DIY Life

Put down the crowbar, honey. Instead, let's renovate that tacky old bathroom with...stickers? No joke. Check it out: Tile Tattoos, as profiled in Cookie magazine. (Thanks to reader Rachel, for putting us on to these.)

I'm in the midst of planning a bathroom renovation. I'm also painfully aware that one of priciest aspects will be getting professional tiling installed around my new tub. (No, there's no way I'll be attempting that myself.) Do you have outdated kitchen or bathroom tile? Loathe it but can't afford to replace it? Tile Tattoos look like an easy temporary fix even for the non-handy. Why? They are self-adhesive (so no glue required) yet leave no sticky residue when removed. The tiles come in several designs. They are sold in packs of six and are priced at around $16 per set.

Interestingly, the "tiles" are produced by Mibo, a Brit design company founded by a former tv and film art director. Mibo got its start selling spiffy lamp shades, but has since branched out quite a bit, hence these little tile decals. No word if they plan to branch out even further into the exciting world of toilet tattoos.
