I have been there...too many nights to count. I am glad that my words provided some solace though! Your comment made me smile, it was a nice thing to wake up to, thank you. I love the mirror idea. I hadn't thought of that one. I haven't really done anything about it even after all these years. Sometimes it's still a hit or miss with the colors. 😉 I really should consider getting a box to slip them into...Maybe this summer. I hope you come back to read some more, but this time during the day! Here's to peaceful slumber and coordinating tissue boxes! Thanks again for the kind comment and the visit!<br />Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-51733501386197382162018-07-03T07:43:10.984-04:002018-07-03T07:43:10.984-04:00I've been reading through your blog while suff...I've been reading through your blog while suffering insomnia. It definitely didn't make me sleepy but has been wonderfully entertaining. After reading this post, I had gone on to read many others but it stuck with me for some reason. Probably five years too late but a suggestion that would keep the tissue box color from mattering. I'm sure your hubby could make a cover to slip over the box from wood with a slit in the top for the tissues. Mirrors would be beautiful added to the cover or just simply painted so it could be easily changed also works. Very much enjoying your posts and will have to follow your blog. Thanks for the company on a bad night.

I know when I find blue & gray tissue boxes I nab every one. Like you, it bugs me when I end up with purple or red which do not match our bathroom colors.

I laughed out loud, finally someone who understands my pain. My husband thinks I'm crazy. I don't understand the crazy colors the boxes come in now - they wouldn't match anything. It got so bad that I made boxes to match each room I have a tissue box in; one black, one barnwood natural and one barnwood whitewashed.

I totally feel your pain. I've so...Oh I know! I totally feel your pain. I've solved that problem though. I found a brand of tissue that made a box that exactly matches my bathroom shower curtain, at Aldi grocery store. It looks like it was made for my bathroom. Each time I'm in the store, I rummage through all the tissue boxes looking for that particular one. People look at me like I'm crazy, but I don't care. I buy EVERY single box they have in my pattern...whether there's 3 boxes or 30! I've stored them away in a cabinet. Yes, the cabinet is full, but I don't intend to ever have to settle for another mismatched box of tissue in my bathroom. (I don't know what I'll do when they discontinue the pattern...and you know they will.) The sad part is, probably no on notices but me, but hey, it's important to me. When thing match, it brings me peace.Katzcradulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03748496167405455567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-34950271690152907702015-02-21T17:49:43.004-05:002015-02-21T17:49:43.004-05:00Thanks!

Long ago I used to give my grocery list to the Husband and he would come home with the entirely wrong thing. The he would act as though I should just be grateful he got me anything at all. So frustrating! Seriously, though, I did hear once that women can see hundreds more colors than men.

On the plus side, at least your husband occasionally thinks to purchase tissues! In our house, it is the battle of the eggs and milk. I don't like hormones in them, but for some reason my husband keeps confusing this with cage-free (regarding eggs) or whole milk. ????
