But sadly, these Kate Spade towels that I'd been drooling over for the past month did not end up being the same color as pictured online. :(
It's hard to tell in the photo, but the towels are much more of a neon lime green than I was expecting! Not the softer sage-ish avocado green as pictured on the Bed Bath and Beyond website.
I even went to one Bed Bath and Beyond location, and called a second one, to look at the towels in person before ordering them, but they were out of stock. It was worth a shot though, because I knew I was going to be pretty particular about the color of the towels, since I was hoping to base our wall color selection off of them.
Sigh. Needless to say, these towels are getting returned. Oh well, guess it's back to the drawing board, in search of the perfect shade of green hand towels. But dang it, I really wish these had worked out, and kept my successful online ordering spree going.
Have you ever ordered something online, and found a big discrepancy between the actual item and it's online picture?

Too bad they didn't work out!
totally worth a shot!
Aw, boo! I hate it when that happens!!
it was worth a try!
Aww, that's too bad about the towels - the pattern is so cut, but it's definitely worth it not to settle if you don't have to!
Aww poop! They're cute; just not quite right for the fabulous color run you have picked out. :o(
I just bought what I thought was coral-red yarn and it was utterly salmon-pink in person. Womp-womp.
That's a bummer that they didn't work out...but as someone who's 6 years into living in our "30 year" home, I can tell you that towels don't last forever. You may have lucked out that the colors didn't match. My thought is you should create a bathroom that can accept any range of towel patterns so that you aren't stuck years from now desperate for replacement towels. Does that make sense?
Aww that's disappointing! I've actually been eying those towels too, but I'm not into lime green either.
I order a lot online too and most of the time it works for me. Sometimes clothes are a big fail for me.
Side note...I LOVE that gray/sage color combo. Is that how your decorating your bathroom??
