A while ago I finished decorating my bathroom. It has officially become our "cruise" room. We didn't plan it that way, but once we saw the color on the walls, it just fit. I bought the clock at a garage sale, and it reminds me of a porthole.
I acquired this candle and holder collection at the end of a garage sale when they were giving everything away. I painted the holders (and used the same paint on the towel holders), and glued on snail shells. There's a creek bed behind my house and it's covered in all of these snail shells.
We googled how to roll the towel animals and I bought this white towel and hand towel at a thrift store. Admittedly, the elephant's head needs a bit of work. I haven't tried any other animals yet.
I compulsively buy pictures frames for dirt cheap at garage sales, and also claimed a bunch from my grandpa when he was downsizing and moving. I scooped up a bit of sand from our lake and used homemade Mod Podge (the commercial stuff is INSANELY overpriced!) to cover the frames in glue. I gave them all a spray with clear coat paint out in the garage (this was back in December!) to seal it in. I haven't had ANY problems with grains of sand falling off. Then my nephew Ryan made the shell arrangements and I glued them on with the glue gun.
Look at how the color of the wall and the color of the water are an exact match! We love it, and we didn't even do it on purpose!
Ryan is an awesome 8-year-old. I mean, he designed these frames for me AND he knew what DIY means when he saw it on one of my baskets.
