    Yelloow Jersey Bathroom...

    We completely gutted our bathroom earlier this year. While not completely bike-themed, I have dubbed it the "yellow jersey" bathroom. Walls are painted Bicycle Yellow - not making it up - that's the name of the paint color we chose! I also framed a couple of Graham Watson prints, including one of the sunflowers and another of the Col de Lautaret.

    Love the fabric for the shower curtain though! Have fun with it.

    p.s.
    The bicycle yellow paint came from Home Depot and is Behr brand.

    I found the fabric here. I may make my guest room some bike throw pillows and window toppers. My mom made us a wonderful set of shams and throw pillows for our master bedroom. I wonder how much sewing I can get for free?

    We are planning to buy one or two Graham Watson prints for the guest bath! Thanks for the tip on the paint. I am going to pick up a color chip at lunch.

    Or you bicycle room! I have to do my study first, then I will be starting on this project. There may not be pictures for a couple months.

    Last time I was browsing on e-Bay I saw the paper wrapper from a Campagnolo cogset- from the 70's- ( It was sort of a sleeve that the cog set would have been slid into for shipping ) It was extremely cool- If you like retro looking stuff

    I thought it was suitable for framing- almost bid on it for a friend I mine that belongs to the church of Campy- I'm just a shimano girl!

    I had to resurect this thread as I'm doing the same thing! We moved into another house a couple months ago and have decided to decorate the guest bath with a bicycle theme. I've already painted the walls bright yellow and we have lots of bicycle stuff to hang on the wall and we just got the toilet paper holder. But still searching for a shower curtain. Has anyone seen anything lately? My mom does sew so I may get some fabric. I think a big wheel shower curtain would look neat.

    Here are some very cool bicycle-themed fabrics:


    Just type in Bicycle in the Search function:

    Tulip- An Aggie study and one Aggie thing in my kitchen is plenty. I love A&M but I don't want to look like a book store. My husband's friend's house is the same way, everywhere a little knick knack, photo, etc.... We painted our study half maroon and I am wondering how hard it will be to paint over down the road if we move.

    We may be switching gears on the shower curtain fabric. I found one that is blue with white bikes. I little more subtle, matches the existing towels and leaves more paint options. Not sure yet as DH hasn't seen it. I am also still on my maddening quest for the Park TP Holder. I posted a wanted ad on Craigslist (hoping) and bid on one on Ebay. I don't have luck with Ebay so I am doubtful.
