From the MD-Canvas.com FAQ page:

"Q: Is it waterproof?

A: No - You can't hang it in your shower..."

So it's probably not a great idea to hang these in steamy bathrooms in general.

agree with spossberg... can't help but think you could do the same thing with a good ruler, an art store canvas, and some acrylic paint.

i'm not understanding how canvas is more steam-proof than wallpaper. if anything, isn't it more porous?

There are many place on the web where you cn buy outdoor art. I assume this art will work just as well in the bathroom.
Here is one site:

Woops! My mistake, because these are printed onto each canvas and not sealed, they aren't safe for humid bathrooms, but a normal piece of fabric stretched over canvas would still work better than paper...And I do agree with spossberg that this would be a fun diy project!

what I love most about AT is that the very thing that's foremost on my mind at any given time inevitably shows up as a feature. luv.

hmm.... has anyone tried a cloth shower curtain in a frame? already waterproof....i might diy it and see how it turns out....

for some easy bathroom "art", i covered cheap canvases with fabric. they came out pretty well and only took about a half hour to do, and they held up well with the humidity.

... curious - none of the photos are of bathrooms ...
