At last! (just some venting over online purchasing)

Remember how I painted my bathroom? Well, with a new wall color also comes a new shower curtain. I won't tell you how many I've purchased over the last 5 years...(considering we've lived in 7 different homes since we've been married, I actually have a pretty modest average)I think this is one of the many things Kyle chooses to smile, shake his head and look the other way on.

Anyhow, late one night I sat down at the computer to search for a shower curtain. I knew I wanted red and I knew it had to be toile as it's my latest fabric obsession. If I could have it for everything in my house from the crib bedding to couch pillows, I would... After perusing several sites I chose the online store. Keep in my I went with it with the understanding it would be "shipped in 2-3 days." After 10 days of waiting I checked online to see what the status was. It still said, "will ship in 2-3 days" HA! 2 days later it was updated to "will ship in 4-7 days." I finally contacted the company and asked them (politely, of course) where the heck my shower curtain was. I received no response. A few days later, however, I got an e-mail letting me know my curtain had been shipped and it would arrive on Valentine's Day. How thoughtful. Except that it didn't. I got it today, instead.

I just think it was so wrong of this online store to weasel me into buying a product of theirs because of their false advertising. There were tons of other sites that sold what I was looking for. The only difference was how fast each site could get me the shower curtain. I went with this one with the understanding I would have the product in my hands in under a week. I would understand a hold up because of weather, or they mistakenly "thought" they had a product in stock but didn't, etc etc. But they didn't tell me why and totally ignored me! Grrrrrr. Better late than never I guess???

Anyhow, I hung it up as fast as I could. I even had a new shower liner waiting, too. The hardest part is deciding which of the 4 red rugs I bought go best with the bathroom. Obsessive? No. It's overwhelming how many different shades of red there are and how they can either make or break a bathroom. Good thing I am up for a the challenge. (just don't tell me if you don't like the rug!) Here's a swatch of the curtain. I love toile!!
funny how such things as shower curtains can create so much stress, and also so much happiness.
