Acanto chair at Maxalto

Amy Butler Shower Curtains

I’ve got my eye on this new shower curtain from Amy Butler for Welspun. Sophisticated and graphic, it’s at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Butler has a couple of other terrific new curtains for the same price—very Anthropologie-esque. They’re only $40 each.
