Decal Art

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!?

I didn’t realize how bad I am at deciphering the direction of shadowed birds until I started this project- Lucky for me my youngest monkey is really good at it.
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
