    Not feeling the white shower curtain...
  • 13 years ago
    I know I am late to this party, so you may have already finished this bathroom. I have to weigh in on the glass. Men tend to love it because they don't usually take as many baths as women, if at all. Most are shower only guys. And, at the risk of offending said males, they often are not the ones to clean the crazy things.
    I am currently paying to have mine ripped out and a new tub put in. why? two reasons: sectioning off an area in a small space-even with glass-makes it feel even smaller (you go from a small box to an even smaller box) and you can't take a bath very well without the tub ledge. In fact, it ruins the ambiance for a bath completely. i feel like a goldfish in a rectangular fishbowl. I do not have claustrophia but this small enclosed, water filled, glass box will do it to many of us. And, in a small space, you are constantly banging into the door. Sheesh....Obviously, I vote no and can't wait for the demolition in my bathroom on Monday.
    Love the green with the chocolate brown. It's like key lime pie with a chocolate crust. Yummy colors!

    smaller print with green and white, everything smaller to fit the scale of the bathroom. Love the first green shower curtain with the white lines but it should be in reverse. Mostly white with green lines. I do the same as you and just buy and try everything. In the end the solution is much simpler and cheaper than I thought it would be. I do like the green, brown, white scheme you are trying.

    I am definitely going with the green rug, either of the towel set, I order two shower curtain. The one suggested by Natalie and one from a different thread with grey and white from West Elm. Hopefully either one works because I wont stop until I get it right. Thanks for all the help and by the way I also have another bathroom.

    I like the curtain with horizontal stripes. Would not do a lid cover tho and maybe a small white rectangular rug...

    These are my final choices for shower curtain. I cannot figure out how to upload the pictures.

    Hi Angela! One thing i like to do in bathrooms, is use a double rod and put window panels on it with a clear liner behind it. That way it gives height to the room (84" vs 60") the clear liner lets me see the beautiful tile and gives me so many more choices of fabric. You can tie back both panels or leave them hang to hide stuff. 84" clear liners are sold at bed,bath and beyond.

    I actually like the curtain for myself but it might make rm feel more spacious to use a lighter tone of the wall color founf in tub surround, well maybe. Its to small a room in my opinion for burgany or I would use that , or soft pink with tiny splashes of green as in tub surround for a more femine look.Silver / pewter for taps and soap dishes etc maybe even basket or back of commode if it was painted either pewter or green or comination there of, keeping tiny colors and lest designs in all areas in my opinion adds tospaciousness of tiny rms.

    Yes I love it but one more question do I use the same towel set from earlier or should I change the towel set
  • 13 years ago
    Angela---I like the towels exactly as shown in the photos with the shower curtain. It looks fun-and uncontrived. I Love the Large pattern-perfect for a space that size and the organic element softens all the straight lines/edges of the sink/vanity and tiled floor and walls. I think it's a keeper. :)

    Use plain colored towels, in the shades of green found on curtain and/or white. The curtain is lovely btw.

    Good morning Angela,
    Looks like you've had a lot of advice, so I hope I'm not repeating anything.
    I don't think the problem is too much green, I think it's too much SOLID green!
    Try a shower curtain with a pattern that incorporates both that green and some other colours in your bathroom like the colours of your tiles. I'll look to see if I can find an example to help you out.
    Good luck and have fun!

    I there a different location for the basket of towels currently sitting on the toilet tank? Keep the toilet clear of stuff; it takes away from the curtain too.

    Here's a visual for you.
    With some more hunting you could find one that also incorporates some of the darks from your tiles.
    (Up to you) I love the green, and if it's what makes you happy then you can make it work with a little "tweaking"! :)
    Please send me an after photo when you're decorating project is complete!

    If you like a neutral like the shell of the Pistachio I don't know but I really like the choice that you have made with a hint of blue .
  • 13 years ago
    Okay guys, I get the part about that it is too much green from the initial post. I will include my green in the room in some way fashion or form. I get that I need to include browns but I am having a hard time finding this. The current curtain was order and I am using that. Please if you can just include where I can buy.

  • 13 years ago

  • 13 years ago

  • 13 years ago

    Hi Angela,
    The shower curtain I recommended is from Crate & Barrel.
    The pattern is called Seaglass.

    I bet you are drained from thinking about this so much! That is how I get and sometimes I have to back away and get some perspective. And some direction. I wish you well, ANgels.

    The plaid one you posted is my favorite but when I look at your tiles and tub, i think you need a natural look, so I'd do the white with brown trellis flowers.
  • 13 years ago
    @pauli12, yes I am gonna give it a break this weekend and then come back to it. I am not sure do I stay with the green, do I go with the blue or there is the ideas that I get and I cannot find the picture. Brain is fried right now.
  • 13 years ago
    I see you have many ideas and posts........so IMO, leave the green rug originally posted, and add this shower curtain, and these decorative towels over the top of some white bath towels. http://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Sherry-Kline-Abingdon-Black-Velour-3-piece-Decorative-Towels/6423866/product.html and this shower curtain...... http://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Lime-Funky-Zebra-Curtain/7602077/product.html Not overly feminine, but beautiful!

    I agree with some other comments about it being too much. I'd keep the green shower curtain as your accent. I recognize the tags on the towels and rug as Target, and I would exchange those for a grey to blend with the slate wall tiles. I recently purchased grey towels from Target for a client, the color is "River Rock". That would work well, keeping the green shower curtain as your real pop of color.

    Now add navy and you will too

    In a small space, the 'less is more' approach is sometimes the more suited approach to go. I love green and it is a very popular colour in both design and Feng Shui.

    Having said that though, I would add pops of your favorite colour, complimented by a more neutral backdrop. You already have very bold accent tile on the floor and back splash, so I would be careful not to have the colours competing for one another.
