I really like the carpentry work - it's fantastic!

(The only thing, I have to add, is that I don't think the shower curtain matches everything else very well.)

Thank you!

I appreciate your candor about the shower curtain. I had the hardest time finding one I liked locally and ended up buying this online. I think it works well enough (it's got colors from the room in it, blues, greys, browns), I liked the circles that kind of echo the circular curtain rings.

But I'm very open to ideas and suggestions--any thoughts on a curtain you think would look better?

It's definitely not "ah, my eyes!" bad - it's just a bit too modern for the rest of the space. The rest of the space is very classic and clean lines. I could definitely see what you were going for with echoing the towel rings, but it comes off as "matchy-matchy", not cohesive.

I think just something a bit simpler, and with cleaner lines would look nice! More classic, less "mod".

But, it might be hard to tell from the pictures, so you should definitely go with your gut, because you clearly have good taste!

Thanks! And I really appreciate your thoughts on the matter. It's hard sometimes to be objective when you're really close to something...or just plain tired of making choices. :-)

I might go with something really clean and simple - a quality fabric with some texture and a little accent. I'd be tempted to go with white, to brighten up the dark wood and the taupe tiles. (Taupe? Grey?)

Something like the Satin Stitch here would be really clean.

Oooh. I think that outhouse curtain is THE ONE. YES. ::giggle::

Hee. Thanks for all the suggestions! I don't like the "bubble bath" tired one but the others are great ideas. Thanks!
