Bathroom? I gotta go with Larry's comment on that one. ;)
Do you really build in all those places?
I gave away one of my 4 for the simple reason that I thought I was already
overstocked. The odd time I do use one... I use only one. Am I missing
something? Or is there a reason for needing them in pairs? I'm asking
seriously, as I really don't know.

Perhaps they're just a light grey, I'm not really sure. But I could have
sworn the package listed them as silver. I seem to remember them being in
some kind of 'anniversary' packaging, but have long since thrown it out.
I'll try to get a pic of one of them up sometime.

Currently? I think the answer is, no. But I've been wrong many times
before :)

Although I do remember many plates being jammed underneath tender
fingernails in an attempt to separate things. Ouch. :)
