Polka Dotted Ceiling

Beautiful, glorious-gold, kate-spade-inspired polka dots make me happy!

Getting a polka dotted ceiling project done in less than 20 minutes makes me even happier!

Thanks to the wonderful Land of Nod this was the quickest project to date in my girl’s bedroom.  These are removable decals!  They’re $24.95 for a set of 48 three inch dots, and I needed 3 packs because of the giant size of her ceiling.  I thought about possibly diy’ing them with some gold metallic paint and and a large round sponge applicator instead of spending $75.  But, when I added up the cost of gold paint plus the primer and paint I’d need when I was ready to say goodbye to the dots the comparison was a wash.  I think when you’re adding an element like polka dots to a design you have to consider the cost of removal as well.  With these decals, when the time comes to remove these dots (although, I don’t see that coming anytime soon), all I’ll have to do is peel the decals off and we’re right back to square one.  No priming.  No painting.

They went up in less than 20 minutes (which means I don’t have a neck cramp! that alone was worth the money spent)……….and it will probably take even less time remove them.

I love them!  And so does she!  These dots come in silver and white too, but we’re both partial to the gold!

They are so much prettier in person.  It’s hard to really capture they way they shine when the light hits them.   They add the perfect touch of whimsy.  The very best part is how much my girl loves them!  She says they make reading in bed feel fancier.  😉

Here’s a run-down of all the projects that have been completed in her room so far.

Someday it will be done – right?  Next project in her room will be curtain panels.  I’ve already started them and am hoping to finish them up this week!  Woohoo!

  • I would probably agonize over the spacing of them while putting them up on the ceiling, but it looks like you did a really good job with that! LOVE!

  • that is such a cool idea! i need to get those and find somewhere to put them! (i have a horrible cottage cheese ceiling.)

  • Looks great! I had to come over after I just saw you IG picture.
    I obviously love them too since I used dots in my bathroom. I made mine myself on my silhouette cameo with gold wall grade vinyl. Was also super easy!

  • Adore the dots. And way to go for thinking ahead! I totally would have painted them on and then grumbled non-stop when it came to painting over them. She's so stinking adorable sitting there reading 🙂

  • Gorgeous!! I agree, the price was well worth the convenience (& the look of perfection). You're making me want these for Quinn's big girl room some day.

    When did your baby get so big?!! She's just darling.

  • Ooooh YES! Love love love it! I am already spinning my wheels trying to figure out where I could do something similar in our home. So darling and chic, what a lucky little lady. That pink dresser is pretty incredible as well!

  • This turned out beautifully! And since I have a Silhouette Cameo, my head is spinning with idea for adding vinyl not just to walls, but ceilings, too! That gold is gorgeous. Whimsical indeed.

  • why no crown molding? i think rooms look so builder's grade and unfinished without crown molding! is it just me!? because this room looks great but just needs some crown molding!

  • So cute! I pinned them and might even try to convince my husband to do it in our room, I need some more glam in there without making it too cheesy:)

    I made vinyl dots myself with my Cameo machine for our guest room walls, but buying them is so much easier!

  • When I saw this on instagram I thought you painted. I'm so relieved – that would have been a neck breaker. They turned out so cute – love!

  • Wow, that ceiling is fabulous!! You are so right too about considering the removal when doing something like that – thanks for pointing it out. I've got this linked to my polka dots post too today, for inspiration!

  • I bought it on ebay years ago – like maybe 6 years or so. It was a handmade item. It has 6 layers of pink tulle over a pink cotton ruffle. I don't think this ebay seller is still there, she may have moved over to Etsy though.

  • I'm in love with your daughter's room! Is her ceiling textured? I am trying to duplicate the look using gold adhesive vinyl and my cameo machine, but I'm not sure I'm loving the metallic against our textured ceilings. Wonder if the Land of Nod stickers would be any thicker?
