Well heeeeey there! Its been a while, I know! I kinda fell off the blogging horse and have been having a tough time getting back up. I wish I had a fantastic story, excuse or mid-life crisis to explain my absence but I don't. Just life, work, kids... same old-same old...
I've been posting on Insta because its a quick fix, but I miss you guys and it's just not quite the same.
Anyway, I have tons to share with you guys, so let's just jump right in. I feel like an epic fail is a great way to start because I don't want any of you making this mistake.
So back in the end of the summer I was working on the boys bathroom, contemplating wallpaper choices when one day I got a wild hair and went at the walls with a navy blue Sharpie.
Dots........................... an endless sea of dots.
It took all day, but I didn't care.
I was full of the "manic idea crazies" and it was going to be great!
And fun!
That was until I learned a horrifying fact.
Sharpies BLEED, like "cut you" bleed.
And cry tears of sadness.
I had no idea.
I've never used them in a bathroom.
It turns out they don't like moisture and steam.
I should have used a paint pen.
So now ya know.
And I'm off to the drawing board again with this room.
Be back soon, I mean it.

my heart breaks, that was so much work! hahaha, I know it's not funny, but sometimes you just have to laugh :)
I would think there would be some type of clear gloss you would be able to apply over it. That's unfortunate it looks really nice! I love the concept!
So sad!! Do you think this would be fine in a bedroom?
I really love the idea you had and it looked great! Like someone said before maybe a clear gloss would have held it. Good luck on the redo, I'm sure it'll be just as good!!
Katie, I think this would be fine in a bedroom... as long as you don't splash any water in there. I've seen Sharpie on walls before, I guess just never in a bath. I've also learned there are two types of Sharpie... water based and permanent (I checked mine, they were permanent). I am going to do a test with acrylic and oil sealers to see if either will save this, I'll keep you posted.
Only you Danika...only you!!!
