Although natural stone is very beautiful with its natural look and wide ( almost infinite ) variation between tiles, it is porous and can absorb many things ( soap scum, rust, chemicals, Etc. ). Most tile sealers work pretty good including the ones you would see at Home Depot.

Ceramic and porcelain tile is easier to maintain because it doesn't absorb things into the tile itself, it just sits on the surface. You do lose the random and endless patterns that natural stone can provide but there are a lot of nice products out there.

Travertine for a shower?

You can definitely use it but you have to make sure that you seal it regularly or you could have problems with soap scum and mold. Also I would recommend that you go with a honed finish for the shower wall as it will make it easier to clean. Don't use natural stone if the room is already prone to mold.

What would be a good choice for a kid shower curtain?

When looking to renew a shower curtain that may be considered a good choice for children then it may be worth looking on eBay or the Amazon websites for clear shower curtains for sale with random child friendly images.

Do you say have or take a shower?

Most native English speakers say "take a shower" instead of "have a shower." There are circumstances where you can use either, but "take" is probably the safer choice if you're not sure. If you're referring to a shower that's already happened, it doesn't matter so much; "had a shower" and "took a shower" are both fine.

The hookless shower curtains are not hard to find. They are better because the curtain slides directly on the shower rod without needing hooks. You can find them at Walmart or Target.
