polka dots

 i have finally finished my daughter’s room. (cue the trumpet) i literally thought it would take last summer and be done. but i wanted to make some new pillows…and (cause i’m insane) decided to make my daughters comforter…. and i finally finished it… (basically cause i was hosting bunco and didn’t want everyone to see it in it’s current state…..

so this week is girl’s bedroom week with a finale at the end of the finished product!!!!!

so we will start with the gray polka dots that i posted over at the diy club…

I taped the stencil up….and got down to business

 (the nantucket mist looks crazy light but dries darker!) I used my little roller from cutting edge..it is the perfect size for these stencils!!!!

I just worked my way across the room…..

I actually did two full walls…..and it really didn’t take me that long!

 it looks like a ton more work than it really is! the corners are a little hard to get around…..but the cutting edge blog has a great tutorial on how to work around a corner (you can go HERE)

or you could get a little colorful and make yourself a work of art!

AND….  i got this cool little polka dot stencil from decorart and recovered the top of a shelf/barbie house. 

it was really easy…and i did the whole top really fast….
