Tutorial | DIY Boat Oar Wall Decor – Bathroom Renovation

Southern Revivals | Tutorial: DIY Boat Oar Wall Décor with Cottonelle Toilet Paper and Cleansing Wipe Review.

We. Are. Almost. Done

And we’d better be! It’s February and that means it’s time for the second installment of our 12 projects in 12 months in The Revival House Series. {See Jan’s project here}

But you know how projects are. There are so many little details and sometimes, it’s really all about the small things.

And since I believe any well designed room really is about the small things I was excited when I found these great old oars on eBay. Here’s a quick and easy tutorial on dressing these up to give any room some cute, custom detail.

I used acrylic craft paints in my choice of colors: white, gray, navy and red.
First, I blocked off the different color sections with painter’s tape. I applied my first section of paint and waited for that to dry thoroughly (overnight) before applying tape over those painted sections. I continued to block off sections and paint until I had all of the stripes and block painted sections I wanted.

Once they were dry, I hung them using damage-free picture hanging strips. It really was that quick and easy but made such an adorable impact. Now, once it’s finally done our new bathroom will be a cute and comfy place to rest our bums.

See. It really is all about the details.
