Pattern Love-DIY

With planning in the works for our new place...

I've decided patterned walls are a MUST.

I'm going to be doing a couple different walls in the house..

and here are some photos I used for inspiration! 

I loved the richness and glamour they add to the space.. 

and some of them are so whimsical and fun!

A little pattern (big or small) can add a wow factor to any room. 

You can get these looks with stencils, painters tape or stamps!

It gives it a designed and styled look for cheap! 

Not feeling that crafty? 

you can try and track down some inexpensive wall paper. 

(but good luck..i'm on the hunt right now!.seems like all my faves are in the uk. and that is not in the budget for this busy budgeting mama... any advice ladies??)

Don't these rooms just make you swoon?! Love.

follow the links for the images above them.

I'm still trying to decide which stencil company to go with for some of the designs.. but i'll be doing a stripe in the girls room..and I think our dining room will have this DIY painted wallpaper... You can download the stencil here..gifted to us all by the lovely jonesdesigncompany.com
