Follow Your Bliss - Bathroom Accessories

Happy Friday!! I am hopefully on the plane right now to Kawaii but thought that I would leave you with one last post before I left. I wrapped up my bathroom stenciling last weekend and needed a piece of art work to finish things off in there.  Something calm and inspiring...


The board was painted with Annie Sloan Graphite chalk paint and I used  my Silhouette to cut out vinyl for the letter stencil.  Using the negative aspect of the vinyl.  I painted the Bliss with just a blue acrylic paint that I had and the white letters are in Annie Sloan Old White.  The sign kind of ties all of the bathroom colors together.


The edges and lettering were then distressed.


I just attached it to the wall with Command Strips {man, I love those things!}


I also spray painted my towel bar and toilet paper holder with Krylon Premium Original Chrome spray paint {they were more of a bronze color before}  It covered really smoothly and dried super quick.  Hopefully it holds up to bathroom life!


I have been collecting some new accessories for the bathroom over the past couple of months since I had the color scheme all picked out. Here's my little shopping list:
Striped towels - Superstore
Wooden storage bin and baskets - Home Sense
Metal Vase - Wuslu
Turquoise bin {holding the perfume}- Anthropology
Light Fixture - Rona {It wasn't my first pick but it was by far the cheapest at just under $30}
Black Bins - Home Sense


And that about wraps it up for now!

Since we are off to Hawaii, things will be a little slow around here for the next couple of weeks.  I will still be posting the Creative Spark on Tuesday night but, other than that, I am officially on a bloggy break!  {although I have a feeling that I will still be popping in here and there!}
