The post you’ve all been waiting for…
When I first moved to New England and we were in decorating mode; I wanted a shower curtain to match my bathroom color scheme. I looked at all the major retail stores and some minor ones but nothing captured the colors I was envisioning. So I went online.
Sometimes, shopping online can be even more tedious and obscure than finding something in a store. Until I found a website promising custom order options. I was VERY excited.
But first, I must back up and tell you a story.
One time long ago, I went to one of those charity-fundraiser house tours of fancy homes in Bellevue Nebraska. One of the more awesome and luxurious places had a theme to ALL the bathrooms – and I think there were at least eight. The theme was…
.
.
oooo (wait for it)
.
.
Each bathroom or powder room featured nude art.
Either a painting or a sculpture, usually quite tasteful and my friend Katrina and I thought it hilarious. We, too, wanted naked people in our bathrooms!
So I hired b.mclane to paint me a shower curtain using my requested colors. I can’t get a better photo because the size of the room is tiny.
Either click on the photo — we named our nude “Doris” — or click here –> showercurtainart.com, and you can get your very own cool shower curtain, too.
OK, that is all. Carry on.
I need to do a review of BossyPants by Tina Fey and Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea by Charles Seife and soon will have finished Fire Season by Philip Connors so must prep that post, too. I’ve got physical therapy for my back and a visit to a friend planned later. What fun things do you have to do today?
Tulips! Hub brought me some bulbs back from Amsterdam in January.

That is frickin’ awesome.
That is too cute! Doris has some amazing hair.
Doesn’t she? At one of our first neighborhood parties and I was giving a tour, I always shove the guest in the bathroom and say “Meet Doris!” but one of my nieghbors burst into laughter because her mother’s name is Doris and well, it was funny. Maybe you have to have been there…
Wow! It’s gorgeous!
I know!
I am so glad that Doris is outfitted with a proper pedi. LOL.
You noticed that, huh? (reminds me that I need a proper pedi myself.)
That is fantastic! I’m so glad you posted about this, I was so curious!
Everyone seemed most curious. Had to comply.
And here I didn´t even know this was what I was waiting for
Fun things today: well, yesterday I was so disappointed that I wasn´t allowed to use the cover photo I had fallen for. Today I went in search of some gorgeous, red shoes for my anthology. You must admit that is fun.
Oh, I mentioned it as my favorite piece of art in a post somewhere last week, I think.
DARN about the cover you chose not working out but best wishes that you find the perfect one for the anthology.
So very meta.
Yea? cool.
Probably the coolest shower curtain I’ve ever seen!
Did you visit her site?! I love her stuff. I think I might have to commission one with my dogs on it – wouldn’t that be a hoot?!
Doris rocks! And so do you for giving her a place to hang.
I hope she enjoys hangin’ at my place for as long as she can.
That is fabulous – and incredibly unique! What a great idea.
I was ecstatic when I opened up the package ms. mclane sent me. and happy to pay the amount for this wonderful piece of usable art.
So cute! And, nope, I don’t remember it at all. I think I was too busy ogling your closet and skylight.
This is in the basement bath. The colors match the tiles and towels.
I absolutely love it! So cool!
Doris is special. Glad you like her, too.
Too awesome. You really have me wondering if I could manage a nude in our bathrooms…
Thanks so much for sharing Doris with the world. She deserves adoration.
Of course, your bathroom needs a nude! But of course! All the classy people have nudes in their bathrooms. NOW you know.
OMG, I love it!! It is fantastic!!
