I have always been a fan of intricate designs and stenciling in home decorating. But I have neither the talent, the time, or the money to hire someone to do a mural on my walls. My friend, Ruth, had an awesome mural done on her son’s room before he was born. It is now her daughter’s room. She went with a “Winnie the Pooh” theme which is great for a little boy or girl. Can you believe that it is all paint on those walls. It’s amazing, and I’m sure it took a ton of time to create.
I’m one of those people who is constantly changing my mind about the decor in my home. Angry Husband always knows when I’m “up to something”. I get that look when I’m walking around the house. I stop and focus on something, then I head to my computer. I usually end up looking for a certain piece of furniture, artwork, or paint.
I have recently discovered decorating with vinyl, and I’m in love. I can put up a design made with vinyl on my walls, and I know that it is not permanent. They are also relatively inexpensive. There are now companies that sell these vinyl designs, along with small independent shops like the ones on Etsy. I’ve bought all of my vinyl on Etsy which is a fabulous place and it’s supporting small businesses.
“Welcome” on our front door from Decal Monograms
You can barely see it, but there is a Etched Glass Vinyl Monogram from Decal Monograms on this towel holder.
With a big circle of light from my flash, here is my Macbook. The “Julie” is from Decal Monograms and the birdie is from Urban Expressions. The birdie is actually a test vinyl decal sent from the seller when I purchased the design below.
This is another preview of Angry Kid’s bedroom. Yep, we used the word “kill” on an almost five year old’s room. The decal is from Urban Expressions.
