This site is first and foremost about resources, so I am gettin’ all the Marimekko linens from Crate & Barrel into the database. Crate & Barrel currently offers authentic 1958 and 1960 shower curtain designs, with four possible colorways (some seem to be original, some are modern interpretations). Heck yeah there is more →
Alexander Girard bedding and shower curtains at Urban Outfitters
Posted by: • November 11, 2009
Urban Outfitters features bedding, shower curtains, cloth curtains and wall art, all based on archival designs by Alexander Girard. I particularly like the shower curtains, and they are now on sale from $20-$25. The quilts — which also have matching shams — are pretty groovy, too. Urban Outfitters – Alexander Girard.

Terrazzo shower pan from Stern Williams
Posted by: • August 22, 2009
Reader Christina writes with a second supplier for terrazzo shower bases — Stern Williams. These are terrific for mid-century homes, I see them all the time in time capsules. One tip: Think carefully about the size of shower pan you get. The Stern Williams rectangle is 32″ wide, the Crane/Fiats are 36″ wide. 32″ is going to be good if you are tight for space, but that’s not much elbow room for a 5’8″ amazon like me. 36″ would be better, I believe, *if* you have the room for it.

Vintage shower head blogging
Posted by: • March 27, 2009
Over on flickr there’s a group called “Mirror blogging” — people who take their photos taking a picture into a mirror. Well, here I am taking a photo of myself peaking into vintage shower heads during my recent vintage to Rejuvenation in Portland. There were so many quirky architectural items there – I had a blast. More to come, over time…
Shower curtains for Amy’s retro bathroom
Posted by: • December 31, 2008
When we looked at Amy’s vintage 1964 aqua bathroom recently, I promised I’d make some additional decorating suggestions. One thing reader Sara suggested was playing up the tub/shower at the end of the room with a great shower curtain. Excellent suggestion!
I’ve always been a fan of Calico Corners – so asked their PR department to suggest some fabrics that would work well for a shower curtain and window valence. The came up with some great patterns that would work beautifully in Amy’s bathroom – and which would allow her to keep the vintage aqua tile while still bringing the bathroom into the present with modern-day textiles. Interestingly: Jan Jessup of Calico Corners points out right off the top that turquoise is in!
