Summarize the following:
If you want a very decorative bathroom, consider decorative curtains. These curtains usually have a pattern or texture that makes them spruce up a room and are made out of higher quality fabrics. These are usually a good choice for a guest room. Also, as such curtains are more susceptible to damage from moisture, they may work best if you use your bath more than your shower. Decorative curtains are more expensive and difficult to maintain. Therefore, you should only opt for them if you're looking to make a room really stand out for whatever reason. They are not the most practical choice. Use decorative shower curtains in bathrooms where they won't get a lot of use, like your guest bathroom. If your bathroom has a more minimalistic design, or if you're going for practicality over decoration, see if you can find a solid color shower curtain. For simplicity's sake, a solid color curtain will work in most bathrooms when it falls into line with the existing color scheme. For example, a solid earth-toned curtain would go great in a bathroom with neutral colors. You want to make sure your shower curtain does not clash with the existing color scheme. If your bathroom is colored in neutral shades, like whites, you can try adding a splash of color with a brighter curtain. However, if your bathroom already has a strict color scheme, try to choose a curtain to match. For example, say your bathroom has yellow tiles and a yellow sink. Try to pick a curtain in a complementary color, like a gray or green curtain. You could also do a curtain that contrasts with yellow, like a purple curtain. Your curtain should not just match the colors in your bathroom. Think about things like light fixtures and mirrors in your bathroom. Most hardware in a bathroom is somewhat subtle. However, if you have very large mirrors or very ornate light fixtures, you may want to opt for a plainer curtain. This will prevent the curtain's design from being overwhelming.

summary: Consider decorative curtains. Select a solid color for a minimalistic look. Keep colors consistent throughout your bathroom. Take bathroom hardware into account.

Practically every friend, acquaintance, co-worker, and so on will offer their sympathies during the days and weeks following the death. Within a month or so, however, most of them will probably feel like it's time to move on. As a true friend, though, keep offering your support for as long as it's needed. There's no blueprint for how long you should check in and offer your support. Keep at it for as long as it feels like your friend needs it, and never completely stop doing it. After all, your friend's grief will never completely stop. Yes, it's a big commitment. But so is being a true friend. Certain days, like the deceased's birthday, their favorite holidays, and the anniversary of their death, are likely to trigger surges in your friend's grief. Anticipate these days and be even more compassionate, caring, and helpful when your friend really needs you to be. Depending on how your friend's loved one died, things like visiting a hospital, passing a bad accident scene, or hearing about a violent incident on the news may trigger surges of grief. Your friend may prefer distractionsfor instance, going to lunch and a movie with youon their trigger days, they may want to reminisce and talk about the deceased person, or both. Grief leaves a permanent scar, even after the obvious signs of it have largely vanished. Going to grief counseling shortly after losing a loved one is often very helpful, and so is continuing counseling for years afterwardor even starting it for the first time well after the loss. Don't say something like the following: "You really need to go to grief counseling to help you get over this." Instead, be compassionate and supportive: "I've heard that grief counseling can be really helpful. I'd be happy to look into some options for you, and I can also drive you to the sessions if you'd like." Your friend will be the same person in some ways and a different person in others after experiencing the death of a loved one. Things will never go back exactly to the way they used to be. Instead, work on building a new relationship with them based on their life after loss. Look at it as an opportunity to become an even more caring and compassionate friend. In some cases, your friendship may decline or you may drift apart completely. Focus on being a good friend with every opportunity you get, but accept the path that your relationship takes. Sometimes, being a good friend means letting go of your friendship.

summary: Keep checking in beyond the initial aftermath of the death. Identify "trigger" days and situations so you can be extra supportive. Encourage grief counseling months or even years after their loss. Accept their new reality and build a new friendship with them.

If you don't know exactly what it was you did wrong or how you can rebuild a feeling of trust, getting your things back can be difficult. Although it can be tough, talking with your parents about the problem can be the best way forward. After you learn what the problem is by sharing your thoughts and feelings, you can take direct steps to rebuild trust and get your things back. Don't be afraid to ask your parents why you are in trouble. Say something like "I understand that I did something wrong, but I'm not sure what exactly is wrong with it." It's okay to share your side of things with your parents and honestly talk about how you feel. Having an honest and civil discussion with your parents can be a great first step to show maturity and rebuild trust. Even if your parents are mad, avoid yelling at them or speaking with any kind of sarcastic tone. Showing an understanding of what you did wrong and how it affected trust between you and your parents can be a good idea. You could say something like "I know that sneaking out last night was wrong and dangerous. I'm sorry for doing it and I want to help make things better." If you don't feel like there is a clear way forward, rebuilding trust can seem impossible. Knowing exactly what you can expect from your good behavior can help you know how to act, what to do, and how you can get your stuff back. Ask your parents for some details about when and how you can have your privileges back. Ask your parents what behavior they expect from you in the future. You might say "I want make up for what I did. What can I do to show that?" Ask your parents when you can expect your things or privileges restored. Try asking something like "How long can I expect to wait before I get my things back?" It can be pretty obvious when you've done something to make your parents upset. However, this doesn't always make it easier when you're trying to do what's right. Asking your parents to let you know when your doing the right thing can help rebuild trust and demonstrate that you are trying to make things right. You could ask your parents something like "I want to do the right thing and apologize for what I did. It would be nice to hear when I do the right thing. I think this will help me focus on what to do next time." Restoring trust between you and your parents won't happen overnight. Anytime trust is broken, it will take some time before it is restored. Don't be in a rush to rebuild trust and get your stuff back faster. For now, focus on doing the right thing in the future and avoid doing anything that might make the situation worse.
summary: Talk to your parents. Have your parents make their expectations clear. Ask for some positive feedback. Take your time.
