Did you count ↑ the eight pretty towels?
They are in the tiny closet-sized bathroom by the front door. Did you get that? Tiny bathroom with eight towels.
It gives us a lot of choice. Right? Wrong!
Because we don't use them!
We look at them but do not use them. We use the single, plain towel folded by the sink.
Yup! That is the towel that we use. The only one we use.
I am reminded that early in our married life, Sue took to keeping the phone inside the clothes closet near the entrance — on the floor, if you please.
Because . . .
Because the living room looked better without the phone, doncha know.
What's not to love about this woman?
The pretty towels are there as decoration and just in case someone stops by. Then the plain ol' towel will be hidden and the poor visitor who is wise to this move stands in horror trying to decide which pretty decoration to wipe their hands on.
ReplyDeleteI have pretty towels I set out when my DIL's family come. Otherwise, it is my old soft standby towels that are ugly and well loved.
:)
No touch towels are a way of life here too. Sue is a treasure and you know it, AC.
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty but don't deserve to be called towels if you cannot use them, IMO.
ReplyDeleteFortunately my wife is more into comfort than aesthetics... unless we have a formal party coming over soon.
ReplyDeleteYes you are! She has to make sure things don't hurt her eyes and you are a fine husband if you respect and accept that. It's hard to understand if you don't have the same kind of eyes.
ReplyDeleteThose are for guests. That is the way of the world.
ReplyDeleteA slice of Life, familiar and dear, AC. Hope you and Sue have a beautiful day
ReplyDeleteThis is sort of funny. I had a thing about towels, like I bought a kajillion of them. So, towels are not saved around here. I can definitely relate to Sue's aesthetics. You are a good man to go with Sue's flow.
ReplyDeleteHusbands can be SUCH a pain when you are trying to get the decor just right. My pain of a husband will not keep the towels in his bathroom matched. He manages to get grey washcloths with brown towels and the towel on the ring for hand drying will be different to the ones on the towel bar. I have to go into his bathroom and correct this horrible error. Decor is everything. And do not dare to dry your hands on a towel with hearts on it. No.
ReplyDeleteSue, whack him somewhere tender with a big towel.
You are not a highly sympathetic person, are you? 😊
DeleteI put up small decorative towels at several holidays and they aren't to be used. However, all my other towels are fair game. I understand completely though because towels don't look the same once they're washed.
ReplyDeleteHaha, Sue is right!
ReplyDeleteBut of course.
DeleteI keep trying to figure out how to hide the television. It's such an ugly thing that becomes the focal point of the room it's in. What's Sue's tip for that?
ReplyDeleteIt would probably be to make it a small one. lol
DeleteThey're very pretty. No doubt, company towels!
ReplyDeleteThese towels look like what I see in home expo
ReplyDeleteNo one in the family uses the hand towels. And quite a few guests are intimidated by them as well. Some wipe their hands on the back and hidden side of the towel; others resort to their own clothes.
ReplyDeleteI love her already. My kind of woman. I just want to see beauty wherever I look, even if it's just towels.
ReplyDeleteThose are guest towels, silly. If you had a non family guest, they surely would use them.
ReplyDeleteGuest towels? For when you have company? Doesn't happen much here.
