sink look so much better and it works great. The kids actually think it's fun to wash their hands now (we will see how long that lasts). Thanks for some great advise. Krisy
