The Powder Room!

Hey, so...guess what? I'm about done for now with the powder room. Well, the marble vanity top is still in the works but that might still take a while.

I'm happy with it for now.

Do you want to see?

Let's look at this picture first:

Can you guess what I did? 

I changed my mind a little again!

Yup, the dots are on the ceiling

And I love it. I really do!

Sorry Mom!

She told me not to do it because she thought it was stupid.

I didn't listen. 

The reason is that I felt it was too busy next to the mirror. But on the ceiling, it draws your eyes up. Thin stripes on the walls and polka dots on the ceiling. Perfect combo in my book.

{UPDATE: The dots are now available in my Etsy store!

Some people might share my mom's opinion but I don't really care because I'm happy with it.

I think next week I will have a post about what she all doesn't like, haha! 

She is my toughest critic and I love her for that because nobody else would tell me their opinion as blunt as she does. It'll be a funny post

My Lowes mirror makeover (click on link or picture to see the post)

It is really hard to take good pictures in this tiny room that doesn't have any windows. 

So cut me some slack, ok?

my medicine cabinet makeover

I'm going to call it my sharpie room because the lines are Sharpie as well. For the mirror and the walls I only needed two water-based Sharpies! After reading Mandy's (Vintage Revivals) post about her Sharpie wallpaper where she recommends using water based Sharpies so you wouldn't have to prime over it with oil-based primer later, I decided to use water-based as well.
This was so CHEAP, really! Remember the gold paint from Lowes would have cost me around $80.

And here is a before picture. Remember this?

I like it so much better now.

And if you are asking me how I figured out the spacing for the dots, then I have to tell you that after trying to figure it out with my pathetic math skills and failing miserably, I decided to just jump right in and mostly eyeball them.
All I did is place them on each side, measured the middle between the dots...placed the next dot... then measured the middle again, placed another dot... And so on. That's it.
The rest was eyeballed. For real! I did and they turned out great. I'm sure nobody will ever be able to tell that they aren't perfect.
The vinyl was gold metallic (091) Oracal 631 (which is the wall vinyl). I didn't need any transfer paper either. Simple stick and peel!

I love the polka dots so much that I'd like to make another polka dot wall somewhere else! How do you like them?

Stop back on Friday ok, because I have something exciting to share with you!

{Update: I'm planning on selling these gold dots in my Etsy store starting at the beginning of April}

Guten Tag,
