Hello, fabulouses, and welcome back to VIP Home!

June is coming to an end which unfortunately means so is Curtain Fest *sad face* Oh, no! There is no need for tears because the VIP has another super fabulous home series coming y’all’s way in July…check out the Instagram photo below for a little hint *wink*

 Now, let’s chat about this week’s VIP Home blog that is all about my new and spectacular shower curtain + why you should never shop for curtains hungry *wink*

I picked up this beauty (after an epic fail I will share with y’all later in this blog) at Bed Bath & Beyond in Johnson City, Tennessee. The colors of the curtain are slightly muted and blend well with the lime sorbet colored walls, and the pattern adds a vintage-feel.

 VIP Tip: When working with a small bathroom space, look for a light-hued shower curtain with a large, open pattern. The light color and large pattern will add depth to the space while giving the eye something attractive at which to look. 

Now...time to discuss the epic fail. I will preface by saying the shower curtain itself is not ugly--it just did not work in my space. I picked up this shower curtain for a steal-of-a-deal at Target one evening after I had finished painting my bathroom. I was exhausted, hungry, and tired of living in the chaos of the move. So, when I stumbled upon this shower curtain, I said to myself, "the colors match--this will definitely work! Plus, it's only $14.00."

I picked up the shower curtain shown above for a steal-of-a-deal at Target late one evening after I had finished painting my bathroom. I was exhausted, hungry, and tired of living in the chaos of the move–I was extremely ready to be done with the bathroom, and all I had left to do was find a shower curtain. So, when I stumbled upon this shower curtain, I said to myself, “The colors match–this will definitely work! Plus, it’s only $14.00.”

As soon as I got it home, I immediately hung it up and loved it–or so I thought. Then morning came, and I walked into my bathroom to only discover that I hated it–lime green walls + a too-short, multicolored, geometric shower curtain =ugh. When my mom came over to check on the progress, she hated it–probably more than I did! But at that moment, we both agreed that I needed something different–something a little less busy. And that I did not need to shop hungry.

Moral of the story–we just have to be patient, eat a few snacks, then make a decision *wink* 

Be sure to tune in next week for the new VIP Home outdoor series! I cannot wait to share it with y'all!
