I want a BIKE shower curtain!

[Aggie_Ama]

DH and I have agreed to decorate our guest bathroom with a cycling theme. We want to buy the Park Tools Toilet Paper holder. The next thing would be a shower curtain that has bikes. Anyone ever seen one? Maybe even some bike fabric, my mother is pretty talented with sewing.

I was considering getting a framed bike print or stenciling a bike on the wall. Then I just need to find some towels, but I bet a can get some embroidered locally.

I want one, too!

Maybe your mom could make a fabric one for you and you could hang it with a clear shower curtain liner?

Which toilet paper holder?

There are all sorts of bike prints here:

I was once told that any Aggie worth his or her diploma had an Aggie-themed bathroom. Is your bike bathroom going to be in maroon and white, by any chance?

This topic is just the "off-topic" bit of frippery to take my mind off of heavier matters this morning. Thanks for that.

Thanks for the link. Looks like a lot of neat stuff. I think since we both have blue bikes the bathroom should be blue! We haven't picked a color palette though.

We are going to have an Aggie themed study. I have had it planned for a couple years. Bright white chair rail, maroon below. Above the chair rail the wall will be white. That is the area we will hang our diplomas and maybe a print or our engagement photos (taken at A&M).

Here is the TP Holder. If you notice you open the quick release to load the paper. We saw it at one of the local bike shops in the bathroom and had to have one!

What about painting the bike theme onto a clear plastic shower curtain? Maybe just tire tracks? Or a silhouette of bikes?....Or a helmet where your head would be if you were standing in there? heehee...

Sounds like a great plan either way - I'll be mentioning this idea to my own DH....

Namaste,

for my husband's bday 2 years ago i surprised him with bicycle print curtains in his office.
I can't sew, so i paid a 20 something 50 bucks to make them.

he loves them!

Great fabric design Aggie! Go for it! Sewing can't be too hard. If you bike a straight line, you can sew a straight line.

Another idea is to buy clear plastic ..that would be used to cover tables temporarily. Punch some gromlets (ie. holes then with a metal ring inside) and...buy a sort of acrylic paint tubes that dry with a clear smooth water repellant finish.. and use a brush to paint the bicycle(s).

I'm certain any extensive art store with all sorts of acrylic gels, this can be done.


I vote mimitabby to produce tons of these for us..and sell them ..

Tatormc, thank-you for reviving this thread! I've been purchasing bicycle themed knick-knacks for the last couple of years but they were scattered around my old apartment randomly so the pieces didn't really work. Now that I have room to display them in one area(kitchen/family), they look great. I think I need a couple of prints, though, to complete the look. Hmmm....<rubs chin> Me thinks some bicycle curtains would be fabulous too.

I like it, Aggie! My cousin went to A&M and her WHOLE HOUSE is one big Aggie place. I mean, maroon and white EVERYWHERE, with pictures of the bonfire on several walls (when they still did that before the tragedy), rugs, towels, napkins, everything. And it's a BIG house in the Woodlands--huge!

Being a kindof French person, I also like that the fabric you chose is in French. Nevermind that it's not quite right grammarwise, it still rocks! Love the quick release TP holder, too. Please let us know how it turns out (pictures!)
