Good decision Stephen - looks lovely !

Mind you, I'm sure the Light Ivory would have looked great when finished too ...

Thanks Jonathan.

For everyone else, the Diamond Silver photos on my Instagram got more likes than the Light Ivory ones, so it's official - Silver is better :lol:

Not sure why that was, I've deleted it now. If anyone's interested just search for stvsnares on Instagram and I'm sure you'll find me.
