I’m so excited to show you my daughters room makeover!
She’s 10 years old, she loves pink and green, and she wanted a….
…polka dot wall!
I placed the polka dots in a random pattern and used vinyl dots so they could easily be removed! We used the Silhouette machine and premium white vinyl with a 5 inch circumference for each dot. So simple!
I’m in the process of making white ruffle curtains, thus the bare windows!
Let me show you the rest of the room….
I can’t believe how much the polka dots add to her room! We chose to do one wall and the rest a light green color so the polka dots didn’t overwhelm the space.
I also snagged a silver chandelier from IKEA and painted it white to spice it up!
This adds such a “girly” touch to her bedroom!
Next up?
The duvet cover.
I decided to use bright pink sheets instead of white for a pop of color! Oh, and see those li’l pillowcases? My daughter made those in her sewing class all by herself…she loves to sew and she’s great at it!
More polka dot love? I had to have these white polka dot sheers for her canopy bed {purchased at Walmart}.
She really wanted a cork board so we used this frame I had in the basement. We painted it bright pink, glued some cork on the wooden insert, and she’s ready to pin away!

The polka dots look great. The size is just right. All those little touches are making it so fun. Shh! I am a fan as well. I just don’t my girls to know.

How adorable! I LOVE this. It turned out so cute. I love the duvet cover too.

Thanks Kara! The duvet cover was so much easier to make than it looks, too!
Nancy says
So darling! I LOVE the idea of vinyl polka dots!! I’ll admit, I’m a One Direction fan too– thanks to my daughter :).
Kari Sweeten says
Yes, we can remove the dots anytime if we want to change things up…would be great for renters, too!
My 4 year old begs to watch the One Direction You Tube videos and I don’t mind 🙂
Maru says

The tucks seem to be smaller than the links model. Did you mark your ticks at 12″ or?
Kari Sweeten says
Yes, I just used my ruler and measured out 12″…oh you are good!

I LOVE the room! The vinyl polka dots are a wonderful idea. I love the shade of green you chose for the walls!! We have been searching for the perfect green for our girls room. What brand/color is it?!! Thanks for sharing!!
Nina Johnson says
Loooooove! I was just redecorating my daughters room and wanted a simple way to jazz it up without painting. This is it!
Keesha says

Kari Sweeten says
Hey Keesha,
They are actually two shades of green but since this photo was taken I painted it all one color of green and it looks much better. I’ll update the photo asap!! Thanks for your comment!
