If I were a set director, this would have been in Belle & Sebastian's "Funny Little Frog" video. Try listening to this song and not thinking about this shower curtain or vice-versa. I dare you.
As I've said before, shower curtains mean a lot to me. I'm going to be honest - I judge your style on your choice of shower curtain. It's not logical or fair, but it's what I do. Color me human.
I see it as such an opportunity to showcase your personal style - a huge blank canvas that you can do anything you want with. You don't even have to know how to draw! {Editor's note: that's important for people like me who can only draw two things, one being an eye and the other being a snoopy out of the number 25.}
Let's say you have a stark-white, standard apartment bathroom. I'm with you on that. You may or may not be able to paint it, and you have to be careful there, considering the size of the bathroom as it's really easy to overwhelm a typically small space with color, giving it that pleasant feel of claustrophobia or panic. Let's say you can't paint it but you really want some color in there, or something that makes you smile, your personal stamp on what is otherwise a very fixed environment.
May I present - the Singing in the Rain shower curtain from Target. Graphically, it's right on the mark, very striking while avoiding an overwhelming pattern. And who can resist the pull of the romantic, optimistic theme? I will admit that this may skew a bit female, but I think a man could pull this off, especially with a darker/duller color curtain liner. Grey would be quite cheeky.
Well, it's actually not raining and I do feel like singing a bit, so I'm out of here. You can find this on target.com, but you must go to the Red Hot Shop on the homepage, and scroll about halfway down. I trust you to be able to navigate a website.

Have you ever seen something this ugly? Seriously now. Who made this? More importantly, who got paid cash money to design this?? This has GOT to be an April fool. This is the Essential Home Fairies Collection at Kmart, and these accessories are 8.99 each. You read that correctly. The cup? 8.99. The soap dish? 8.99. Overall, it costs you more than 30 bucks for your bathroom to look this ugly. I know ugly of this caliber is not easy to come by, therefore it may be worth it for you to snatch it up. In the event that you are short on some ends, the kmart website has informed me that a payment plan is possible.
I can't stop laughing.

It may be an outdated term, but I thought I was going to see stars when I fell last night and most likely broke/chipped my finger. Unbelievable! Ah well, I was having fun when it happened, so that's the price one pays.
Luckily, you won't have to pay a very high price at all to buy this fun rug! Simply go to your local Kmart and shell out 5 bucks. It's supposed to have a patriotic feel, but it reminds me more of a comic book or fun stickers. What a great accent. While I wouldn't put this outside on my porch, I would use it for a fun feel somewhere unexpected, like a bathroom or even a bedroom. Now if only I could have one wall of my bedroom painted like a comic book with the word "POW!" and have this rug to go with it, everything would finally be in place.
Dare to dream, Kasey, dare to dream.

I kept a shower curtain for 4 years without having used it once. It was packed countless times, dragged from house to house, all in the anticipation of getting to finally put it up and enjoy it in all its striped glory. Alas, I kept meeting resistance. Roommates and boyfriends alike always seemed to have a shower curtain they were attached to as well, and it was already up/really important to them/their house, so I had to go along with it. I even once tried to use it for a wall hanging, but the holes kept showing. I finally parted with it a year or so ago with the realization that it was never going to happen for me and the sooner I realized that and let it go, the better. (NOTE: this is the best advice you'll ever get that you won't heed.)
Which brings me to today. I don't think I'm the only one who is attached to their shower curtain. It's a great way to display your fashionable side, your wild side, hell, even your ugly side if you're so inclined. This gem is found at Kmart, and even though it's black and white, the print is pretty bold. I love how they have it paired with a butter-yellow background. I would also be okay with pairing this with red accents.
So, if you're looking for a little action in your bathroom and you're willing to part with 15 USD, get thee to your local Kmart and snatch this up as you can't get this one online.
