Several were so impossible to get into she had to return with a 'helper' the following day. Once they finally reached the reception desk the manager welcomed them with "We saw you trying to get in here yesterday" .. :-( I thought a roadster was the old name for an open car?...See MoreHas anyone used CTI Expressions subway tile?

It is the same price group 2 that all of the whites are, unless you want matte instead of gloss. Which I would never do in a bath. Dirt cheap, and the perfect color....See MoreAliExpress LED light strips recommendations
