Diary of a Mama Wannabe

Painting. Some people love to paint. Some people don’t love to paint. Some people hate to paint. My husband hates to paint. I dislike painting. Therefore between the two of us, there will be no painting. Although I adore murals and eventually one day want to create a Dr. Seuss Mural in my child’s playroom, for now we shall skip this task. Instead I have decided to use wall decals-which is basically my new obsession. There are so many choices out there among websites, stores, ebay, etc. that you won’t have trouble finding what you are looking for. And it’s fun because if you change your mind, or screw up, you can just peel the decal off and start over! Some are pricey and some are very affordable, just depends on what look you are going for. What I found also was that a lot of expensive decals can be found on ebay or amazon for much cheaper. While my husband and I are pretty site on having a rock and roll theme in our boys room with rock and roll themed decals, here are some more ideas that I fell in love with.

This beautiful and sweet decal above was found at DecalDelight for $66. It’s so cute and would be perfect for a simple, classy nursery! For a girly girl’s room the decal below is adorable for $16! I love that they put the decals on the dresser but you wouldn’t need to do that if you didn’t want to! Having girly words like those posted along the walls would be appropriate too!

On HomeSweetWalls I found decals below that you can customize with names and colors of your choice.  The price range for these are normally anywhere from $20-$50.

Also fun? A Star Wars themed room with fun decals like the ones below! These were only $24! How awesome. My husband would love this!

Although a little more expensive at $60, the bubble decal below is AWESOME! I absolutely love it! I think I would separate the bubbles, placing them all around the room. Although it may seem like $60 is a lot, it really would be all the room needs! You can find this at LewasDesigns.

Another idea I like is to have the alphabet around  my child’s room, whether it be their bedroom or playroom. Remember I’m an educator so I like these things. My idea is to have the letters be the border in the room. I found some cute and cheap letter decals at DecalStickers that are shown below. ($29 for the alphabet! Not bad price for a border around the room!)

A site that I found called VinylDisorder is REALLY cool. Here I found some really unique decals, like the Beatles’ signatures which you can stick around the room if you are doing a Beatles themed or rock and roll themed room like my husband and I are. This site is also super cool because you can customize your decal. It can be however big you want it to be, whatever color you want and it can be made into a wall decal or a window/car decal! For example the picture below, the customer is making this decal into a bumper sticker, and those are the colors he could choose for the font color.

Lastly here’s a cool site that sells video game decals! You can get Donkey Kong, old school Mario or new Mario! Although I don’t really want to expose my kid to video games RIGHT away this is a really cute idea! Click here to see more.
