Hi Morena, I like the silver / chrome look. I’ve got a dish that I’m trying to upcycle like you did your bird and bowl. We’re renov. our bath so all my time / money is going into that right now. When I do have time to craft again, this is the first project I’m going to finish and post about. I’ve always loved your little bird dish!
