A Winter Bath

Since we have been bombarded with fluffy white stuff,
I thought this post would be appropriate.

Some time before Christmas, I got it in my head that red would be a pretty color to introduce into my tiny blue cottage bathroom.  So began the search for a red shower curtain...

My first purchase was a lovely red & white toile curtain.  I loved the curtain, but the deep red with my blue walls just wasn't doing it for me.

It was a cheerful and happy red that I needed.

My second purchase was a red & white polka dotted curtain.  It certainly was cheerful and happy, but man it was just red overload!

One day, in early December, I was shopping in Kohls & spied the cutest snowmen shower curtain.  The snowmen were wearing red scarves.

Hmmm, I thought to myself. 
Perhaps I need to add just a touch of red instead of a full-on blow-out of red.

But wouldn't it be silly to buy a shower curtain just for Christmas?
Do I really want a themed bathroom?   

With closer observation, I noticed the snowmen weren't really Christmas-y snowmen, they were more Winter-y snowmen.  Along with the fact that Winter lasts until March (or April...or May...) in these parts,  I could use it well past Christmas.  Between the sale & coupon, it would only be $12.00 & change, so why not have a little fun?

Come take a look....


Are they cute or what?
  

Turns out that just a touch of red was the way to go.


My favorite shelf with a touch of snow & a touch of red.
Aaaah, I love it!



Have I ever told you how much I love red & white gingham?


And that, my friends, is my Winter bath!

Thanks for stopping by today.
I appreciate your visit oh so much!

  3. Gina - that bathroom is adorable! I cannot imagine anyone not liking gingham in any color, especially red!
    I would love a little snow - real or not. However, maybe, not as much as some of you are getting these days! Stay warm!

  5. Your bathroom is great. I love the red bowl on the white shelf. It really pops when it is given prominence.

    I live in southern California so I can't picture winter until April. I am complaining that it is in the 50s lately and I am cold. If I did a blog post on that, I think all the comments would be "shut up and stop complaining".

  6. I love your adorable bathroom. Just a touch of red is what I like too, I like it as an accent not to dominate the room. Perfect shower curtain for the season. xo

  15. Aha, the snowmen with red and shades of blues is perfect, I'm jealous. You couldn't have nailed it better girl. Love your bathroom, so refreshing. Everything on your shelf and other areas is perfect.
    Lots of snow where you live huh? We had lots too until last week then it warmed up, melted the snow and we now have a mud bog in yards. YUK. And a very dirty dogs feet when he comes in. It snowed early this a.m. but by afternoon it was all gone again, more mud. Give me the cold temps and snow please, so much cleaner and a happier dog. We have to keep old towels by doors and get ready to wet them to clean dogs feet and he hates it.
    Love gingham in room also, love gingham anywhere.
