I will try to tell you this in my "thoughts/answer" again you may not agree: What we see with our eyes are not the same as another person seeing. Question about shower curtain: Does your DSIL not have a "nice" shower curtain as you do right now? If she doesn't, she likes the one you have and would appreciate one as nice as you have with out adding anything to it...maybe she is jealous that you can take something something (old or new) and add to it (making it look richer) and she can't do that. I think the question we should all ask ourself "is what do I have to lose, if I do it my way"! Send us a picture before/after we will give you our "opinion" In my opinion you may just be doing something that I never thought of doing or could not accomplish. Hope I am not wrong in posting this?
