Dezign With a Z Wall Decals [Review + Giveaway]

dee@holycool.net (Dee) — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 17:52:00 +0000

Today I’ve got another review on wall decals, this time from Dezign With a Z. First of all, let me just say, I had no idea how much fun wall decals can be! They’re great for decorating any room, doesn’t cost much and really easy to install.

Dezign With a Z offers a wide range of wall graphics printed on premium adhesive vinyl. You can pick from floral, animal, object designs... or chalkboard decals, mirror decals and even clock decals. And of course, you can always order your own custom design.

I used this really pretty ‘Birds singing on a branch’ on an empty wall in my bedroom, and I really love how it turned out. I did it a little differently than the original design by spreading the flowers around just to fill up more space. You can always get creative with your decals.. that’s part of the fun! Although it’s suggested that you have someone help you out when installing a big decal, I did this one on my own. Took me about 15 minutes or so... it was really easy and I’m really pleased with the outcome.

Now for the giveaway part....

*giveaway is now closed*

Dezign With a Z is giving away a $50 gift certificate to one lucky reader to get their own wall decals! All you have to do is fill out the form below... a winner will be chosen randomly and contacted via email.

LTL Prints: Premium Wall Graphics [Review]

dee@holycool.net (Dee) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 14:58:00 +0000

LTL Prints offers a wide range of premium wall graphics in variety of sizes from 12” to 7ft.. that makes one HUGE wall decal!

I got a few decals to test out.. and I absolutely love them!

First is these pixel hearts from Susan Kare’s Icons collection:

WackyPacks Barman:

and these lovely inverted painted flowers:

The graphics are printed on self-adhesive repositionable fabric paper, which is reusable up to 100 times. The installation is pretty straight forward, peel off and stick it on the wall. I removed and applied mine few times, tried them on in different places, they stick nicely every time and does not leave any kind of residue on the wall. They're also safe to use on both paint and wallpaper.

There’s a great line of graphics to choose from, my favorite are the WackyPacks collection which offers funny parodies of famous brands, and Susan Kare’s collection. And if you can’t seem to find what you’re looking for, you can always create your own wall graphic! Just upload the photo you want and LTL Prints will turn it into a wall decal for you.

So if you’re in the market for wall decals, I really recommend LTL Prints. I’m really impressed with the material they’re using, and their service is really great.
