I need a good resource for a circular shower curtain rod frame for around a clawfoot tub.?
I have found several sites online that sell them, but WOW...they are expensive! The cheapest I could find was around $200.
Does anyone know of where I could find these for cheaper?
...
A: I got mine at Home Depot. It's an add-a-shower kit. If your tub is already set up for a shower, then just use the rod, and not the other hook-ups. It's $84.00. Still spendy for a shower rod,...

I'm moving into a place that has a clawfoot tub with a circular shower rod. Do standard size shower curtains fit these or do I need to buy a longer one? Thanks!
A: Check/verify the height required and length to be. According to the height/depth of shower curtain, Curtain rod should be fixed.Shower curtains are available in standard sizes depening the...
OFF THE WALL: LET THEM EAT CUPCAKES
Free cupcakes. It’s good bait, what can I say? But then I saw the art and realized, these people are not playing around. Giant circular convex mirrors, projection screen fractal fish, and massive globs of marbled paint smeared all along the walls, ceiling and floors. It all began last Thursday. Harvard’s Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts held the opening of the Let Them Eat Cupcakes 
Katrina McElroy creates her art using video stills that capture moments of dramatic emotion. The images are then printed out onto different sizes of vinyl circles that she then adheres to the walls.
“The moments that seem on a scale of either importance or how much you’re feeling, the ones that are the greatest whether its extreme grief or extreme pain or extreme joy, those are often in terms of time of our lives, the most minimal. It’s like those are the special moments, whether they’re considered either negative or positive moments.”

Hotel rooms are like boyfriends.
I took the photo above in the bathroom of one of the hotels I stayed at on last week’s trip to New York. That was my shower curtain at Dream Downtown — metal mesh (backed by a clear vinyl liner). Visually arresting, sure, and intriguing enough that I took a photo of it.
But the designers sacrificed functionality for form. For starters, it wasn’t wide enough to stretch the length of the shower, so it wasn’t possible to keep water from seeping out at one spot or another. Also, the ceiling and curtain were so tall that when the curtain hooks came undone, it was impossible to refasten them. At random moments in the room, I’d hear a metallic PING! and know that the next time I showered, I’d find another hook on the floor. I lost two in the four days I was there, and by the time I checked out, only half of the hooks were actually affixed to something. I wonder if the housecleaning staff has to use a ladder to reattach them.
The light switch for the room was equally cool at first – an electronic panel with on/off, dimmer and “do not disturb” indicator. At first I loved it — until I discovered that despite indications otherwise, all the lights were on the same switches—there was no way to leave only the bedside lamp on and shut everything off. (So that “pendant” button also controlled the recessed lighting above the pendant lamp and the beside lamps.)
