Many Thanks to those that I traded with for homespun or sent me homespun just because. :)

Thank you all for your kind comments. I do love how it turned out and the colors. I did get the window curtain done yesterday, but will take a pic later after the walls are painted. It just doesn't look right yet.
Here's a few of the questions that were asked, so I thought I'd try to answer them. :)
Yes, on the back side is the vinyl shower curtain
No, I didn't use batting in between as I had posted a question asking about it and it was brought up about the batting maybe holding to much steam/moisture. So I left it out. I didn't even put an "X" through the middle, just sewd the edges together.
We thought that same thing. If you've got to be in there for any length of time, might as well feel comfy at the same time. I'm not sure yet about the color of the walls, although I'm leaning towards a carmel brown color, somewhere in the warm tones.
Homespun is a looser woven cotton fabric. Most of it is stripes or plaids. It's 100% cotton. It feels very different from regular cotton.
That's exactly the look I was going for too!! :)
Thank you! Yep, I've got that on my list on the finishing touches to do too!
Homespun although 100% cotton is a looser weave than regular cotton. You can feel it when you touch it. It's also mainly a plaid or stripe.
I too had talked about redoing the bathroom for longer than I should've. I'm blaming it on the kitchen (painted it a couple of weeks ago and am moving up the stairs). :lol:

I've used the picture through the mirror trick when I'm taking pics for my listings, I just have to be really careful not to appear in the mirror too! What color are you going to paint the walls?
