It is our way of saying Thank You and learning to appreciate what we have, as opposed to constantly thinking of what we lack or what we want! It’s good for the soul and one of the best ways I know for getting out of a cranky mood.” ~ Gala Darling Vintage Wallpaper M y Grandparents bathroom features the best wallpaper I have ever seen. It is made up of humorous vignettes of bath scenes, and I am really in love with it. Last time I visited I took some photos to create some sketches in Illustrator. I am working on a series of several of these bath scenes for my own bathroom and am so thrilled with how they are working out!
