Why You Should Ditch Your Plastic Shower Curtain for a Fabric One
You’ve probably bought more than one plastic shower curtain in your lifetime, and it’s also likely that you’ll buy at least one more before you die.

Additionally, it’s important to look at color and print options because having bold colors and patterns can help turn an otherwise boring bathroom into an inviting oasis.
