Seriously, I love polka dots. It’s kind of an obsession. They are fun and classic all at the same time, and thanks to Kate Spade (my fav!) and other designers of our day, glam too! So if you’re looking for a DIY way to bring more charm and whimsy to any room, as well as a stylish update, try these projects with polka dots! Don’t blame us if you become hooked though. As far as I know, there are no 12-step programs for polka dots. 🙂
