I spent so much of my pre-move time obsessing about decals. Now that I have them I've completely forgotten about them. Shame on me. It's time to talk about life after decals!
After all the research I did it came down to convenience. I got a World Market gift certificate for Christmas so they were the first stop for decals. Lucky for me they had tons! As seen on allposters.com World Market had both the shaped decals and the poster decals.
The poster decals are very easy to apply, however the larger the decal the more difficult it is to handle. Because I am the type of person to change my mind about something a thousand times, having a poster that can be removed and easily reapplied without damaging the walls is ideal. I've been in this apartment for a month now and I haven't rearranged any furniture but its inevitable.
I purchased two poster decals. I haven't abandoned my Parisian theme just yet, so in my living room is a black and white view of the Eiffel Tower. (please excuse the glare. the sun is reflecting off the giant icicles outside my window.)
I wanted a kitchen with red accents and found this adorable poster that adds just the right amount of color to the wall. It ties in well with my bistro theme.
Last but not least. The shaped decal I chose for the bedroom is as close to damask as I could find at World Market. The decal pack consisted of 12 pieces. You are able to arrange them anyway you like. Decals with intricate designs are much more difficult to handle. The material is quite thin and tears easily. It took a few tries to get everything lined up but eventually it all came together nicely.
Eventually I want to get the original decals I saw online for the bathroom. Look out for that post in the near future. Until then. Stay crafty my friends!
