Like I said before, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and if you look at Denise's comment, you'd see there's a way to give helpful suggestions without worrying that everyone on here will hate her like Shelia was worried about after speaking her mind. I don't always like things I run across on various blogs and so what do I do, I don't comment, I just don't feel the reason to point out the negative.Laurie from Laurie Jones Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10549329957385944618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-83105556746700849302010-02-16T22:02:24.682-05:002010-02-16T22:02:24.682-05:00Great idea for the sink.Great idea for the sink.margaretabchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084592660036298037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-17012926245256333832010-02-16T21:23:02.939-05:002010-02-16T21:23:02.939-05:00Bravo Claire, bravo.Bravo Claire, bravo.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154846109609330503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-60851635218753194572010-02-16T21:07:33.507-05:002010-02-16T21:07:33.507-05:00A "sink skirt"?

You're exactly right, Denise- that tile ...LOL. You're exactly right, Denise- that tile (and grout especially) is a pain. The only luck I have had with the grout is letting bleach sit on it and then scrubbing it with a q tip, in small sections. I guess it is a little obvious that I have lost interest in this and I didn't really worry about it for a post on the skirt. Any way, I am happy for your tip. Maybe I'll have a before and after on my blog. Haha. So glad that y'all like my magnet tip and the fabric is Wilmington in multi by Covington.CLAIRE WATKINS, ASID ALLIEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12101732474553142141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-70178957848780140612010-02-16T18:04:05.824-05:002010-02-16T18:04:05.824-05:00I love the idea about the magnets and the curtain,...I love the idea about the magnets and the curtain, but I was really excited to see the floor since I'm currently working on a vintage bathroom project myself. Believe me when I say that it is not easy to clean that old tile or grout; bleach and water will not do it! But I found the product that did it for me. I honestly could do a commercial about it. <br /><br />You can see for yourself at http://www.livinglifecreatively.com/2010/01/kaboom-just-one-more-time-promise.html.<br /><br />I understand what Laurie said about being nice, and I think I am by sharing what I found to work on vintage tile.

The drapes are just great and the room they were in looked very nice. The idea for the bathroom is good, especially for renters. What is wrong with being honest and offering suggestions? To my mind, you were being helpful and offering constructive suggestions...<br />sometimes being "nice" is so phoney.suzieQnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-57071914702548272842010-02-16T17:48:25.209-05:002010-02-16T17:48:25.209-05:00Love the tip - the magnets idea is fab!Love the tip - the magnets idea is fab!Sanity Fairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837572570886461071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-89194330804848290602010-02-16T16:25:06.675-05:002010-02-16T16:25:06.675-05:00If you thought everyone would hate you for your co...If you thought everyone would hate you for your comments then why would you say them?

The screw looks tall; sometimes they need to be cut down for the cap to fit on. A mild bleach solution could clean the stained grout on the floor. They also now make a product especially for renewing the color of your grout and it has a sealer in it also, I believe. It also appears to be really grotty underneath the faucet. Darn these great cameras we have now. Wow, I didn't really mean for this comment to sound mean, but gosh, really, this room is not ready for it's close-up. Even if it was just supposed to be about the sink skirt and the decor isn't complete, well, we can always clean, at least. This post isn't of the quality to be on this site. Just my honest opinion; I'm sure everyone will hate me.Sheilanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-85434549883202557802010-02-16T14:57:54.175-05:002010-02-16T14:57:54.175-05:00I love that fabric!
