Quick bathroom art

Thanks for coming by yesterday for Q & A Day, friends! Keep 'em coming (here!) and next week I'll do the answer part.. Woohoo.. Some questions have been quite funny and they 100% made my day, can't wait to answer them.. haha.. Go on over, you know you have a fun one to ask right? Or am I shutting this thing down.... bwahaha.

Okay, enough with that silliness. Since I took on about 100 different projects lately, ie. The girls' bedroom, and playroom, and randomly decided to paint the kitchen, finish the hallway (woohoo! The electrician is here today!! New light WITH a switch, yes please!) and finishing the entryway. That's quite a list, but I get bored easily and seem to be saying to myself, "I'll just add one more thing, here." 'Twitch, I did. I did add one more thing. Which will lead to another.. And, another.. 

Right..the thing, which I added. 

What do you do when you see the PERFECT tablecloth on a blog and fall in love with it 100 times over and RUN to your Target only to find out they don't carry it anymore.

Bummer. 

You go to ebay and pay 3 times as much. But it's love. And, really it seemed affordable at 14.00 a pop, it was 20 something when it was at Target I believe.. But the 14.00 comes with a price, a shipping price. 10.00 bucks. So, 24.00 for a table cloth, finnnne I really wanted it, and in a minute it'll sound cheaper than it was. ha.


I cut that sucker up. 
Yup my pretty table cloth, cut it up.

But there's a method to my madness, and I'll show you right now. Take your mat and figure out which image you want to show, and then pull it up a bit so you can have enough room to make pencil marks that will be hidden under your mat, and give you enough room to tape the fabric to the back.





Once you cut it out, tape and stretch! But not so stretched that your image is wonky. Makes total sense right? Right.. Hope so! A good blogger would have taken a picture of this part.. I didn't.. Feel free to take my status away and give me my rookie card back.

 Here's where the magic happens.

You see, I had this big spot on my bathroom that needed something and if you watch portlandia, you know exactly what it needed.



Put a bird on it.


 I didn't even iron them. I was too excited when it came yesterday in the mail. If you do this, please iron it. If I get a burst of energy I'll take them down and iron them, but they were kind of a b-word putting them up, so I'm not sure if I want to waste 4 more hours of my life just getting them to GO on the HOOK! Which is what I was yelling at it yesterday. Why so difficult? Gah.

Let's just hope the steam from the shower smooths it on out. ;) That's the best part of this, if it gets ruined, I have plenty more birds to choose from with my 70 inch fabric and they weren't too expensive. I put another fella above the toilet but it's horrible to photograph so, don't judge.


So, for 24.00 (+14.95 for the third frame let's not count that, ha.) that's not too bad If you figure I got three prints out of it that's only 8.00 pc. And I have a ton more fabric, so I could make a pillow, or shirt even. ha. What wouldn't look better with a bird on it, right?

There you have it, that's my little addition in the bathroom. Now I think it needs a bath rug, and something on the little table next to it. Here we go again.

*Winks* Happy Tuesday Friends!
