I Made A Ten Foot Tall Shower Curtain!

I want to share how I gave the standard glass shower door

a more custom look by making a shower curtain.

Some of my long time followers may have seen this post

but I know there are many how have not. 

The "Life Is A Journey, Not A Destination" candle
was found at from Tuesday Morning.
It was the inspiration for this bathroom.


This is our hall and guest bathroom. 
It has 10 ft. high ceilings.
So I had to make my own shower curtain. 
I made it out of a tablecloth for 15.00!

These are the SOFTEST turquoise blue bath towels.

The lighting and my camera doesn't do them justice.

My bathroom doesn't get much natural light.

The Oatmeal towels have embroidery and rows

of ruching at the bottom, and they are also

super soft and very absorbent.

Robin egg blue and tan towels from Target.

The oatmeal/tan towels were on clearance at my Target.

I have been working on getting my guest bathroom,

which is also my guest bathroom, a more

inviting, relaxing atmosphere.

10 ft. tall shower curtain.

I really didn't like the bare
look of the shower enclosure.
It just looked unfinished and
kind of cold.

OKAY...

Remember the mystery project that I was making

out of that tablecloth that I got  at Marshall's?

It's my TEN foot tall shower curtain!

This tablecloth had gone through quite a few markdowns. It started out at 39.99, and then after a few more is was  15.00!   

I love the colors and

of course the Quatrefoil pattern.

Both are very popular right now.

It is a Quatrefoil pattern in robin egg blue, tan and a
 touch of brown. Both sides look great.

So I grabbed it knowing just what
I would do with it because...
I'm SO clever.

I almost never use a tablecloth
as just that... why that would be boring.
It usually becomes a window treatment!

I layed it out on the floor and cut in half "lengthwise". Of course BUDDY just had to help!

You say that doesn't look 10 feet tall?

Well just read on...

This is a rather average sized hall bathroom,
with a very tall ceiling!

See...

TEN FEET TALL!

I do know that it looks much 

more inviting than it did before.

Do you like it straight or tied back?

  

Look... I have cute little guest towels!

The guest towel stand was found at the Goodwill for only 2.50!

I also have paper towels.

Paper towels and paper cups for sanitary reasons.
Q-tips are in the jar.

And of COURSE I have to have some

cute little birdies!

The bird picture was purchased from Tuesday Morning.

Midnight Madness at Goodwill

I am proud to say that I'm a card carrying

Goodwill shopper in good standing.

(I have a punch card in every purse.)

But... I never knew about their

Midnight Madness sale. 

Did you?

I just happened to be there when they

 announced that they were closing at

7 p.m. and reopening from 8-midnight. 

Everything (except new items)

would be on sale at 50% off! 

It was my lucky day night!

I arrived back at the store at 8:10

and the parking lot was full, and

every shopping cart was taken!

Well, I would just have to make do.

This baby changing table did not catch

my eye at first glance. (No babies here.)

Hmmm...

How about a potting table?

Not really outdoor material...

but for 10 bucks I couldn't pass on it.

It looked like it had never been used,

but was just a little "loose".

So I asked Hubby for help.

He took it apart and glued the dowels.

Then he tightened up the screws.

I remembered some little black wheels

that I never used on the plastic storage

drawers in my craft room closet.

So, Hubby drilled some holes

and popped in the wheels.

For 10 bucks and very little effort...

this is how  I will be using it!

It is now my dish cart/storage table.

This is where I will be using it!

It fits in the closet where I keep my fabrics,

extra linens, and craft room overflow.

Those nifty little wheels allow me to roll

it in and out for easy access. I can also

roll it into the other room when I am

setting up for a tablescape.

What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by to visit.

I also want to thank everyone who left

an email on the passing of my

Dear Sweet Weezie.
