polka dot hallway

Yep, you read that right! We now have a polka dot hallway! We love it.. it is just so fun! I desperately needed a spring break project.. somehow, this ended up it! ha! The polka dots kind of snowballed into a few other projects.. including spray painting the kids table with chalkboard paint, and hanging...

kristy.lynn - we are in the process of buying a new house that needs oodles of cosmetic work, the owner apparently had a split personality… one that loved modern, parisian cafe style in some parts, and old fashioned, farmhouse style huge tacky 1990s horrid mauve and teal wallpaper in other parts. i have been pinning your blog like a mad woman for inspiration! i LOVE LOVE LOVE the polka dot wall & how it ties in with that black wall, and I have LOVED your script canvas ever since you first posted! any tips you have on your approach to decorating would be much appreciated, as our old house was totally functional (and TINY) and never really was decorated.April 10, 2013 – 6:25 am

Shavonda @ AHomeFullOfColor - This is so amazing! I absolutely love it:) Its so bold, yet chic and a bit classic at the same time. Thans so much for sharing.April 11, 2013 – 12:47 am

iralee - i saw you on ABM and i have fallen in love with your space. i have gray walls, white trim, and lots of black furniture. and i’ve been feeling very blah with it lately. i want to just paint all the walls white and start over. bc i really want it to be rustic and filled with lovely things from nature. but i didn’t know how i could pull it off with the gray. then i saw this and BAM! i knew it was possible!!! this space is beautiful!January 22, 2013 – 7:49 am

skullmadmama - New liker from ABM, we have a very similar lounge but seeing yours has given me more inspiration to make it better. I commented about the brick wall thinking it was wallpaper as was looking on my phone at the time! Now I see it’s brick but I must find paper to replicate it as at the moment the wall is just black!
Love your whole house xxJanuary 22, 2013 – 1:39 pm

Carly - Oh WOW! I love the tweaked room look! It’s just perfect for a growing little girl. Gorgeous!December 10, 2012 – 12:13 pm

Carly - Oh I forgot to say the paint colour looks like what we have up on our walls, ours is Titanium OC-49 by Benjamin Moore. Might be worth checking out to see if it’s a match, but it all looks great whatever colour it is! :-)December 10, 2012 – 12:26 pm

Jenna at Homeslice - Awesome! I loved this room before (it’s how I ran into your blog in the first place) and I love it now- you’ve definitely made it just a tad more grown up- perfect for an 11 year old, I’m sure. Beautiful job! How fun that she cares so much about her space, I love that.December 10, 2012 – 2:17 pm

Brittany - Oh my gosh! where were you when i was 11?? its a georgous room, i love your slightly woodsy spin on everything you do, its so unique and wonderfully put together. i love love love it!!! i’m trying to pick something that is my favorite but its hard to do! the houndstooth pillow is fantastic, and the sweet little birds on her chair are so whimsical! if i ever get a little girl, this room will definately be a huge source of inspiration!! thank you SOO much for sharing, you are just amazingly talented!!December 10, 2012 – 8:43 pm

Katie - Lovely job! Perfect for a tween – only one tasteful boy band poster hahaha. Love the mixture of lights and darks and the fact that the room still has an overall light feeling.

My favourite part? I love that you used spray paint to perk up pieces that you already own! I’m stopping to pick up some paint on my way home today! Thanks for the inspiration.December 11, 2012 – 9:15 am

Hawwa - OMG PLEASE DECORATE MY ROOM FOR ME!!! Haha it’s amazing!! :DJanuary 22, 2013 – 6:06 am

Christine - Just beautiful! Can’t wait to find out what the wall color is =). It is the perfect color for this room. And thinking it would work beautifully in my daughter new room too. I will stay tuned when you post the color =).January 24, 2013 – 7:18 pm

Amy - Love both versions of her room! I know it’s probably awhile ago now but if you remember where you got the pink ruffled cushion, I’d love to know as I’ve been searching everywhere for similar without any luck. thanks :)February 18, 2013 – 8:24 pm

side table re-do.. » dearest someday… - [...] I did find a few different mint green choices though. I went with leftovers from Laine’s bedroom project and painted it the same colour we painted her side table. The yellow was fine.. but when it [...]January 22, 2013 – 2:20 pm

Butterfly kisses | Natas Do Ceu - [...] We are in a transition phase with my daughters room. She is 8 and has outgrown the pink ruffles that I decorated with for the first 8 years. In redecorating we have compromised on butterflies and fairies. I have started with an accent wall of butterflies. I was inspired by some pins I saw on Pinterest where they used paper butterflies on the walls in this pretty room over at http://www.dearestsomeday.com/2012/12/10/home-tour-laines-bedroom-tweak/.

home tour: main floor half bathroom

A few weeks ago, I decided it was time to finish up.. ummm, I mean start to decorate/pull together this little half bathroom on our main floor. Seriously, there was not a thing done to it. No decor at all. A stool.. a towel, and some soap was all that was in here. So boring....
