Bath Items

Question of the day:  How come toothbrushes don't fit in toothbrush holders anymore?  Did we really need such comfort-contoured handles?  We used to have a nice toothbrush holder that came with the Airstream, but it was outmoded probably the moment it was installed.

We substituted this Ikea (surprised?) holder that had a saucer on one side for soap and a glass on the other side, then substituted 2 stainless steel glasses for those items.  One glass holds the toothpaste tube, the other the toothbrushes.

Also you can see the soap dispenser in this photo. This, I would say, is the single best value investment we ever made - costing about $10 (not Ikea --Faucet.com had them).  It makes life so much easier to not have to deal with soap bottles or bars of soap.

Art

With our new soft blues and greens, the perfect artwork for our Airstream was watercolor paintings by our dear friend Laurie Brooks.  Check out her wonderful paintings at http://lauriebrooks.net/  The colors in the photo don't do justice to the beauty of the paintings! This painting is of our son:


And this one is of a Holstein cow in springtime under a flowering tree:



I will take a better picture soon!
