I know the Jab Anstoetz tissues well and you won't be disappointed by the quality whatever choice you do.<br />I'm curiously waiting for the presentation of your new show room<br />liebe Grüße U.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6529262281526104323.post-77461175942641905792021-11-01T19:52:15.098+01:002021-11-01T19:52:15.098+01:00Dearest Manuela,

My mother lives not very far (Roussillon) and my aunt lives in Saignon. Looking at your pictures, I could smell the Luberon and it looks like you are enjoying a beautiful arriere-saison. But I digress: I love your new wallpaper, much like a modern day sfumato. Your mirror is superb avec ou sans glass panel. My vote goes for option number 1. Thank you for sharing your new project.

They are all very nice in their own way. I'm still very fond of the green for the reasons mentioned above, but after studying photo #16 and how the location of the windows relate to the wallpaper, I think roan would also be a very good option as it would let the wallpaper take center stage and fade into the background. It's a tough decision, dear MaiTai, but as you have often said when choosing scarves, choose the one that makes your heart sing.<br />Warm hugs,<br />CS<br />P.S.
