As you might recall, we purchased our home early this year and it was boring-builder-grade! We have big plans for the place {eventually}, but for now I am trying to come up with affordable or free solutions to spice things up a bit. Now that I’ve started decorating little man’s room, I am itching to get at the bathroom…they’re going to be somewhat matching with a cohesive nautical theme. One of my plans is to put up bead-board in the bathroom, with blue paint on the top half of the walls. This would be a great way to bring in some pizazz; but, I know that’s going to be a weekend project which we don’t currently have time for. So, to bring in a pop of color {and some fun} I made a vinyl cut-out for the toilet!
This project was FREE-ninety-nine {did I really just say that?} because I already had the vinyl. I simply cut out an anchor shape on my Silhouette Cameo and put it on the back of the toilet.
Little man loves to use his “anchor” potty now! It’s nothing major, but it really is a great addition to a child’s bathroom. You could use any color and image to match your bathroom decor. Or, if you’re looking for something decorative in a guest bathroom, there’s always the option of doing a cut out of your monogram in black. That looks cute-and-classy!
Since I’ve only had a chance to dream about little man’s new bathroom, I’d like to share some inspiration I’ve found thus far:
1. Apartment Therapy – I am obsessed with the bead-board & colors in this bathroom.
2. Barn Owl Primitives – How adorable is this little sign? A perfect reminder to wash your hands!
3. The Pleated Poppy – Gorgeous bathroom re-do. I love the towel holder anchor.
4. Little Pergola – Great 5×7 printables on Etsy.
5. Atkinson Drive – I found this cute kitchen cart at IKEA, but it would be perfect for bathroom necessities.
6. Unknown – What a great idea for a nautical bathroom!





























how in the world do you keep from getting water all over the floor when your shower curtain wont close? Maybe that paddle is not such a brilliant idea.
HA I never even thought of that! Maybe it’s best used as a decor piece hanging on the wall instead…or a towel rack?
THIS is so clever and so much smarter than attempting to paint it on! :)
