Bath Shower Home Design

The bathroom is finished! Woohoo! I’m so excited to be done!  I now have two whole rooms that are completely finished in my house.  😀  And they just happen to be the two most challenging — a total gut and remodel of a kitchen and a bathroom.  The rest of the rooms should feel like a walk in the park after these!

As you can see, splitting the panels allows for more of the window to show and to let natural light in. I’m guessing his “ shower curtain ” panels are made from barkcloth. These look so nice framing that tub and that window. And in the case of this bathroom and its layout, when you need to keep the curtain open to see the window, the symmetry is so much more pleasing than having a single panel pushed against the wall one side or another. Pinch pleat them or french pleat them at the top maybe even? A universe of fabric choices if you split your shower curtain into...
