They have firefighter pillows, towels, bedspreads, lamps, pull cords, coat racks, chairs, couches, coasters, area rugs, clocks, hat racks, aprons, place mats . . . in short, they have something for every room EXCEPT the only one I'm interested in decorating with a firefighter theme; the bathroom! We bought a new house (well, new to us), and the previous owners had the guest bathroom painted red. Normally I am not a fan of red, but I thought since my SO is a firefighter/paramedic, it might be neat to incorporate the red into a firefighter themed bathroom. I'll be putting a couple of firefighter art prints on the wall, which are easy to come by, but yeesh, I had no idea that no one ever thought to make firefighter themed shower curtains or sink sets. They have every other theme under the sun, for crying out loud! At this point I'm thinking the best I can do is just get a plain white sink set and paint a dalmatian print on it. It's just a shame there are so many cute firefighter figurines out there, and no one thought to turn one of them into a soap holder.

. . . On the plus side, the fact that I have the freedom to consider such things is so exciting! No more renting! No more fear that animal control will be called out for my illegal chickens!

Congratulations! I wish you many happy years and animals for your new home! lol
You got me on the decorating, but I had a weird idea for you.
Get a fake plastic fire hydrant (maybe from a pet shop), drill an opening on top and use it for a toilet brush holder. Just a thought. My mind works in mysterious ways.......

Googled, ebayed, craigslisted, yahooed, freecycled, catalog searched, store searched, online store searched, garage sale searched, ran around in circles in a frenzy . . . the bedrooms, living areas, and kitchen bogart all the firefighter themed stuff whenever I can find anything. There just isn't a demand for firefighters in the bathroom. Can't say I'm surprised, just frustrated.
 
What about having curtains and accessories custom made. Someone on here has some beautiful aprons and other things that she sews. If you can find the material, maybe you can have someone create?

you could buy the fabric and then just use a clear liner for the shower,
as for towels and mats for the firefighter bathroom you could just use plain black or red, be careful with reds tho they can hard to match
