As it is, it looks gorgeous and feels warm and relaxing.

I was starting to despair of ever finding towels, but found yet another aisle to wander down and voila! I couldn't believe my luck to find towels striped with the exact colours I wanted. And I blame the nearly-new flooring for the meticulous prep work!

Sinks are not supposed to behave like Labrador puppies. I like the final color and I <i>love</i> the striped towels. And I'm deeply impressed by the meticulous prep work. I tend to clean off the hardware before the paint actually dries....<br /><br />Mary Anne in Kentuckysolarityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606487180967915130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-61428890154778676902010-11-12T16:20:33.958-07:002010-11-12T16:20:33.958-07:00Amazingly beautiful...great job.Amazingly beautiful...great job.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329622951839766826.post-33031160500153259242010-11-12T15:40:33.124-07:002010-11-12T15:40:33.124-07:00Brava!
