Skid-Proof Home Decor

We realized several weeks ago that our shower floor is pretty damn slippery. After nearly everyone in the family had taken a near spill, it became apparent that we needed a solution.

So, we went out and bought some of those non-slip shower stick-on's. We chose the gray butterflies because they were, believe it or not, the least feminine or childish of the choices in shapes. The choices were essentially these:

So, we got home to find that our husband is HORRIFIED by this idea. I guess the image of himself prancing around in the nude atop cute, whimsical butterflies was offensive to his manliness. We quickly got a staunch "no go" on that idea.

Now, however, we were stuck with this whole pack of shower stickers that we secretly thought were kinda cute. And we certainly couldn't return them because they were already opened.

Problem: What to do with those shower stickers we're not allowed to affix to the shower floor?

Solution: Wall art! We discovered that these stickers make really cute, modern wall art that just happened to look really nice on our closet doors.

And the best part is that they're not flimsy so they can be removed multiple times without tearing and they didn't remove any paint or cause any damage to the doors... trust me, I had to move them around for a long time before I got them in a pattern I liked.

Check it:

I can imagine using the more feminine or childish shapes in a child's room, a kid's bathroom or as stencils even.

...Somehow the closet door idea got by Hubby's filter.. maybe it's the lack of walking on them while nude, we're not sure. But, we're so glad we didn't have to throw them away.

PS -- We ended up with what I'll refer to as a "grandma mat" in the bathtub to prevent slipping. Apparently Hubby is comfortable with that idea.
