Anthropologie, in addition to having gorgeous shower curtains, has amazing bath mats. They come in flower shapes too instead of the standard rectangular shape. You should check out their website.

SD913, I think there's a CB outlet in alexandria, right outside of DC, near King St.

And is the craft paper a normal weight, like normal copy machine paper?

Thanks! I'm asking because this looks great and I want to do it to a chest of drawers.

love the look
