Harper's Nursery- Updated!

When I was pregnant, I purchased these gold polka-dot decals from Land of Nod. I had planned to use them in Harper's closet and bathroom but I decided when they arrived that the dots were a little larger than I had hoped and decided to scrap the project.

A couple of weeks ago, I was visiting Megan and Olivia and saw sweet little polka dots in Olivia's nursery and I was inspired to find smaller gold polka-dots for Harper's nursery.

I found some on Etsy and they arrived within a week of ordering. The timing was perfect because it was fun to update Harper's nursery a little bit for her first birthday (which is on Tuesday---seriously, how did that happen?!)

I'm really happy with how it turned out! I decided to go with two inch polka-dots which I purchased from Allfourwalls on Etsy for the bargain price of $14. You can't beat that, folks. I know some companies have them for twice the price, but believe me, these are high quality and you don't need to spend more.

These were incredibly easy to use. I just applied them randomly--- no measuring, spacing, etc. It's totally a peel-and-stick project that takes less than 30 minutes. 

The best part? They don't ruin your walls and are easy to remove if you make a mistake. I decided to just do one wall in her room, but you could do an entire room if you wanted to. I also LOVE how Erinn used gold polka-dots in her daughter Kenley's nursery closet.

We have textured walls in our entire house (not my favorite, but it's common in townhomes where I live) so I was worried the texture would cause the decals not to adhere or look bad, but they look fantastic.
