Ever think about vinyl decals for decorating?

AmoroAgain · July 2010

We just put one up on our wall, and I'm in LURVE. I now want to order one for every wall. hehehe

Cool - I like!

jasmineh7777 · July 2010

I can't see the picture.

We just did some on our grey wall, and I really love it.

AmoroAgain · July 2010

Jas, I totally wish we had grey walls. What was yours of?

aMrsin09 · July 2010

OK, that looks pretty cool.

And I am pretty sure aMr is looking at that same sofa. Is it Ikea?

ohwhynot · July 2010

That's really cool! Also: I like your window shade thing.

RachNRich · July 2010

Wow---that actually looks really great; normally I'm not a huge fan of those.

Also, I lurve your couch. Exactly what I want.

laurenclaire1386 · July 2010

That's pretty awesome. Your living room is an Ikea catalogue picture and I dig it. Lots.

mandysmear · July 2010

I am just in the process of getting a custom one made

I got a generic "keep calm and carry on" one at a home store and I love it.

AmoroAgain · July 2010

The couch is from Bolia. The sofas from Ikea are really poor quality. But we definitely have an Ikea bed.

Thanks guys! I'm kinda in love with it. I was worried it might be kinda cheesy, but it doesn't look that way at all.

The window curtains are actually called panels. We have them ghetto rigged right now as we don't have all the right stuff to hang them.

That looks great.

I keep eyeing these on Etsy, but the walls in our apartment are textured, so I don't think it would work for us here.

AmoroAgain · July 2010

Ours have a slight texture to them as well, and it was fine. I guess it depends on the amount of texture.

pirategal03 · July 2010

Hmm, I may have to look into it more. I don't know that I would call what we have a "slight" texture, but I don't have any other textured wall experience to compare it to.

aaaadorable!

temerityjane · July 2010

I love them, but our walls our textured, too.

I'm also afraid to put one up now. We just finally hung pictures yesterday, only to be told to get our list together for moving preferences by tomorrow. I bet if I put up a vinyl decal, someone would tell us to throw what we could into a carry on bag and GTFO. I'm pretty much Murphy's biitch.

wadingmoose · July 2010

We're going to be putting either giant poppies or giant gerberas on our bedroom wall once we get it repainted.

We bought orange lamps on the weekend. They don't go well with the dark teal walls.

jasmineh7777 · July 2010

Mine is a dandelion as well. The room is white with a grey accent wall, and I am in the process of putting up black and white photos. We've lived there two years and have yet to decorate.

My walls look a bit like this:

Anything more and it probably wouldn't work.

Hmmmm. It might work!

FI just walked in and said "why the hell are you holding your computer up to the wall?"

i've considered it, but i haven't been able to find any that i like enough to use. i've seen them in blogs where they can look really cute.

thesuninherhead · July 2010

I think that any potential children will have vinyl decal decorated rooms, but H is not a fan so I doubt they will move beyond bedrooms! Yours is cute, though.

mwhitson14 · July 2010

I love vinyl decals. I have several. I love the ones in this store.

And despite the reactions I got on the board, I still love this:

love. my SIL did this for her house, and I loved the look and will replicate soon when I have some money to actually decorate.
