Decorating

I'm trying to decide what to do with our bathroom. I talked Jason out of using the broken cartoony world map shower curtain* that we used in the old apartment, but I'm not exactly sure what to get instead.

*For those of you who saw it, yes, I know, the world map shower curtain was interesting AND educational, but I kind of want something a little more classy in the new house. Plus, it was ripped. And the tape I used to fix it was ripped. It was time to let it go.

I would also like to note that in the downstairs half bath we have a monkey trash can, monkey face bath mat, and just today I bought a palm tree with monkeys soap dispenser to put in the bathroom. Jason loves monkeys. So you see I'm not so much of a decorating harpy as you might think.

So the upstairs bathroom is entirely black and white. There are tiny black and white tiles on the floor and black and white tiles on the walls. The sink and bathtub and little cabinets are white.


Basically I'm torn with what direction to take it. I originally thought red, which is kind of a classic look with the black and white. We already have these white towels with red stripes and today Kohl's had some dark red towels on sale that I picked up (55% off, plus an extra 15% off. Love Kohl's!).

However, I also saw another color at Kohl's that I like a lot - kind of a medium teal shade - that makes me think of spas and relaxing and ocean breezes. I'm kind of a sucker for aquas and teals, but I love dark red too.

In my search at Target and Kohl's today, I didn't really see any shower curtains that went with the red towels. I know something will turn up eventually. But maybe I should go with the teal and make it more of a spa bathroom with one of those white waffle-fabric shower curtains.

These are the tough decisions.
