The one thing I feel I have power over at this point is my shower curtain. There are still major details to hammer out, like the inspection and final approval of our mortgage, but I've already done all I can to keep the gears turning as we approach May 12, our closing date. So in the meantime, I'm decorating the bathroom in my mind.
The house has two full bathrooms and Josh and I have already decided whose is whose. He thinks this bathroom assignment is in respect to who gets to decorate which bathroom, but to me, it is in respect to him staying the hell out of my WOMAN bathroom (though he still insists he will be marking his territory in my domain. We'll see).
But back to this shower curtain thing. There is only so much online shopping you can do for shower curtains...and that equates to about 5 hours worth. So I think I've finally settled on one
. My inspiration? A paradox of masculine femininity--sleek whites, grays, and blacks with straight architectural lines... all with a sparkly softness :) With that theme in mind, I can easily envision myself showering behind this piece. It is simple enough to fit the masculine color scheme, but the ruffles amplify the girly-ness I'm looking for. So I order it.
But in seconds, Target makes me perfectly aware of these
. $32.99 for three novelty towels.
"Gorgeous," I think.
"I need these," I know.
"Do I need these?" I question.
"No," Josh decides.
See the moral of the story is this: When you decide to take on a house payment, every little cent begins to count. Where $30 dollars was a quick meal out to eat on a second's notice before, now, if you make the decision to save that $30 seven times, you can buy that lamp from Pier 1, which would happen to look fantastic next to that floor mirror (that you could buy after make that decision to save $30 three more times).
So I didn't get the towels. Three towels for $32.99? Come on. Then again, I could have about 18 novelty towels for the price of that lamp. :)
Love, Anna
