A Few Of My Favorite Things

I enjoy bringing my garden inside, especially my roses! The other day I picked several of my pretty in pink peonies, five Love roses, two Tropicana roses and two Blue Girl roses. 

Below are two Blue Girl Tea Roses that smell as beautiful as they look. They are in a blue RELAX RIESLING wine bottle. Once in awhile, I get creative with ways to display my flowers. Since I had this bottle of wine that was hard to toss out just because of the cool blue glass and that the brand is RELAX, I decided to keep it for a flower vase. This was the first time I used it in my newly remodeled bathroom.

 Well, not exactly a new remodel. The bathroom project started a year ago last May and went on for several months. We had floor tile bought a few years ago when we added tile to our utility room. When we decided to do a complete makeover of the bathroom, the first items we purchased were the cabinet, quartz countertop, wall tile and the paint. Once I pick out the wall color - Frank Blue - I started painting right away with Duration Home® Interior Satin Finish by Sherwin-Williams. I was sold on Sherwin-Williams years ago after we painted our house with Duration® Exterior.

Due to other projects,  it was soon Fall and I was down to adding a few more rows of the L.A. Bel Air Cobalt Blue Mosaic Tile from The Tile Shop after I decided to return the side splash that matched the backsplash and countertop. I had enough left over to do this myself but I needed to order more Mapei Unsanded Grout in Chocolate. That was a special order and it took me almost 2 months to get one bag - but that is a entirely different story.
