Okay, call me gutless, call me stuck-in-a-rut, but I after much internal debate over color, I just ordered an aqua step stool for our main floor bath.

The yellow was a contender, really it was.  But I just kept thinking about the fact that the reason I hated the yellow paint in our dining room was because it made our gorgeous cherry hardwood floors take on an unattractive orangish hue.  Those same cherry floors run right into the bathroom, so… aqua it was.

Now I just have to decide what towels to get.  Up ’till this point I’ve been using a random assortment of towels we’ve managed to collect through five years of marriage.  Since it’s just a half bath, I really only need a couple of hand towels, so I’m thinking it might be time to spring for something fresh and new.

After a brief online search, these are the two I like best:

Sonoma life + style Tiburon Medallion Bath Towels at Kohls

Lenox Simply Fine Bath Towels, Chirp Collection from Macy's

I’m not sure if I’ll go with either towel in the end.  While I love the geometric pattern, I wish the medallion towel had another color in it.  And even though the chirp towel has exactly the colors I was thinking of (including a bit of yellow!) I’m not sure if I really love the birds.

So, now I’m on a towel hunt.  Let me know if you spy anything interesting in aqua while you’re out and about!
