...bathroom wall? I recently painted my bathroom wall and it looks a little boring as it is in magnolia. I therefore want to jazz it up a little- any ideas? If not, then does anyone know where I can buy some CHEAP mosaic flat pieces from that will be easy to stick. And also what to use to stick these pieces as it will be in a bathroom i.e- humidity etc...

I would buy inexpensive ceramic jars, shells and fish from a home decor store (there are typically local ones, Home Goods and smaller), saw them in half (lengthwise) using a power drill with an abrasive (carbide) cutting disk and glue them to the wall with the 7-minute epoxy resin from Home Depot or a comparable store (a bomb-proof glue, really).

Just be careful when cutting the ceramic (use eye and hand protection) and prep the wall with sandpaper for gluing.

If you want to go even cheaper, you can buy seashells by the bag in 99 cent stores and cover part of the wall with it. It will look way cool.
