I can't believe that of all the items I am having trouble finding for our new home, it is a new shower curtain for the guest bath. Guests are coming next week!  I am a pretty good accessory shopper but I can not seem to find the right one. I have been shopping local and online.  A friend commented on this photo I posted earlier in the month using two shower curtains:

I really like the look and I thought it was a great idea until I looked at my shower wall. I think the purpose of the open curtains is to have something pretty to look at such as a window:

Unfortunately, I do not have something pretty to view in my guest bath:I DO have a curved shower rod which I never even thought about before. Did you know a curved shower curtain rod will provide up to 33% more room in the shower?  They say that it helps keep the wet, sticky shower curtain further away from your body so it doesn't "attack" you like it does in closer quarters!We will see.

This is a top contender:viaNavy and white of course. My favorite.Another accessory I am struggling with is my folding screen: I love it but not sure what to do with it. I think it is so beautiful and would like to use in a corner somewhere.  I have too many accessories. My new mantra is “Downsizing is Extremely Hard Work.” Because I have to get rid of a lot of my stuff.I wanted to show you the outside view of our new entry window. Here is the inside:And here it is how it looks outside:I can’t wait to plan ideas how to decorate!The other side of the entry when you walk in has this beautiful display the previous owner’s left for us:Isn’t it pretty? I would like to talk to them and ask if they made it or had someone make for them. The pages have writing and looks like they were from a book. Interesting!I have made a couple little vignettes around the house:And even a little Christmas decorating:Have a wonderful, festive week everyone! Wishing you a holiday season filled with peace & love.Kelly  xo
