Black, White, and a Splash of Coral (a simple bathroom fix)

The bathroom needed a change! 

 I bought this over the toilet shelf a while back off of Craig's List.......

It was pretty plain and boring. It needed a change. I thought painting was probably my only option, but I couldn’t make up my mind on what color to use…. And then one day, or shall I say, one late night it hit me! Decoupage!! 

I had everything I needed on hand and a few hours later (if that) It was (pretty much) finished  : )  The next day I brushed on some polly and voila! 

 All I needed was:

* Modgepodge 

* Some decorative tissue paper

* Exacto knife 

* Polyurethane
* A paint brush
* Black spray paint (for the knobs)

I cut the tissue paper in workable strips and made sure I liked where the print would be placed.

Starting at the top I put the modgepodge on the cabinet.

Again starting at the top I carefully put the tissue paper on smoothing as I laid it down.

It was sticking out past the cabinet, so After it dried I took my exacto knife and cut down the side.

If it’s still not to your liking you can take sandpaper and lightly smooth it on the edges.

I put one more coat of modgepodge on the tissue paper.

The next day I spray painted the knobs black and put some polly on the print to seal it good :)

 This was a quick and easy project that really added some character and style to the bathroom.
