Designs for Living

WallCandy is for grown-ups, too!
On this blog, we almost exclusively talk about wall decals. But did you know there are a bunch of products – ones appealing mostly to adult tastes – that are not wall decals but different types of home décor – all in delightfully unique designs?
Oh yes, we offer a line from notNeutral that is sure to whet your decorating appetite. These room accessories are both subtle and distinctive, excellent foundations on which to build your home environments.
Take, for instance, the area rugs. Have you ever noticed how the rug can make all the difference to any space? These spare yet friendly designs in two sizes pull the different elements of a room together.
Tired of that boring sheetrock look? Try some wood paneling! You won’t need hammer and nails, though; just a quick position-and-press application.
Most grown-ups love to pamper their guests with cool stuff. WallCandy products include ways you can set the table, with placemats and trivets, and serve your guests chips in our exquisite leaf bowl.
Oh, and do you like the gorgeous lanterns, lighting up an outdoor deck or walkway?
After your guests have gone home, cuddle up with a few throw pillows and our reversible quilt in the living room.
If you spend more of your time in the garden than anywhere else (or at least, it seems like you do),these garden stakes will surely catch your eye.
If you thought WallCandy was all about kids, think again.It’s going to be the holiday season soon, and your kids will again take center stage. But for a little while now, consider the ways WallCandy is your resource for casually sophisticated décor all around the house, and not just in the kids’ rooms.
Whether you’re a parent interested in instilling high aesthetic values in your children, or living in an adults-only household, you’ll find these designs intriguing. Intentionally spare, they serve as launching pads for the masterpieces of your own imagination!

My Sweet Room Contest

Share your creativity with us!
Time to rev up our My Sweet Room Contest again, so this post is devoted to reminding you how creative you really are, no matter what you think.
Here’s Heidi’s room, the winner of our last Contest
You take a kit of WallCandy stickers in hand, for example,and read how easy they are to apply. You look at that lonely, unadorned corner of the room that’s never used or appreciated. You are suddenly inspired.
Voilà! Your creativity is revealed all in a flash.In the place of old nail holes and cobwebs, you envision a peaceful outdoor scene, a study nook with desk and chalkboards, or a sea of bubbles drifting by an armchair with a footstool. If you’re a Mom, maybe you suddenly realize what a great play area it could be, especially with some dinosaurs or letters on the wall, and that bean bag chair the kids like so much.
You can’t fool us! We know you’re imaginative in the extreme!
So after you’ve spent a few enchanting hours mounting WallCandy stickers somewhere, why not snap a quick photo of your brilliant work and send it on in? That’s all it takes to get in the running for free WallCandy prizes.
Now, here are the details. Right here on this blog, we’re going to post all the entry photos, and ask our readers to comment, saying which room they think is the best. Yes, we plan to personally read every single comment, and tally up the votes that way. So you’ll have a better chance of winning if you encourage friends to stop on by here!
Oh yes, that blog post with all the entry photos is scheduled for October 19th.Winners will be announced after we’ve collected comments for a couple of weeks.
October 19th is not far away at all, so go ahead and dust off the camera so you can share your great decorating solutions with everybody. Here’s the Room Contest signup form - http://wallcandyarts.com/blog/wallcandy-room-contest/.
See you there!
