Maybe pick a shower curtain you really like and take the color scheme ...»

from there. Easy to paint the vanity cabinet selecting a color from the
shower curtain. Maybe try a neat fabric shade or bamboo shade at the

Total space is about 12x25 - this side is the 'living area', the other side houses the hot tub. the couch at the end was purchased in the 60's by my mom and dad, the love seat on the left was found on FreeCycle....next comes either screening it all in - or Mosquito Curtains!! Will probably go with the latter - as we can open them during the day - and close them when ...»
