My next favorite thing about out new playroom is the wall decal. Wall decals are not original these days but I really like them. In our case, it adds a touch of color to an otherwise rather ordinary and awkward space.
The area where we put the decal is a bit awkward for any normal type of art work. It is part of the wall that separates our TV room and the playroom. Because it is a higher traffic area I didn’t want to put framed art because I felt like it would get knocked around a lot but it is a really plain space and felt that something should be put there. When I found this piece of art I immediately knew it would be perfect.
What a perfect pop of color right?
Right now the door underneath is just storage but one day I hope to make it a little hide-a-way space for Lucy. I would like to paint it to look like the inside of a tree complete with squirrels and owls.
Who knows when that will happen.
You can get wall decals almost anywhere these days. Just google it.
You can also make your very own customized decal. Check out this tutorial.
I’ve also seen it done with liquid laundry starch. Soak whatever fabric you want (pre-cut into the shape or design you want), stick it to the wall and smooth it out. Voila. It will also easily peel off without ruining your walls (so I’ve read).
It would have been nice to have been super crafty and done it one of these two ways but I got this decal for free. Why not take the easy road? lol
