MY DIY | Wooden Bath Mat & Bathroom Styling

DIY PROJECT

I am back with another fun styling project! A month back I had the opportunity to check out the Kohler headquarters and put my styling spin on one of their bathrooms. Being a Wisconsin girl, I was absolutely on board with supporting such an amazing company, with such beautiful products. Plus, my prom was at the American Club in Kohler, so I got to take a little trip down memory lane…

The project was to take an almost blank slate bathroom, that was decked out in Sterling Plumbing’s storage shower, and add some DIY and design elements. I wanted to bring a little more natural wood into the space, so started by heading to the hardware store to pick up some cedar to create a custom bath mat. After having the guys at the store cut down the wood to size, this project was super simple, and great for creating a mat that fits your room. Next, I wanted to play off the tile, and bring in some more reds, pinks and teal. Then, soften up the space with some wicker baskets and greenery. Done! Now, if only I could have a bathroom this size in real life #goals.

What you need:
2 in. x 4 in. x 8 ft. Prime Cedar Wood 
Wood glue
Minwax Satin Water-Based Polyurethane

What to do:
Cut the pieces to fit your desired size: 9 long horizontal pieces, 3 vertical pieces (or have the nice people at the hardware store do it for you.)
Lay out your three vertical pieces, and then the 9 horizontal pieces on top, with a half an inch space between each.
Next, glue down each horizontal piece and let dry for an hour.
Paint with a water proof stain, and let completely dry overnight.
