Beach Bath Redo

The bathroom remodeling is done.... almost. I think we're going to put in a new vanity so until we do that I'm going to wait to paint. But with the Beach Table done and a few more pieces finished up it's looking pretty beachy.

I had this old mirror sitting around so I painted it up

Same color on this little shelf

Add assorted beachy knickknacks

I already had these shelves in there but added
some jars, shells, sand and candles.

Next I took a couple of boards and found these 3 cheap
squares which work perfect

Again, I found some odds and ends

And glued them on the squares

I used epoxy to attach them to the boards

I used some fabric to hang it up

Letter Art... with a twist

The alphabet letter art is huge right now. I wanted to create a more personal one with my soon-to-be new last name! ;)

I realized how light the H and M are once I stepped back and
snapped a photo. I'll have to go back and redo those.

I took pics of some of our important items

W - Our first engagement gift! A large W to display
O - The logo from my Christmas boots Jason bought me. I love them!
O -  I kept a charm that was from the first wedding Jason and I went to.
D - From our WorlD Series tickets from 2011. Go Cards!
H - Stole this image from my Beach Table.
A - From one of Jason's National GuArd bags.
M - Go Mizzou! Jason's favorite college team.

From a previous project I had an extra board and an extra dowel
rod. I purchased a smaller size board to glue to pictures to. I
cut them down to 4x4 inch squares and also cut the dowel rod at
varying lengths.

WEAR EYE PROTECTION! I'm not sure if I didn't have a good
hold of the rod when I was cutting or if there was a bad spot but
my saw kicked this piece up at me. Luckily there was no injury!

Let a piece of Steel Wool soak in Apple Cider
Vinegar overnight. Then scrub your board and
let it dry. Instant aging

I used Contact Cement to glue on the 'nubs'
but eventually I switched to an epoxy. I was
afraid the contact cement wouldn't hold the
weight. It was soaking into the wood too much

Missing a photo here but I printed out my pics and
glued them to my 4x4 pieces of wood. I then glued
the 4x4s to the nubs.

Almost done!

I drilled two holes (equal distance from the sides)
in the top of the wood

Screwed in two eye hooks

And thread some twine through. I went back
and forth 3 times but that adjustable.

Ummm... back to work. Need to fix
the H and M. It'll drive me nuts otherwise.
