The two sisters

The oldest, B, and her husband recently made the move out West from the Carolinas. They are getting accustomed to life in the country and becoming a student once again for the mister. The youngest, A, and her husband made a short move within the Carolinas for the mister to once again, become a student.

When we both found ourselves in similar situations - moving and the misters going back to school - but far apart from one another, we thought a blog would be a great way to still do something together and for family and friends to keep up with us. Follow us as we share our love for cooking, the great outdoors, and home.

Design Help

First, happy Friday and day before college football Saturday!

Now here is the challenge:




This is our bathroom. Notice I did not say "one of our bathrooms." This is it. Huge adjustment going from two spacious bathrooms to one not-so-spacious bathroom. Good thing I work from home and we both aren't trying to get ready in the morning.

On to the more important matter at hand, the bath decor. What shower curtain do I put in here? I could also put a window topper in here if necessary. I am stuck though. Do I do a pop of color or keep it black and white? At one point, I was thinking yellow. Maybe a wide yellow and white stripe, but obviously I wasn't completely sold on it because I didn't do it. It's a tough one because it is such a small space with already a lot going on between the wallpaper, floor and wall tiles. I need to do something though. I can't look at that vinyl liner any longer.

The great thing here is that the possibilities are endless since I have a very talented mom who can make anything as long as the fabric exist. Who knows, she could probably make her own fabric too if she wanted! We won't attempt that craft for this project though. Really though, I need help. What do you do to help this bath? Keep in mind, we're renting so there will be no wallpaper stripping, painting, tile demo, etc. We're just looking for thoughts on a shower curtain and, if needed, window topper.

  1. YELLOW YELLOW ALL THE WAY! . Just add a yellow curtain. Yellow towels and find a little ceramic birdie or bunny and spray paint him yellow to sit on the toilet tank. Don't go over board, just a few accent pieces! Heres a link to some cool towel hangers, but they are quite expensive. http://www.huset-shop.com/bird-on-a-wire-coat-rack-by-jba-p-6.html
