a polka dot wall

I have coveted these types of polka dot wall decals for some time. I like the idea that they're not permanent ( I'm always changing things around at home). I like that with decals I don't have to make my mind up about anything that's long term- the thought of having to decide on wallpaper for the kid's rooms would just be too much for me. I could never build a house- too many decisions to be made!

Recently I found this site http://polkadotwallstickers.com/

I bought 60, 2 inch ( that's 5cm-ish ) gold dots for $8.98 US plus $10.99 US shipping ( which came to $25 NZ inc postage). I couldn't find them cheaper anywhere in NZ.

After putting them on a bigger wall and then changing my mind I found out that the stickers came off  really easily and repositioned well too (whew!). We're going for a random look for now but one day I may like to spend the time spacing them out evenly : ).

I've hung the pin board we made together low enough for her to pin whatever she likes on it. Pre-quakes she was just sticking things up with blue tack but now that our walls have a fresh coat of paint she's not allowed!


I love it, it makes us both smile...
