Whimsical Decor Ideas: Part 1

Whimsy is unexpected, intriguing, magical, even mysterious. Creating a home with your personal style, with layers and details takes time. We’ve lived in this house for six years and here are some ways I’ve tried to add a touch of whimsy.

I use a lot of animals in my place for whimsy. At an antique shop I bought a ceramic pig, lying on his back and he looks so comical. He is from Germany. I use him as a doorstop and I smile every time I see him. He is so goofy and adorable at the same time!

[@HouseMixBlog]

Oh I love it! We all need some comic relief. He sounds perfect.

[@PrettyKittyPink]

[@judyvarner8254]

I took a wardrobe, removed the drawers inside it, and the back off it, attached it to the wall in front of my library, added faux fur coats and you have to go thru the Narnia wardrobe to go into my library.

[@HouseMixBlog]

I literally gasped when I read your comment! This is the most amazing thing. Do you just let people discover it or do you tell them!? I have to know everything.

[@judyvarner8254]

@@HouseMixBlog I have told a few, but most do not know it’s there,the fireplace in the library also has secret compartments I made under the mantle and around the fireplace. I also have books that are secret hiding places on the shelf mixed with the other books.and a globe that opens to a hiding place.did I tell you the wardrobe is 8 ft tall and I put lions head pull on key holes on the door.

[@HouseMixBlog]

That sounds incredible! Maybe one day I could be on this level! ✨💕

[@kanases]

Wow, the wallpapered rooms are beautiful and displayed so nicely in the open space! I love your home, you’re very artistic ☺️

[@HouseMixBlog]

That's so kind of you so say, thank you!!

[@kanases]

@@HouseMixBlog You’re very welcome!

[@arlenekerr1198]

i love your patio! That dresser is gorgeous, lucky you!

[@HouseMixBlog]

Thank you! I couldn’t believe that the dresser was by the side of the road. You should have seen me trying to drag it home by myself 😂

[@gageiger]

Wonderful!!! Can you pls tell me how you painted the bathroom wall tile. I have some tile I want to paint. Love the mousehole!!

[@HouseMixBlog]

Thank you! Here is the tile painting tutorial: www.housemixblog.com/2019/08/22/diy-painted-pink-ombre-tile-wall/

[@gageiger]

@@HouseMixBlog Thx!! :)

[@mimishope3266]

We had a mouse hole in the kitchen of the old house I bought. At my son's suggestion, I bought a little decorative door and broom. They were gorilla glued over the hole. (The door can't open)

[@HouseMixBlog]

Oh my goodness, that's the cutest!!

[@sheilawatts1975]

[@jenniferbattye4883]

Homes need more whimsy!!

[@HouseMixBlog]

I agree!

[@BraveGirlJudy]

Hi so beautiful! May I ask what kind of paint do u use for the tile in the shower? I’ve been wanting to paint the tile in my bathroom, so bad but I don’t know what to use other than the stuff they have at Home Depot. That is very toxic and smells very bad so I was wondering what you used.

[@HouseMixBlog]

Thank you! There are different ways to paint tile, but I have been using Stix bonding primer + oil based enamel with pretty great results. I hate to say it smells pretty toxic too! 😬

[@donnachevalier7460]

I have been looking into wall paper. I love the one you chose for you bedroom. Do you have a link or the maker?

[@HouseMixBlog]

Yes! It's by Photo Wall :) www.photowall.com/us/woodlands-wallpaper

[@Jayla-dj2gj]

How does paint hold up on shower tile walls?? Would love to do this but if it chipped it would ruin it.

[@HouseMixBlog]

Painted tile is not the same as factory-made tile and is a risk if you need it to hold up for more than three or four years. I painted tile in two of our bathrooms because we plan on remodeling in a few years and they’ve held up well. I have had to patch a couple scratches in our other shower and you really can’t tell. I have a detailed tutorial and 6-month critique here if that helps :) www.housemixblog.com/2020/03/05/how-to-paint-bathroom-tile-floor-shower-backsplash/

[@yadiaag7771]

6 minutes is not long enough 😢

[@HouseMixBlog]

Haha, thank you! Maybe I can try to do a part two this week ☺️
