{Seriously. He's licking it. Willy Wonka was right.}
Our little whim wham family has been in the new-old house going on four months now, which is plenty of time to get unpacked, settled in and have the cupboards fully stocked and memorized.
We even have our favorite corners to pile up dirty laundry and secret drawers to stack junk mail.
The true definition of mi casa.
Of course, the main reasons to cross those t's and dot those i's on our mortgage papers were things like, "wall decor", "linens", "paint swatches", and "tchotchkes!"
{Daniel, I'm speaking for the both of us on this one, right?}
I'll admit, it has been slow going with time/budget/motivation in tiny bursts here and there.
{"ONE ROOM AT A TIME!" is my new life motto
as I scour Craigslist for Restoration Hardware knockoffs}
Although, this morning's french press left me full of unbridled energy to DIY.
Something. Anything.
Bedroom Wall. I pick you!
Slowly and randomly, the house is becoming our home.

{I'd share the polka dot "tutorial," but it's so easy a caveman could do it and if I tell you, you'll write it down in your diary and laugh about it later. BUT, if you reallllly want to know my super secret $6 polka dot wall keys to success, email thewhimwhamlife@gmail.com and I'll let you know. Shhhhh}

As pathetic as this may sound, the main reasons I want to buy a house sooner rather than later are so that I can decorate (and paint!) and have a garden (with maybe a chicken coop and fresh eggs...). That last one is really showing mu SF hippie influence, huh? ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely!!

Totally swooning over those dots. xxx
ReplyDeleteSo cute! And I love the Willy Wonka reference! Haha.
ReplyDeleteLove that polka dot wall! We built a new house about 5 months ago and it's still pretty bare. It's like my husband doesn't want to spend thousands of dollars decorating it. Weird, right? So we do the same thing...one room at a time, or wall, or perfect accessory, whatever! (and I am so not a patient person!) Did you stencil your polka dots or stamp them? Share your secrets!
ReplyDeletep.s. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog AND leaving a comment! It means so much to me! :)
SO pretty!! i love how calming it looks.

ReplyDeletethe polka dot wall is so cute! i keep seeing all those "gold" polka dot wall stickers all over pinterest and i really want to do it. i'm afraid it might be the husbands breaking point tho haha.
