We had our bathroom redone last fall after a rather unfortunate incident with the drywall behind the tile caving in.  We had the shower completely rebuilt and then retiled the bath tub to match and added a new vanity, refinished the cabinets and framed out the mirror to coordinate with the new color and style of the tile.  We have done all most all of the projects up to this point in our home DIY, but with crazy busy schedules and a non functioning shower we decided to bit the bullet and hire out the work this time.

It seemed like it would be so much easier not doing the work ourselves but somehow it never seems to go as smoothly as planned and after an extended timeline, lots of dust, maybe a few tears and lots of dollars spent we ended up with a pretty beautiful shower and bath. However I was done. D-O-N-E.  I knew the walls needed painting and it needed some decor but I just needed a little break from the whole space.

Finally this spring I added these His & Hers wall vinyl wall decals to the towel hooks.  It was a small step.  It was inexpensive, quick, and easy but really made a big difference in the space and bought me some more time to decide what I want to do with the rest of the bathroom.

For the most part it was a straight forward vinyl project, just cut and transfer.  However, I can never let things be too easy… I knew if I was going to put vinyl on the wall it needed to look perfect so I decided that the regular black/white/brown was not going to cut it.  I really wanted to match the oil rubbed bronze finish that I have throughout the bathroom so I decided to make my own oil rubbed bronze vinyl.

What you need:

• Silhouette Machine
• Black Vinyl
• Transfer Paper
• Silhouette Hook – optional
• Oil Rubbed Bronze Spray Paint

I have painted… well… let’s just say a lot of things throughout our home with Rustoleum’s Oil Rubbed Bronze finish spray paint.  You can see how I spray painted my door knobs here, I have also painted light fixtures, cabinet hardware, picture frames, fruit bowls, and well  quite a variety of things.  So why not just spray my vinyl to match?

I decided to cut the vinyl first because I didn’t want to deal with any paint flaking off or getting stuck in the blade.  It turned out to work really well this way.  I designed the text in the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software and cut the text using black Silhouette brand vinyl using the default vinyl settings.  After the vinyl was cut I taped it down to a piece of brown craft paper to keep it from curling on the edges and give me a large surface to spray paint on.

I used the spray paint to do two very thin coats on the vinyl which perfectly covered the surface.  Once the paint was dry I weeded the vinyl leaving only the text of the words that I wanted to transfer and cut the two words apart.

Once your vinyl is ready to go, use transfer paper to pick up the text and transfer it to your wall.  If your walls are textured like mine, make sure to use a Silhouette scraper to go over the text really well so that it will adhere to all the nooks and crannies in the texture then remove the transfer paper.

That is all there is to making this super cute bathroom decor!  A little spray paint, a little vinyl, a few cuts and transfer.  Easy peasy!
