Many people have both inner and outer curtains--- one of a utilitarian
type and the outer more decorative. Back in the days when women had
large trousseaus, they monogrammed practically all their linens. Rules
of etiquette dictated the placement of the monograms.

I remember years ago when my sister-in-law got her first fancy sewing
machine and she was sewing everything that could possibly be made of
cloth (she was also into macrame lol!). You know..... everything had a
cover, pillows were everywhere. If they had done cloth bowls then,
she'd have made those too. I walked into her bathroom one day and there
outside the tub which sat in its own niche, she had hung draperies with
pullbacks framing the tub. And while it was not my cup of tea, it did
seem quite the royal bath. ;)

Yikes! Scary... I'm more of a minimalist. We don't have nets or lace
curtains anywhere, and I don't even have a blind in the bathroom! Mind
you, there's nowt out the back but fields for several miles... And
before you get to them there a couple of hundred feet of garden, a
paddock, and some full grown sycamore trees and the like!

My next shower curtain will be plain cream poly, strung on the rail with
giant silver eyelets! :) I need it to be at least nine feet wide and
six feet long, as it has to go round the end of the bath to screen the
windowsill, and the rail is quite high - above the tiles.

Here, a tall Viburnum suffices. ;) Penelope Hobhouse would be so proud.

You make us seem like exhibitionists - we've had glass doors on our showers
(stand alone and in bath type) for the last 3 homes we've lived in over the
last 12 years! None of this lacy stuff in our home either!
