Black and White Got My Attention Again!!

Take Black and White, add a pretty shape and then top it off with a Greek Key trim and you have captured my attention!!

While treasure hunting this week with Terri from La Dolfina we wandered into Goodwill and there he was!!!

I hesitated for a split second, and then after closer examination realizing he had one of my favorite patterns a Greek Key, and a white milk glass stopper,  he was mine!!!

I  would like to introduce you to my new Greek decanter……….

I put him on the sink to take his picture, but he is going to reside on the edge of the tub. I think the full wall of Carrara marble behind him and the white porcelain tub beneath him is a great backdrop.

So, dear readers where do you think he should go? On the tub or on the sink?

I think he looks great on the tub. It's like he has always been there! Fill him up with bubble bath!

I like him on the tub, too. It is hard to believe someone dropped him off at GW. An amazing find, and perfect for Kathysue! Hugs, Jeanette

How fun! I love Greek Key, too. Concerned about glass at the tub on a narrow ledge for safety issues, however.

Carol@6WilsonBlog.com said...

I just want your bathroom, Kathysue!! :) He's great, too.

Love it in the tub, but I'm afraid it will slide into the shower? What about on a bookcase? I also think it would be fabulous as a flower vase minus the cork! Hope you are having a great weekend!

The tub - it's so striking and when anyone walks down your hallway, they will see it!

Going opposite of the majority and saying the sink.

Barb @ The Everyday Home said...

I always have to be different - I kinda like the sink. Can you place it on the counter opposite the faucet? But I do like the idea of using it to hold bath salts, etc. I think either way - you scored!!!! :)

K&B by the Sea said...

On the tub for sure - he stands out so nicely against the light marble, and he doesn't have to compete with the wallpaper for attention :-)

La Dolfina said...

Wow, he looks amazing either place!
I love the idea of filling him with bubble bath!
You're a terrific treasure hunting partner!!!

Oh Kathysue...
I just had another idea...
how about behind the toilet between the cottons balls and Q-tips? It might be too much but it could look amazing.
