  Step 1

  This boring Ikea bookshelf was in our tiny bathroom to store towels.

• 

  Step 2

  I went around town to some paint stores and grabbed as many paint stirrers as the folks would provide...

• 

  Step 3

  Luckily no cutting was involved as these fit the dimensions of my shelf perfectly, so I just glued them in place with a very strong glue and weighed them down with books overnight to dry.

• Step 4

  I wanted them to have an aged white washed look at first so I gave one coat of gray stain and then went back over with a dry brush alternating white and blue acrylic paint. But I didn't love it.

• 

  Step 5

  So I taped off some stripes and started measuring a graphic triangle pattern.

• 

  Step 6

  I used white craft paint and free handed the triangles.

• 

  Step 7

  This graphic pattern on top of the stain/ wash is SO much more fun and JUST the little bit of pattern I needed in this corner of our bland bathroom.

• 

  Step 8

  I screwed some holes and hung two basic hooks so there's a place for our towels when we're in the shower.
