Kudos to all entrants, and to our voting readers, as well!

Time to announce a winner! Our polls are closed, the popular vote has been tabulated, and the people’s choice in our My Sweet Room Contest rings loud and clear! Drum roll, please ….

Congratulations to home decorator extraordinaire, Christy Snook, who decorated her daughter Delaney’s room to perfection with a happy combination of our wallsticker kits.

Christy ran away with the large majority of votes in our Contest, but we still must congratulate all the entrants, who each demonstrated marvelous creativity in his/her own unique way. And extra congratulations to Rick Joens and  Karen O’Campo, who both received special mention.

Allison Krongard, President of WallCandy Arts, remarked about Christy’s entry: “Delaney’s room is bursting with fun and intrigue. I love how Christy combined Candy Factory with the Seasons designs. I would have never thought of it but it looks fantastic. I really appreciate all the entries;it’s such a joy to see what people do with the product.”

To reward her excellent work, Christy will receive her choice of WallCandy wall sticker kits.

Thanks so much to all participants, and we hoping everyone is looking forward to our next Sweet Room Contest. We’re planning for it to be bigger and better than ever! Look for details soon.

The choices are infinite!

Wallpaper murals are exciting and inexpensive decorating solutions that have captured the fancy of many parents recently. What better way to inspire your child’s imagination than with a colorful, big-as-life scene right there in her room?

You can choose from an endless selection of themes, from storybook illustrations, to sports or world maps or outer space, to wilderness or fantasy scenes, and everything in-between. You can even have your own photographs enlarged to become murals.

After all, those four blank walls don’t provide much stimulation. You want to give your child all the delight and motivation you can in this stressful world. But hiring an artist to create an original is beyond most folks’ budgets. Wallpaper murals provide an inexpensive and satisfying alternative.

What’s required to transform your kid’s room with a mural? Probably,the hardest part is selecting the scene you want. Take your time choosing, as this will be a fairly major decorating commitment! Be sure you’re virtually in love with the picture before purchasing.

Most wallpaper murals come with paste provided, or pre-pasted. You apply the picture in strips, much the same way any wallpaper is applied. It will take you a few hours to do, if the mural is indeed wall-sized,and the brilliance of the effect will be worth every minute of effort! Smaller murals, for doors or sections of wall, will of course be more quickly installed.

It’s best to start with a very smooth, latex-painted surface for a wallpaper mural. If your surface is not smooth, you can install a ‘liner-paper’ that will make the wallpaper go on easily.

Worried about damaging the wall when you remove the mural?Check with the seller to ensure your mural’s adhesive is safe.

Again, there are a multitude of options in wallpaper murals.You can choose the scene, the size, the substrate, the adhesive type, and more. But if wallpapering is not an experience you enjoy, or if your landlord prohibits it, or if you want more ongoing flexibility in your décor, remember that you can opt for vinyl wall decals. These are generally smaller than murals, but they come in just as huge a variety as their larger cousins, and can be applied and removed with ease.

Everyone loves pictures, and kids are endlessly entertained by excellent visuals. You know this is true, having observed your child watch the same movie over and over a hundred times. So it’s truly smart parenting to provide your young ones with rich and always accessible images for their constant delight and comfort.
