I have a large seascape picture over the bed in my guest room, and I have been looking for a shower curtain for the bathroom to compliment the picture and the blue, turquoise and white bedspread. The subdued colors of the shower curtain are perfect to carry the color theme into the bathroom. At first removal from the bag, the shower curtain has an intense smell of plastic, but it loses the smell almost as soon as you hang it up. Also, it is thin, and some people may prefer to use a liner, otherwise it's not necessary. The price, which includes the curtain hooks is very reasonable, and the curtain itself is very beautiful!
