Update: Help Choose a Wall Decal!
| November 3, 2009 | Posted by carly under Bedroom |
Back in August, we asked our readers to vote on a wall decal for above our bed. Finally, last night, we installed our new piece of wall art! I admit that we didn’t choose the #1-voted design, but I think you’ll like what we did. Drum roll please…
It’s the African tree wall decal from Surface Flik on Etsy. We just adore the added drama above the bed and like to think that we are now sleeping beneath the trees.
Here’s a little step-by-step breakdown of how we installed the wall decal. Surface Flik provided us with some clear directions and installation went pretty will. The extra large surface area of this particular decal gave a us few problems with creasing and bubbles. For smaller decals, I suspect it’s not much of an issue.

Surface Flik shared a little trick about installation: In case you do run into problems with creases or bubbles that won’t budge, try blasting the installed decal with a hair dryer.
The heat will help make the vinyl more pliable and hopefully you’ll be able to then force the bubbles and creases to move out or stick down to the wall.
