Continuing with my now two-post-long update streak, we turn today to shower curtains. A few months ago I posted a few options I was considering, then promptly put “buy shower curtain” on the back burner as other priorities pushed to the front. All of that changed, however, on a trip to Target last week. I was trailing along behind my Dad and J, who were on the hunt for a bathroom scale, of all things, when I rounded a corner and came face to face with the perfect print. It has all the qualities I loved in the Viva Terra number without the steep price tag — this one was just $15! Here it is in action:
I’m pretty sure it’s a brand-new spring line product that doesn’t seem to be available on Target’s website (though while searching for it, I came across this one and this one that I also liked!), so you’ll have to head to your local store if you, too, would like to pick one up.
P.S. Just so you know, I wasn’t planning to show you the curtain in my bathroom until I made a few more updates, but my plans were foiled by the lack of an existing internet photo. Couldn’t wait to share, so I hope you like!

Speaking of curtains, remember that fabric I was debating a few months ago? Well, I bought it, but it turns out it’s not quite right for my space. The blue leans a bit too slate for what I was picturing. However, it’s beautiful, and could be just right for one of you!
The details: It’s the Khandar pattern in indigo by Robert Allen. It retails for $34.99 a yard, but I’m offering it for $17 (50% off!). Shipping would be about $11, and payment would be set up through PayPal. I have two 3-yard lengths, each a little over 54 inches wide. I would like to sell it all together, but would consider selling a smaller section depending on the response.

Any other Better Homes & Gardens subscribers out there? I’m one — embarrassingly (and truthfully), have been since the seventh grade. I like to think I’ve seen them through the good and the bad, and right now they’re having a very good streak. The January cover? Perfection.
I also loved the peak at Amy Meier’s home, and fell in love with her curtains, rug, and couch. The styling is right on in her entryway, too.
