Do you have that bathroom? The notorious room that is nested in the innermost workings of your home and without a window? That dark and sometimes coziest room of the house? Yup, most of us do, including us Rapps! It can be quite the little troublemaker too. It’s dark, maybe a little small (ours is), and needs all the bright, light, and color injection it can get!
One of the tricks that we used in our inner bathroom was to pick a shower curtain (albeit plastic) that had some cutouts to let light into the shower and to not just be a wall of fabric when you look at it. However, plastic shower curtains lack of the convenience of being able to toss them in the wash – and the bathroom is definitely a place where everything needs to be washed (not for the obvious reasons – I’m moreso referring to moisture!).
The day had come to replace our lovely blue checkered shower curtain (originally bought by my man and only my man for his apartment pre-Megan – he’s so good). However, unexpectedly I came across two wonderful options!
The first option came to me by the Goodwill in Williamsburg (cause doesn’t everyone go to Goodwill while on vacation?!). It was a beautiful ikat print (a Target Threshold for $2.99!). Here is what she looked like:
It is definitely a more traditional look that really dresses up the room. The fabric is quite the stunner.
Option number two came from JCPenney (basically my one stop shop – love that place). They had a major sale and a majorly good coupon so I picked up this little lady for $10. How could I resist this modern color curtain?
I love how the color splashes mimic the idea of artwork on the opposite wall.
They really seem to have some union going on. This one is definitely more in line with the modern feel of the room and is definitely brighter.
I know my favorite – what is yours? Sound off on the poll below!

Love the Ikat and JCP as well! ~Christy
Thanks Christy! It definitely is a hard choice!
I love the way the color pops from the JCP…I voted option 2! But that Ikat was a great find! ~Sonya
Thanks Sonya! I agree on both accounts!
I like the traditional Ikat because it coordinates with your tile and wall color. Both are really nice!
Good thoughts Paula! Thank you!
Love the both but I think #2 works perfectly with your bathroom’s wall color and artwork!
Cheers
Thanks for your input Therese!
I like the Ikat one! And yes, that is what I do ALLLLL the time: visit the thrift store while on vacation! I like to see what other thrift stores are “workin’ wit.” HAHAHA Great choice!

Thanks Serena! It’s good to know that I’m not alone on my Goodwill trips on vacation. I live in a smaller town so it’s awesome to go to bigger cities where they get more “treasures” through!
They are both pretty, the Ikat looks great with the other surfaces in your bathroom. Either will look wonderful!
Blessings,
Cindy
Thanks Cindy! It’s definitely a close race!
