Dyea,
Karen and I have both tried to take pictures of our bathrooms with the tall shower curtains but it’s so hard in a tiny space. We did however get a great shot of Virginia Cheek’s hall bathroom, and she’s done the same thing hanging the shower curtain all the way at the ceiling. See a picture of it here: https://www.ballarddesigns.com/howtodecorate/2017/08/home-tour-virginia-cheeks-timeless-airy-bungalow/
Thanks for listening!
