Even before I laid eyes on Princess P's new room, I had a vision of how I wanted to decorate it in my head. Pink paint, white accents and something personal on the walls. Ok, so maybe I didn't have all the details worked out, but I knew it was going to be something special.
I had read about vinyl wall decals in the past, but never really thought that they would be something I would want to decorate my own home with. I don't know why? They are fairly inexpensive, easy to install and provide you with a custom look.
When I learned to I was getting the chance to review a decal from
Dali Wall Decals, I knew that picking the perfect one was going to be half the battle. I wanted something special for P's room, but I had no idea what.
After browsing through several pages on the Dali Decals site, I came across the
"Sweet Dreams, My Love..." Decal and it really stuck with me. However, I knew that the size (66" wide) was going to be way to big for P's new room.
After going back and fourth on whether to get the "Sweet Dreams..." Decal or not, I decided to send Dali Decals an email asking if it could be custom sized to fit P's room. I promptly received and email back saying "Yes" and I was asked the measurements and given a link to custom order the decal.
When the decal arrived, and the Princess Pink paint (I'm not lying, that is the actual name) had dried, it was time to put the custom decal on the wall. My friend, R, came over to help me put it up and to make sure everything was straight and even.
We peeled the white backing off the decal and I stepped back to make sure it was where I wanted it. Then, we placed the sticky side of the decal on the wall and smoothed it out to remove any air bubbles and allow the adhesive to stick better . Next, we slowly and gently peeled away the transfer paper, making sure that the decal did not come up with it. R and I did have some issues with the decal peeling up with the transfer paper, but we would just stop and smooth the decal out again when that happened.
(I know the decal is kind of hard to see in this picture, but it's the best I could get. Stay tuned for before and after pictures of the entire room.)
Once we were finished, I stepped back to take a look and was very pleased with the outcome. I decided to go with the Pistachio Matte color and I am so glad I did. It really stands out against the pink and gives her room a special feel.
Buy It: The "Sweet Dreams, My Love..." Decal can be purchased on the
Dali Wall Decals site for $25
