Here it is! Autumnal Glory! Fall is here at last!
The Dhuri Indian rugs are what gives us the color scheme
for this time of year.
The blue fishes in the Summertime bathroom here, have been replaced by this trio of pretty brass fishes that I found in a Houston thrift store at half-price, so that would be ten dollars...
We love our Gary Larsen in the Library!
A pivotal point in our decorating is the change-out of the picture over the "throne". This is a print by an artist named Carl L. Blonner. He was popular at the same time as Charles Dana Gibson, who painted the Gibson Girls. I can't find out much about him, but I'll keep looking. I like his style and I found this at Canton for five bucks a few years ago.
Need. More. Towels.
This little plaque is an antique postcard reproduced on a thin piece of wood. It was made by my friends Troy and Rob of Rue Chic out of Dallas.
They used to show at Warrenton during the Antique Weekends, but not for the past few years.
I wonder where they are now?
Now... I need your advice.
You see, I don't like the shower curtain I chose...too brown...too dark...

Just. don't. like. it.
Would you please just pop on over and take a look at these three shower curtains and leave me a comment on which you think would best work for my Autumn bathroom?
I'd be ever so grateful!
Oh, and guess where I'm going today?
It's Antique Weekend at Warrenton time! YEA!

Linking up with:
I'd go gold, either a stripe or a damask. Then you can dress it up with Christmas stuff and not have to buy a different one.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a damask. Something traditional and neutral to let all the other cute decor really shine.
Well, I already have a Christmas red and white stripe...but stripes I think I like..gold sounds like it would be good too.
DeleteThanks for helping me out!
Crystal,
ReplyDeleteI guess I'd pick the stripe out of all of them. I actually had a shower curtain listed with a lot of the colors that are in your towel stack. I ended it because I got sick of looking at the listing, but I just put it up again in case you might be interested.
Lorraine
Thanks Lorraine. I like the stripe out of them the best also...I think...I'll go look at yours here in a minute. Thanks for your comment! 8-)

DeleteOkay, I went and placed my bid on it! I think I'll like it...the flowers are just Impressionist water-colorey enough not to look like real flowers...I like things to be in the abstract... Thanks for the heads-up! 8-)
DeleteGosh, I hope you like it Crysta. Want me to end the listing early for you? I'm quite sure I won't get another bid. Let me know.
DeleteThat would be terrific! As you can see below, I got the go ahead from our decorator, DD faerie-flie aka DD Julia! Thanks so much!
Delete*sigh* I love our shower curtain.... It makes me feel rich. But since you insist... The Links Peva Shower Curtain in Russet Orange from Amazon. The Hometrends is just too aqua and the Watershed is Christmasy. o_O
ReplyDeleteWell, you know, I like that one too! It's just so hard to decide...but the stripes are winning! thanks for your help. What does your shower curtain look like?
ReplyDeleteOh, ha ha! I just found out that faerie-flie is none other that my DD Julia commenting from her Wordpress account...oh yes, I think I KNOW what her shower curtain look like! 8-)
DeleteI'm leaning towards the Eddie Bauer now, Mom. It would go with the bungalow look of the house. It's got enough light to make Dad happy.
DeleteHi Crystal, love your Autumn bathroom, it was this time of year that I stayed with my aunt and uncle in America and I loved it! For your shower curtain personally I like the third one, check this one out to, would really suit your autumn theme xx http://www.amazon.co.uk/Quality-Waterproof-Curtains-Bathroom-Including/dp/B0094D7ZLG/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1348333287&sr=8-13
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda! What part of the US do your aunt and uncle live? If you don't mind me asking? The Fall is my most favorite time of year! And I checked the shower curtain out...it's nice but I'm thinking that I'm going to go with the Eddie Bauer curtain that Lorraine at Clamco has...so then I'll only have 5 shower curtains to choose from! 8-)
DeleteAlso DD Julia bought us a mossy green throne cover for Fall and a purple one to go with the Spring decor'....to be revealed next February or March!
Thanks for helping me out though!

I love the Autumn too, the best season with spring in close second! My aunt and uncle live near Pittsburg xx
DeleteOkay, now I'm thinking I maybe knew that...I've been to Pittsburgh...once! On my way to Manhattan to pick up DD Julia from a summer ballet intensive at The Joffrey Ballet...I really loved PB! I bought a few coats there at a Thrift Store, it was great! I'd love to go again...My youngest sister and I are going to N. Platte, Nebraska toward the end of October and plan to come back to Texas down through Iowa, Missouri and Arkansas...at least I hope it pans out that way! Road Trip!
DeleteXOX
I love the brass fish! They remind me of something similar that my parents bought in Japan roughly 50 years ago. Enjoy them! :)
ReplyDeletePS- Thanks for the heads up on the glass!
Hey Wendy! Thanks for dropping by! You are very welcome for the glass info. I like to help out when I can! 8-) I believe the fish are Indian...but yes, they do have a kind of calming Japanese Zen that helps the ambiance of a functional bathroom! And thanks for the 'follow', you've got one entry into my Giveaway!
