before and after


Allison was the lucky girl when we moved in to have floor to ceiling wallpaper. She said first thing, "blue is a boys color I want a pink room!" We started peeling and weeks turned into months...along with holidays and other things taking time...we just finished. We found a nice color wall underneath. (The inside of the closet should have warned us, the picture doesn't show just how bad it was!)

Allison choose her princess pink and was sure she wanted rainbow polka dots all over the walls. I kept trying to convince her white polka dots were what she wanted, she wouldn't have it. Then she decided she wanted them small all the same size. My parents were here to help figure out ways we could get dots on the walls. We considered painting them using a marshmellow, sponge, stencil, but we finally went for some vinyl dots which had to be punched from the bigger ones I had bought. Here it is
