Read MoreCurtains up for 2015
Our current shower curtain is not the most attractive – it was here when we moved in and we haven’t got around to choosing a new one since. The one at present is a cheap buy which gets rather grubby at the bottom, not the nicest when you have guests over. Enter the hunt for…
