...throwing in the towel[s]

I'm not usually left in a dithering pile by decisions...
but I'm ready to run away, screaming, from this one...

maybe it's the low-grade sinus headache...
but I am having a terrible time choosing towels for my bathroom...

actually, it got so annoying last summer/fall/winter...
[I've addressed these issues before, numerous times...]
that I gave in and purchased several colors...
hoping to be able to use them all...
creating a rainbow of choices previously unavailable in the old bath...



here you see the green I've been using, with a forest green I haven't...



here, with the lighter green cut out, it looks pretty good...
unfortunately, the forest green is much duller in the room...
than it appears in this picture...and makes the room smaller...
so the jury is still out on it...



the yellow also looks better here than in real life...
but it seems out of place & too bright...
so it's got to go...



these "limey" green towels were called "celadon"...
as you can see, they are "wrong" with the trim...
so they are gone, in favor of the darker green on the left...



I also have black, which make the room small like the forest green...
but they do match all the black tile & accessories...
I probably won't use them much...
because they show the dirt & cat hair too much...



I have some lilac towels, which are a good accent...
and match the African violet when it blooms...



here you see the bath as it is most of the time...
with the middle green & violet towels...
[you can't see the violet rug on the floor...]



and here, the "also-rans"...

I'm still on the fence...
about keeping the forest green ones or the black ones...
I'd probably only use one of them, if either...

I know that I won't use the yellow or light green...
there are, in most cases, a bath mat/rug...
large bath towels, hand towels & wash clothes...
they are all "new" & all cotton...
from B,B&B, PB or CS...[heavyweight, not cheap...]

if any of you are interested in giving them a new home...
let me know, otherwise, they'll go to GW...

Methinks you're too picky! :)

GoodWill will be happy to get your towels.

...it was 20 years of NO choice at all...
now that I'm "awash with choices"...
I'm "picky"...go figure...
I think I'll keep the dark green...
there's room to store it...

I like the green on the left in the first photo, but truth be known, I'm into just white towels right now so I'm no judge!

...white towels wouldn't make it at my house...the green you like is my favorite too...
