We love the shower curtain. We didn't realize how dark our bathroom was until we put up the new shower curtain. Even though there is a great bit of color, which we like, the upper portion of the curtain is light in color and has made a huge difference in our bathroom, Our bathroom looks bigger due to the change, and it is a lot lighter in the shower when in use. We are now going to continue on redoing our bathroom in the nautical theme due to the acquirement of the new shower curtain. Thanks Overstock.com.!
