My Inspiration? A Boring Toilet Seat!

Sometimes an object as humble as a toilet seat can inspire you to great things. :)
You design a beautiful bathroom, complete with faux bricks, burgundy walls, floral shower curtain, and Old South lace. But then you are left with the “elephant in the room” eyesore — you can’t get rid of it, you can’t really hide it. It’s kind of necessary .... What is this despised object? (cue creepy music) It is, alas, les toilettes — also known as — the toilet.
There it is, sure as you please. It’s not going anywhere, a big blah in the middle of my pretty bathroom. Obviously something needs to done with the blank toilet seat lid, but do we really need to settle for the fuzzy lid cover ... again???
No!! There are other options! Enter “Toilet Tattoos” manufactured by, you guessed it, Toilet Tattoos. They make about a zillion different designs, but I chose “Fields of Grey” as it best matched my bathroom.
They are really simple to apply (just peel and stick), are easily removed (but they stay put when you want them to), and are easy to keep clean. They truly have a “painted on” look.
Look at all the different designs, and that’s just a fraction of them.
Here’s the “after” picture. The toilet is still there, but much prettier, don’t you think, with its tattoo? :)
In the world of DIY, isn’t it funny how sometimes the easiest and cheapest little projects can make the most difference?

Sorry Scarlett Butler - silly me - where I've typed "grey" it should have said "great" 😀

AMAZING!!! and great idea. Can use leftover wallpaper used in our powder room or a coordinating paper/fabric to truly customize the look. Our toilet lid/seats are white wood, but do not see why could not be applied to plastic lids. I would shellac over top to insure it held securely. Love HomeTalking!

Thanks . . . every now and then even a blind squirrel finds an acorn!
