The bike shower curtain and bathroom!

The bike guest bathroom was completed last night just in time for my first go at hosting family Christmas for about 15 people later this month.

The curtain (sewed by my talented mom):

Very cool!

The shower curtain is really cute and the photos say it all! I'll bet everybody came out of there laughing, and checking for their phone.

Did you cover that switch plate yourself or did you find it somewhere?

At first I thought your TP holder was from the gynecologist's office.

Love your new shower curtain and the photo w/caption above the toilet. That's wonderful! My mom sold cell phones for 13 yrs and said it's amazing how many people lose their phones in toilets - I think I'd just have to report mine as lost or stolen rather than tell someone I dropped it in a toilet! ~lol~

Ha! I worked for a pager company for 6 years. Same story. BUT.... if you were lucky (? :eek:) and retrieved the pager, it could be "blow dried" back to a working pager most of the time. But .... eeeewwww!!!!!

Great decorating Aggie! LOVE the curtains and the photos! Nice job.

That is so awesome!! I love it!! Now you got me thinking about redecorating our bathroom - bikes are sort of permeating every room of our house already - why not the bathroom? Very cool!!

Thanks everyone, that tiny bathroom is definitely one of my favorite projects. The idea was jingling in my head since before we closed on the house two years ago!

Getting the stuff together took longer than decorating. I had to get the Park Tool TP Holder (no I did not steal something from the gyno-lol) off Craigslist in another state! The sewing didn't take long but my mom had to wait to have time, so I have had the fabric 3 months. The pictures I had to go on a wonderful vacation to get. :)

There are a couple more things to add like bike embroidered towels and a soap dispenser that has presta valves for the base but it is mostly done.

I found it on Ebay but it seems to be wrapping paper or fabric that has been shellaced. It definitely could be done by anyone, I thought I was buying something printed on plastic but it was cheap so I didn't care when it came in and was different.

I am a little slow to get moving on projects, didn't know who would remember me asking about the curtain! The finished result made me happy, other than Lowe's mixing the paint wrong. It is the color of the bathroom at my pre-school I hated. That bugs me, it was supposed to be brighter yellow but the color works just not what I wanted. :rolleyes:

I dropped one in a port-a-potty and will never live it down. That photo was snapped as some guy walked by and said "You really want that as your back drop?" We are startled but DH looks annoyed, too funny!
