Amy Butler Shower Curtains

When it comes to shower curtains, I often have a hard time finding exactly what I like. As a result, I am forced to get creative and whip up one using bed linens and a plastic liner — something I learned from my mother since she always made them for our home. Thankfully though, over the years som great shower curtains have emerged and can be found at stores like Bed, Bath & Beyond and Target but still… I think that there is still a gap when it comes to finding ones that feel feminine yet modern without either being contemporary or Shabby Chic.

Check out this bathtub with built-in storage:

Keeping the Bathroom Organized

Two product-loving girls + one bathroom = lots of clutter potential

As I’ve blogged about before, my new apartment is great, but it doesn’t come with a lot of storage. When my roommate and I moved in, the only storage in the bathroom was the medicine cabinet–and it’s a tiny one at that, think barely enough room for our toothpaste and bottles of face wash. Not to mention the fact that we started out without any storage in the shower either.

So here are our solutions (and get ready, you know I’m going to ask about your solutions at the end):
