RUB-A-DUB-DUB: Redesign Your Gross Bathroom
Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 12:21AM | by Amanda Waas 
If your bathroom looks anything like mine, you’ve got some mold on the liner of your shower curtain and so many stray hairs on the floor and in the sink that you often wonder if you have Alopecia. TMI? Sorry.
I myself made the mistake of buying the cheapest shower curtain at Target, only to realize that it was the ugliest shower curtain in the history of mankind. Orange, with turquoise, pink, red, white, and yellow stripes. It looked like fucking Cinco de Mayo up in my bathroom and I nearly had a seizure every time I needed to take a shower.
So, let's take a look at some stuff that can spruce up any bathroom. The stray hairs, though? Those are all on you.
Cityscape Shower Curtain ($39.95, CB2): Wash off the grime from the polluted city air and the creeps who brush up against you on the subway all behind this gorgeous shower curtain from CB2. I can attest to the greatness of this particular product because I just bought it. Word to the wise—it doesn't come with rings or a plastic backing, so you might want to hold onto your old ones. Also, don't bother buying the matching yellow bathmat unless your bathroom is big enough to park a SUV in. That shit is HUGE.
Stuck Bath Plug ($16, Urban Outfitters): If you're looking to kitsch it up rather than class it up, check out this ridiculous bath plug from Urban Outfitters. The fish! It's stuck! Hysterical, right?
Amber Glass Pharmacy Bottles ($14-48, Restoration Hardware): I have this weird obsession about being able to put everything I own in glass canisters. Mainly, because I think it looks cool, but also because it will allow me to feel hyper-organized. With these bottles, you can give your bathroom an old-timey feel and actually store your Q-tips somewhere respectable instead of spilling out all over the bottom of the cabinet under the sink. Just me?
Kooboo Storage Baskets ($39-69, West Elm): If you're a creep and don't mind displaying for everyone what magazines you read while you're leisurely sitting on the toilet, then these baskets are for you. Me? I'm from the pilgrim school of thinking. KEEP WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING IN THERE TO YOURSELF. Do I need to know that you're reading Cat Fancy Magazine while you're in there? NO. Maybe they can make one of these baskets with a lid to avoid all of this awkwardness.
Pebble Mat ($44.95, CB2): Look at this bathmat! It will help you turn your bathroom into a zen oasis. You can throw koi in your bathtub to complete the look, or just use that fish plug instead. See how this shit just came full circle?
Awwww yeah.
