You are incredibly good at this painting lark, LIR! All that cutting in it, and you have all the lines straight and the borders sharp. I could never manage that.

Hmm, i could show less good places;

Sharp lines are masking tape though;);). Which lifted some of my woodwork paint so need to touch up.

Edit, i didn't say thankyou gdb when first replied, but, THANK YOU. I like painting. Still have not got second coat on upstairs, but not too worried even if i do not do that til winter.

Having decided i definitely want the split face marble and dh loving them we definitely chose them today. Went to the stone shop and they said ...oh no, not suitable for a bathroom.

I could weep, i really, really, really want them now.

The important "E" word didn't occur today ...... no word ... nothing. Another weekend of suspense and wondering....

I also couldn't wander too far from the phones either, "in case" .... even had a shower with the phones just outside the door and the door open.

Is there not some magical sealant they could be finished off with?

If not suitable for a bathroom, why the FOOK did they photograph them by a sink??? Morons.

Website even SAYS suitable for bathroom.

Maybe he's lying and he doesn't want you to have them because he wants to keep them all for himself...

It's all about being nice and nattering about daily trivia and minutae.

Everybody's welcome.... so long as they're nice

Horses are generally nice... are you a nice white horsey?

Further to the other excellent answers i would add it is a similar point to nice country ubs, chocolate, meeting up with friends, and buying nice shoes instead of nasty ones.
