I adore my Marimekko! I have a very small, oddly thin rectangular bathroom and this shower curtain takes up the entire far wall where the shower is fit. Its the first thing you see and it goes beautifully with my white unpaintable walls. I just adore it. It makes me happy every morning I get into the shower. Best $50 I spent on my place :)

Edit of previous post ... the comment should in 1.)
should say "Doesn't have the same ring to it"
not "don't have the same ring to it." Sorry, its the ex english-teacher obsessiveness in me. Can't be judged on bad grammar! :) ha.

1. Hi, I'm Penelope. My friends call me Penny. But don't be fooled! Just because I'm named after money, doesn't mean I have any... I do have a lot of student loan debt, though. (Please don't call my Brokey.. don't have the same ring to it as my real
name.

2. I'd love the fly in sky blue and charcoal and the iron gate in tomato to make a 2 sided backwards L shaped cage and the birds flying out of it towards my window.

3. I need these decals, because I need to come home and be happy to be home. I just started medical school, and spend all day at school only to come home to an apartment with nothing on the walls. Prior to med school, I was a fiction writer (still am) with time to be creative but now school has taken over my life! I've been an apartment therapy devotee for years and I credit this web page with helping me have the design sense to put together my apartment on a student loan budget. But my walls are bare, white and the landlord won't let me paint. I feel like I'm coming home to a small white prison where I"m put in solitary and forced to study 6 hours a day. I'm desperate for color and joy. These decals wouldn't just be an apartment makeover... they'd help make me over into a happier student who has a home that's not just a place to sleep but a haven. I'd put the fly in sky blue on my white walls, because birds remind me of creativity and I'd have them soaring out of a cage made of tomato iron vines. Even better, I only have one wall on which to put anything (strangely built apartment) and it's situated so all the birds would be breaking out of the beautiful red cage right towards my patio window. Instant color and art! Winning this contest is the only way I can afford to make my apartment more than a white box, but a vibrant, fun home. I'd be so grateful for your help! Free medical check-ups for all the staff when I graduate! Or... maybe I could write you a short story about a designer for you to serialize on the web page? :) Thanks for a great site.
