Wonderful! I do like this.

I'd be tempted to do the frame in a distressed cream, or maybe blue. You know the kind of seaside rustic look.

This is lovely and so neat, well done :applesauce: :applesauce: . I like the others am not sure about a white frame but is also depends on the colours in you bathroom. :thinks:
I often buy frames in wilkinsons as it is really hard to get the square ones.

I couldn't believe how hard getting a square frame is! I pick a lot up at places like home bargains and wilkinsons really cheap!
