New Bathroom Shelves!

So You Want to Decorate Your Bathroom!
Well here is how I did it!

We have the tiniest! I mean TINIEST bathroom! So I didn't have much to work with. 

But to liven it up I added a bright shower curtain, accent wall, and bold shelving!

The shower curtain is from Target, and it is what we based our whole color scheme on.

Next I hung the faux brick wall.
Wondering what that is?
We are renters so we can't paint or put up wall paper but there are ways to get around that. It's contact paper I ordered from Amazon for around $12! I left the backing on, and just nailed the paper right to the wall!

You have to push the bubbles out from the backing and try to line up the bricks perfectly, but with the help of an x-acto blade and some elbow grease I got it up!

Next came the shelves, we just had some 1x4s cut into 3 from home depot and I stained them. All-together it cost about $12, including the brackets.

We used the same brackets as the ones used in our coffee rack! You screw one end into the underside of the shelf, and one end to the wall! Just right over the contact paper.


Then....time to decorate! Don't be scared to put in things "ordinary" people wouldn't think to see in a bathroom. You aren't ordinary are you? No you're EXTRA-ordinary ;) But you obviously know that the air freshener is necessary to any bathroom...

The painting I hung on a nearby wall was also an original creation. It was rather simple :)
