Best to be cautious, Eric!

[Little My]

That's awesome! I would love them to wear little cat viking helmets. :lol:

In our last house we had a chip-activated cat flap, which we are not keen to replicate here because although randoms couldn't get in our cats could bring in "friends". :cry:

[Pippedydeadeye]

I would name the door “the portal to the nether realm” because that’s even more exciting.

We bought this at the weekend.

Sorry about the glare.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I love it, Brambs!

[Toast]

Me too! Do you know where it is or did you just like the picture?

[Little My]

That's wonderful, bramble.

[sally maclennane]

It's quite a famous picture in Scotland, I think its called Windows in the West or something like that.

[Toast]

Thanks, sal. I've never seen it before, I love it. It's like Rear Window in picture format.

[Pippedydeadeye]

When I stayed in the West End, my hotel room had a view just like that and it was amazing.

[bramblerose]

It is Windows in the West and I saw a print of it somewhere and loved it.

We saw the original at Kelvingrove and I spent ages looking at the detail so bought a print.

[Turtle Bean]

I bought these towels.

[Disco]

My kitchen hand towels are that colour.

[Turtle Bean]

Aren't they lovely. The bathroom is blue and grey but I was getting out a block of Zirk's favourite coal tar soap and realised that the orange went really well.

[Disco]

I was the same when I painted my kitchen a sort of minty green ice cream colour and saw how lovely an orange looked against it. :lol:

Pistachio! Not minty green.

[Turtle Bean]

Pistachio sounds lovely. And is one of my favourite ice creams

[Disco]

Mine too. I love ice cream more than most things.

It was an accidental colour for the kitchen - as it was during lockdown #1 and it was the only green paint I could get - but I really love it.

[Marth]

I love the towels, and the picture. Very atmospheric (the picture)

I have a tiny bathroom and I'm trying to choose the units etc but I hate them all. I have a tatty under sink one and towel cupboard in vomit green and love the storage. The ones I like are mega expensive. Especially for what they are (coated flat packed MDF). I also hate all the handles they come with.

So I've ordered two of these to stack so they will look like a built in
Towel cupboard, and I'm just going to go a plain wall hung sink with no cupboard underneath

Bathroom cupboards are ridiculously expensive. Those look lovely Marth.

We’ve just bought this and managed to put it straight up on the wall :)).

Oh I love that. After so many years of Waterloo being my main station of departure from London (to Dorset), it's now to and from Paddington
