I have a white waffle weave from Target in my master bath. Looked great. Perfect. Until I washed it.  I read the washing instructions and followed them. It shrunk so badly that it looked like a towel. No kidding. It hung 2 feet shorter after I washed it.  ::) So, I am still looking for something similar, but being white, it shows dirt and stains easily and needs to be washed often. I need somthing that won't shrink! Good luck!

Ok I sewed black on the bottom and about 1/2 inch strip of black across the top.

Here is my toilet paper holder.



Towel rack. My pictures are dark because I took it with my phone.

This is how the shower curtain will look most of the time.



Here is the towel ring. My white towels are a lot whiter than my tile.  I don't like it.

Beg, the fabric looks awesome, and it is cool that you mimicked the pattern of your tile.  The towel thing would bother me too.

LOVE the shower curtain! I'm so glad you went with it and added more fabric.


BEG - Did you get those towels at Target? I have the same ones in my downstairs bath. And yes, I'm insane because I'm bothered by the fact that towels aren't folded evenly.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Yep, same towels. They were cheap weren't they.

LOL ok maybe they aren't the same towels. The ones I bought were inexpensive (relatively speaking).

Doesn't everyone have the "don't use those" things in their house? Heck, my mom had an ENTIRE ROOM like that when we were kids. That woman could hear you just put a big toe on the edge of the carpet in the "good living room" and start to hollering, "Ya'll GET OUT!! That room is for company!!!!".

We had one too.

My mom's new house is probably four times the size of the one I grew up in, and she still has one of those rooms that nobody ever goes in to.  For people who don't drink, I'm curious why their house has two bars in it.

We love to tease our mom now. We're grown and nothing is more fun than tiptoeing into the "good room" and teasing her. When I stay at her house and she's at work, if she calls and asks me what I'm doing I say, "eating a popsicle in the living room while doing jumping jacks".

:rofl:

she gets me back by re-arranging things at my house.
