Interior Foolishness #48

Can a bathroom have "seasons"????????? I say why not? This is my most fav room of the house. Why should the other rooms get dressed seasonally and not this one?

That's where linens come in handy. They don't have to be expense. Especially not a shower curtain that barely gets touched. The bright colors, sea shells and raucous strips are great for summer. In the winter we go snowy white with silver monogrammed hand towels and silver Christmas tree decorations.

Get "good enough" towels and washcloths. They should be comfortable and not completely cheap or thread-bare but don't spend a mint. After all, sooner or later you're going to dry off a wet dog with it, or it's going to have bleached spilled on it (if you use bleach).

Don't carry the theme to extreme. A Santa splattered shower curtain is too much unless you're 5. Subtle. As my Father says discretion is the greater part of valor. Discretion and restraint are the greater part of good decor as well.

When I say "go bat shit crazy" I mean it in a creative sense - Not in a way that will over-load all senses and offend your retina.
