My New Embellished Shower Curtain

So, last year I painted the kids' bathroom red and was on the hunt for a new shower curtain.  I looked all over for one that was black and white ticking, but I couldn't find one.  I finally broke down and bought some black and cream ticking and made my own.  I had company coming and needed something quick, so I settled for the cream.  I liked it initially, but after a few months it just seemed so dark in there.  The cream really felt heavy and dark and dingy in such a small room.  The post about this curtain is here.  Here's the picture, but you can't tell much about it here. 

Anyway, I've been searching for MONTHS to find a new one that I liked.  I love my red paint and wanted a curtain with a lot of color.  Something like...

that had both red and aqua, which is my favorite color combination as of late.  So, I found the above online and immediately headed to the brick and mortar store to see it in person.  But, once I got there I realized that the red in the curtain did not match the red paint.  UGH!  Back to square one.

So, I explained the situation to Hubby and with company coming next week, I decided that I just needed to give up my beloved red paint and repaint something else.  Hubby quickly explained that he was NOT going to have time to help me and talked me out of repainting, which frankly didn't take much because I HATE to paint.  So, the only other option was to make my own curtain again, but I couldn't find any fabric I liked again.  So, I decided to embellish a plain white curtain.  I bought my white shower curtain and I bought my supplies.

That gift bag sort of served as my inspiration.  I bought paint in the same red as my bathroom walls, aqua and an apple green.  I spray painted my collection of buttons and VERY randomly attached them to the plain white curtain.  I sewed the big ones and got lazy and hot glued the little ones.  I added ribbon and ric rac to the top.  Wanna see?

Wanna closer look?

I did also grab a few little buckets from Target's Dollar Spot and a few hand towels.

Wow, I need some artwork.  I'll work on that next week.  I think the kids will like the bright colors so much better than the black and cream.  So, what do you think?  Do I need more buttons?  Any suggestions? 

Y'all have a great weekend!  I'm linking this post to:
