A retractable towel bar apparatus, comprising:
- an anchoring base for attachment to a substantially planar surface, the anchoring base defining a first sleeve and a second sleeve extending substantially perpendicularly through the surface;
- a retractable towel bar comprising:
- a transverse elongated run,
- a first run perpendicularly attached to the transverse run and slidably positioned within the first sleeve, and
- a second run perpendicularly attached to the transverse run and slidably positioned within the second sleeve
- such that the transverse elongated run can be slidably positioned substantially adjacent to the planar surface by sliding the first run and the second run fully into the first sleeve and the second sleeve, respectively.
