My home is a work in progress. I am always on the look out for the perfect something to go somewhere. I refuse to spend money to fill up spaces temporarily. I am anti settling in every aspect of my life. As a result we have some empty walls that are waiting for the perfect piece of art work.
I saw these decals on Etsy and they are described as the perfect temporary solution for ‘renters’ and ‘you don’t have to spend much to get a new look’. I don’t rent and would sell my soul for a piece of artwork, if only I could find the perfect one.
But regardless, when I saw these birds I thought they would look good on the empty wall of my staircase.
This is what my empty wall looked like:
When they arrived in the mail I was surprised at how much smaller they looked- isn’t that always the case!?
The only assembly required is to place transfer tape (which they provide), cut it up and place the birds on the wall. My walls are slightly textured so I also pressed down with a soft cloth as was suggested.
My goal was to 'make them look like they were flying out the window'.
I am happy with the final results- until I sell my soul (or a monkey) for the perfect work of art.
I really love the tree designs that they make as well- To check out the shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/walldecors

Sherri- it was easy enough but I am thinking getting a tree on a wall without bumps and bubbles would be hard.

Hey, I know what you mean. I would rather have something awful around the house that I plan to change at some point that settle on something 'sort - of' right. It's the magaic of having waited for that amazing right bit...
Och :) You have very beatifoul bed :) and these birds are great ornament : )
Oh I love it! It looks so joyful and whimsical. I've always wanted to do wall stencils but I'm too scared. Of what? I dunno, doing it wrong? Silly.

Ah I've been loving those wall posters lately!! Adore the way you used those birds to decorate your house - I'm used to seeign those near sofas or beds, but your idea is unique - the do look like they're about to fly off the window!! Well done :)
I love it - it looks so good! I too have empty walls waiting for perfect pieces. I tried wall decals from Ikea actually, but they fell off =(
How long did it take? Those birds really look as if they are flying out that window!

it looks fantastic! well done!!
They are beautiful and you did a great job with the application. How hard will they be to get off? I won't speak of the effort involved in removing stars from my daughters bedroom when we sold the big house :-). I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary

I love these decals, they are such an easy way to add some pop to a boring wall. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Nice to meet you!
It looks so good! That seems like lots of work to cut each one! Good job. I always wondered how those things come off?
