  3. I just painted some polka dots for my dining room and they were kind of finicky. I used a stencil,but I still had to go around and clean the edges with my black paint. You can see what I am talking about it you go to my blog. You don't have to though.

  5. I love dots, too. That kitchen backsplash is perfect: it combines a traditional color scheme and a whimsical shape.

  6. I am a big fan of polka dots. I used some polka dot material last year as a skirt around our Christmas tree. They just make me smile!

  7. To paint polka dots you can use a cork as a stamp. The trick is not to have too much paint on the cork. Too much paint will make it sloppy and slippery.
