Dreams Dashed.

As I previously noted, I'm still looking for the perfect shower curtain for the guest bathroom. I actually had the perfect one thought up in my head once my husband suggested a solid blue curtain. Rather than solid (because let's be honest, that's just boring), I imagined a ruffled curtain that beautifully ombred from lighter to darker blue. I then googled it to see if it existed and I actually found it!! From Anthropologie of course. BUT -- it was from last year and is now literally sold out everywhere including ebay, amazon, or any other sites available. I'm so sad now...it's PERFECT!

I also read on several people's blog that they didn't want to pay over $100 on it so they made their own DIY versions of the curtain. Example:

Anthropologie ruffle in yellow

Anthropologie ruffle in blue

The latter one the person actually individually dyed the strips. Don't think I'll have the patience or skill to do that. The former yellow version she just bought 9 varying yellow strips of fabric. Maybe I can do that. I'll have to wipe the thick layer of dust off my sewing machine and relearn how to use it first. 

Another item of desire that I most likely won't buy is Restoration Hardware's Cloche with Babies. Man I want that cloche!! But it's $400!!! So ridiculous...
