Today I am sharing a special project for my HOME|MADE series! As you know I am slowly working on re-doing every room in my condo and lately I am making some good progress! Today I have a 'sneak peek' into my daughter's bedroom makeover! ;)
In this room, I am planning on a couple little wall galleries but wanted some other kind of decor for the walls as well. At first, I was going to paint this huge chevron print on this back wall of her room but then decided against it. I decided upon using a vinyl design from my friends at Wallternatives because I've used them before on my craft room wall and still, am loving it! Plus this particular idea of mine I had, I wanted to use a product that I could 'work' with and know it would be doable. Even though this particular vinyl I used for the circles isn't "repositionable", I knew from experience that if I just "set" it on the wall first and not press it down, I could change the position and move it if necessary. Which is why I LOVE this product!
What is Wallternatives you ask? Here is a description straight from them:
"Wallternatives™ ARE the artful
alternative to ordinary walls. At Wallternatives™, our goal is to provide easily
applied Pattern for the People™. That’s you! And not just any old
patterns! We want you to have your choice of the most delightful pattern
options, offered across a variety of material options to suit every design
demand and surface requirement. We are committed to empowering you to create a
home that is more colorful, more fun, more expressive, and more designed around
“you” without investing a lot of time!"
For the white circles, I chose a Designer Decal called "Dots vinyl pattern pack". I chose them in white for a subtle look and followed the directions on how to apply a Wallternatives Designer Vinyl Wall Decal on their site and didn't it turn out fab? I LOVE it!
I think the circle pattern turned out better than I thought but I bet you are wondering how I got those perfect circle patterns on the wall huh? Well I am the master of 'using what you have on hand' so I grabbed a paper lantern out of my studio and used it for a 'guide' for my circle patterns. I just applied one white vinyl circle at each seam and it worked out perfect! Pretty scientific huh!? ;)
The other vinyl item I added in her room is a large Fabric Wallprint that says 'Just Be Yourself' because I think that is such a good positive message for my daughter to see everyday when she gets up! Not to mention, how fun is this design? Amazing!
In case you have a "good eye", you will notice that I got the idea for the circle pattern on her wall from the curtains here in this photo. She loved this idea, since SHE picked out the curtains! ;)
I really love this little corner as I hung some tissue poms from the ceiling, moved her coat stand over here that holds all of her bags and then made a little reading nook for her where she can sit on her bean bag and pillows and read her little heart out under the window.
This one was even easier to put up than the circles as I just folded down the backing of the vinyl a couple inches, held it up to the wall, centered it and used the handy tool they included in my order, to smooth it down. I started at the top and worked my way down until the backing was completely off and my vinyl art was on the wall. EASY & done!
So what do you guys think? This is just the start of the posts that I will be sharing on this room so make sure you are following along so you don't miss the rest of the reveals I have planned! ;)

DeleteFIRST OF ALL…LOVIN' the decor and colors in Skylar's room! Super cute! That "Just Be Yourself" wall decal was PERFECT! Now I'm inspired to finish Faith's room and check out Wallternatives…if only she would keep it clean! Geez…tweens!
ReplyDeleteahhh thanks so much Tonya! You should check these out for Faith's room as they have alot of great decals that you can use. Some are even removable but Skylar had such a blast picking what she liked! Would love to see what you come up with. ;)
DeleteI am in live with the wall decor! I wish I could have this in my bedroom, don't know how the husband would like it. Can't wait to try it out in a little girls' room! Love this! :)
ReplyDeletethanks so much for the love! You should try & find something that you could agree to use in your room. =) They have lots of choices to add a little bit of fun to a room. Share if you do! =)
