Okay so not every improvement is time consuming or expensive. Our hallway bathroom (otherwise known as the guest/Ramona’s bathroom) needs to be updated. The tub is almond. The tile is underwhelming to say the least. The vanity is cream yellow marble with a shell shaped sink. I could go on forever, but you get the point. I don’t like anything in the room except the toilet which we have replaced as a phase 1 (??) of the updating process.
This post is about a small change to make this room more pleasing since an overhaul isn’t high on the priority list right now. We bought this shower curtain from Home Goods a while ago. It’s okay, but pattern wears on you as months go by in a room you don’t like to begin with. It was time for a change…
I saw that Kate Spade has a new line at Bed, Bath, & Beyond. (Thanks pinterest!) I rushed out and bought this shower curtain. We’ve had it for about a month now, and I love it as much as I did when I first saw it. You can’t tell in the picture but 5 of the stripes are actually ribbon.
Here is a much better picture in a way cooler bathroom. I’d love to have to claw foot tub in ours, but probably won’t happen at this casa. However I will be pushing for white subway and penny tile because that looks a-mazing.
Isn’t it lovely? It’s classic and neutral. No matter what we do with the bathroom in the future. Here’s the best part. It cost $34.55 for this small bathroom upgrade. I saved $8 by using those 20% coupons you get in the mail. It’s not a knock-your-socks-off, wow-look-what-you-did-to-this-room upgrade, but I like the bathroom just a little bit more. Sometimes you have to decorate around ugly until you can afford to improve it permanently (or move, whatever comes first).
So there you go. A small change that makes me smile (and makes me feel rich because I have a kate spade shower curtain). Make sure you follow us on facebook because there are some exciting things happening around here this week, and you don’t want to miss it!
It looks GREAT!! I would love a claw foot tub, too, but Brian isn’t exactly on board with that one. Our guest bathroom could use some major updating!! I’ll be keeping up with yours to get some good tips. Enjoyed your blog!!
Thanks Krissy! Looks like we need to convince our men. I actually pinned a bathroom the other day that had a claw foot tub that was used as a shower too. Nick said it wasn’t possible. I showed him. However I don’t know how practical it would be. Should I even care about that though…? We are a long way from focusing on the bathrooms. Both the guest bath and the master bath need serious help which means money. We need to finish some rooms around here before we can start on another!
