All I want for Christmas...


After living in our loft for over a year with boring, bare, white walls, we finally took the plunge and had it painted to add some color. Most of the place is painted a nice neutral "latte" color, but husband wanted the two front rooms painted green as well one of the bathrooms painted red. I was on board for the red bathroom, but green happens to be one of my least favorite colors. After 10 pints of sample colors, we finally agreed on a light(ish) sage green color.

It has been three years since the rooms have been painted green and I still can't decide how to decorate "my room" (one of the two rooms is husband's office/studio and the other is mine). I tried adding bookshelves, lights and pictures on the walls, but the room doesn't have the light bright feeling that I wanted.

Last week, I ran across a Pottery Barn Teen catalog and saw these little colorful decals. I haven't ordered them yet (maybe Santa will bring them to me:)), but I think these are the colorful details that will make "my room" have the right feel. I have been newly obsessed with polka dots, but don't want to commit to painting them on my walls. Removable decals sound like the perfect solution.
