When the bathroom makeover turned into a bathroom makeover – ya know – when I removed the popcorn ceiling and that turned into a pink ceiling and that turned into needing new wall paint and then it just all turned into a full on makeover?
Well anyway, what I really really really wanted in the space was some of the Beverly Hills Hotel banana leaf / palm wallpaper.
I didn’t want it over all the walls – just like one.
But even that was outta my league – too pricey.
I really wanted to bring some of that green into my bathroom though. Let’s be honest, I love green. We all know this. There are hints of it in the living room and kitchen, and I wanted to keep that going in the bathroom.
So I searched. I searched high and low, far and wide, for some type of banana leaf / palm leaf / whatever art print.
And everything was out of my price range.
‘Cause let’s face it – I’m cheap.
And then one day I was sitting on the couch and thought to myself, “Self, you should just download that Waterlogue app that was all the rage a few months back and make your own art.”
Self responded, “YES.”
So self bought the app – she thinks it was $3 or so.
Then self went outside and took photos of her own banana tree leaves that she scored at the Haven Conference.
And then she ran them through the app.
And she had beautiful banana leaves watercolors that she used in her bathroom and is sharing with you.
There are four here for you to enjoy and use however you so desire.
(Find out how to download the art at the end of the post.)
I ended up only using one. I framed it and hung it above the towel rack in my bathroom. There simply wasn’t room for more in the space. Don’t worry though – I’m sure they will show up in other rooms soon.
I suggest printing them out in a matte finish – it will help keep that watercolor look.
You can totally just print them out on your printer, but I opted to print them out via a photo service. I think I used Snapfish.

These are so pretty, Jenna!! Will you be sharing a picture of how it looks in your bathroom?
Thanks for sharing the love!!
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Thanks, Selene! There is a photo in the bathroom makeover of the one I framed. Its not very good though – photographing a tiny bathroom is SO hard and then try to keep from getting glares on things that are framed makes it even harder!
Jenna says
Love these! Thank you for giving them to us. As an Android user, I’m super bummed I can’t use the Waterlogue app. 🙁 So I’ll just live through you..
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Oh boo, Jenna! If it makes you feel any better, this is the only thing I’ve used them on. I should really do more with it! I hope you enjoy these though – I do love a good watercolor!

Hi! I love these prints, and am quite impressed by how you made them! I’ve signed up via email, so that I could download/print them. (Am hoping to print them for my soon arriving 1st niece’s nursery). However, even having signed up I’m having trouble accessing them! Help, please! Thanks!
Lacy says
Apparently I’m just incredibly impatient. Figured it out!!
Jenna says
Awesome, Lacy! Glad you got it to work!
Amy N Stumpf says
Would really like to use these in my bathroom. I filled out the email form, got your link, and clicked on it. The link sends me back to resubscribe and I don’t get access to the prints =(
