ADD SPUNK TO YOUR HOME THAT YOU CAN PEEL OFF WHEN YOU GET BORED WITH IT.
When my husband and I were expecting our first child, we were anxious to come up with a fun design for the nursery. After scouring Houzz and other sites for pictures, we came up with a non-pastel color scheme that we liked: mint green, red, brown and white. (Trust me, it works.) Then the question was, what do we put on the wall to add some fun and whimsy that doesn’t cost a fortune? Somehow we came upon the idea of wall decals. No need to purchase expensively-framed pictures or to drill holes into our crumbly plaster walls. Awesome.
We bought a few different little scenes that tied into the nursery’s color scheme and we were hooked. Unfortunately, we took the old ones down thinking we were having no more children. Then along came number three! Time to shop for decals again. The one above, which I affectionately call the Cow/Chicken Conundrum, is the newest one we got from Blik, our favorite decal store. When my oldest son moved out of the nursery, we got decals for his new room, including this one of the Peanuts gang.
Then we got some for the main hall in our house, etc. It’s somewhat of an addiction at this point.
Plan B
Your boys can’t seem to get all their pee in the toilet? There’s a decal for that. I had to keep the picture small because…yep, this is our toilet seat.
Now, you need somewhat of a steady hand to get these suckers on the wall without bubbles. But, there are no nails to hammer or screws to drill into the wall, and when you remove the decal, there is no hole. It’s a win all around.
If your house is super polished and classy, maybe you think you can’t pull this off. (I mean, decals where someone could actually see them?) I feel you. But, think of how surprising a touch of playfulness would be in your bathroom, guest room or inside the door of your hall closet. Just think about it, playa.
No love for the colorful hallway?!
That’s a different post!
