Blik Wall Art- Cool Home Decor Item

Rissask · 07-26-2008

Just came across this site and product, we read about it in the Home section of today's paper, pretty neat

.

Removable and re-usable wall art decals, nothing new I know, I am sure most of us ave seen the words and poems before - but this site has some really funky ones!

I think I might order the chandelier or this gerbera daisy for our bedroom.

Dots or loops or spheres....

This shark one is funny.

A cute one for Nerak- Ambition Killed the Cat.

Love this one- Stone Jungle!

A couple for music lovers.

And for the kids- giraffes, undersea, and the alphabet on zoo animals (and lots more for kids and teens.)

This one, 'Sad Psycho' is a wee bit disturbing.

So does everyone think it's totally tacky? Do I have absolutely horrible taste or what?

I like the Daisy one, I think my kiddo would like something like that for her room.

Mag... thanks for the link - I have seen them and I love'em - mainly because they're not permanent

I can have them without making a commitment

Rissask · 07-27-2008

yeah, the non-permanence is a big draw for me too....that cartoon kid with the bloody chainsaw sure did bug me though...

I've seen these before but I didn't know the source. I think they're excellent.

Take a look at this hotel - each room was created by different designers, no stickers though everything is original work:

HOTEL FOX: The world's most exciting and creative lifestyle hotel

Here's one example:

I managed to get a cautious client to let me paint these subtle flower designs on their TV lounge wall. We designed and decorated the whole place and the flowers appear on some of the pillows.

I love those!!! I'm wanting to paint and do some re-decorating and want to do it on the cheap...getting some great ideas here!! I love the loops and dots.

I found this in a DIY painting magazine:
colorwheelcompany.com
For $28, you can upload your own picture to the site and they'll create a paint by number printout that you can transfer on to canvas with graphite paper and then paint. They even let you pick which paint products you want to use and label it with those colors. It tiles the print out for large peices that you just fit together.

Not as easy as a decal

, but I have a couple of pics I would love to make into sofa sized paintings.

Rissask · 07-27-2008

David I love that wall, looks great!

and Kelly that is a great idea too.

TAPPY · 07-27-2008

The wall is amazing, would love to see some more pics of your work MB.

Thank you

. I'd like to post some of our work, I'll check with James and Anna though, otherwise it'll look like an advertorial!

Here's the sea facing area of the same large L shaped lounge. You can see the cushions the flowers came from.

OOOOHHH Really??? And what else did you buy, Chica??

Pour Favor · 07-27-2008

If I post a list of my goodies on here then Dave will know how much $$$$ I may or may not have spent

boxi · 07-27-2008

Hmmm, it seems I'm the only one who doesn't like that at all!
I could stay in a hotel with such decorated rooms for a couple of nighs but wouldn't want to have that at home

!
To each its own!
