Are wall decals still in fashion...does it really matter?

What do we really think about wall decals....hmmmm I see pictures on the Internet, they look great in the 'mock up' rooms but applied to real life how do they really look? I have seen some in shops but they are already peeling from the walls so how do you know the type and quality that you should be buying?<br /><br /><br />So, after deliberating for a few months I have decided it doesn't really matter if wall decals are in or out of fashion but I am going to try just a few in my boys rooms. The first one are some really cute swallows for my toddler's room. I think about 8-12 little birds all stuck around the top part of the wall . I can get them in several colours but I think blue would look nice but it doesn't seem that imaginative does it! This is just an idea at the moment....just thinking....<br /><br />Onto the pictures of my son's bedroom...<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnvRx7HVQWXBLu5lxTchhEjBaDHgQr8RJLdq279sZm9HvIzmjR34Cbe9KUOzAcVGuGJF85PVAC5tK6Ihx70L433sgW6vNVXLc-RIBM0qiSLQqWbO7Sfeq2aNAYaaA-aptg43HmU2JAUUY/s1600-h/IMGP0201.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356375400183416834" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnvRx7HVQWXBLu5lxTchhEjBaDHgQr8RJLdq279sZm9HvIzmjR34Cbe9KUOzAcVGuGJF85PVAC5tK6Ihx70L433sgW6vNVXLc-RIBM0qiSLQqWbO7Sfeq2aNAYaaA-aptg43HmU2JAUUY/s400/IMGP0201.JPG" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> This picture has been taken from the door way so on the right side are the green wardrobe doors. So all the little swallows will be 'dancing' around his room.

I will tell you though, I am going to Canada in a few months time and cant wait to hit the shops! I believe there is a Pottery Barn in Toronto so that will definitely be on list for places to visit LOL So maybe once I get this trip over with, I will start to become inspired again. I still need to order my wallpaper and curtains for some of the rooms...oh well, everything takes time I guess.</span><br /><span style="color:#333333;"></span><br /><span style="color:#990000;"><em>Mrs B</em></span>

All my ideas are slowly coming together...I have always wanted a contemporary nursery that can grow with a child. Now I am on the look out for bed linen to put on his bed, nothing babyish but more like the bedding in the picture above.</span></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"><strong><em><span style="color:#990000;">Mrs B</span></em></strong></div>

I also love the hint of lemon thrown in as well. Oh well, so many choices but at least I know I will be having a tree in my babies room. </div><div> </div><div>On a different note...My oldest son actually is now very excited about his room and wants it decorated very similar to the one I had previously shown before ( it had a basketball hoop in it) Once he saw his room painted at the house, he could visualise what it would be like living in the house and all his stuff finally in his room.

What I think is 'cool' and what my boys think is 'cool' couldn't be further apart. I am on a mission to decorate my 3 boys rooms to perfection, each room individual,colourful; reflecting on their owners personality and most importantly , a room where they wont be embarassed to bring their friends to hang out and play in. This will be Mission Impossible!!!!! Here I have found pictures that represent the most funkiest, coolest rooms you can find but I can guarantee that my kids would loathe these stunning pictures. My 14 year old just wants a bed, white walls and his TV on the wall. Plain doona cover and his cricket trophies on a white cabinet...that's it, nothing else, no girly cushions, rocking horse or curtains. This is my biggest decorating challenge yet! Stay tune as I let loose a barrage of colour with co-ordinating lamps, ottomans' cushions, window furnishings and bedding!<br />The pictures I have selected are from Better Homes and Gardens as well as PB Teens. In no way will I replicate the rooms but rather take bits and pieces from each room. I Love the checkered rug in one of the pictures and already I have seen it in Ikea. My colour theme will be green, blue and white...other accent colours yet to come. Hope you enjoy the pictures....<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU0Qh1Z3xFl3K_EdaR9E-yx6WrPKtmmvZukvQjA-eOsHdghEjeXsX0U0kGktGUI6YFw-02iMvspZaymy3VZCZ4tPSX89Q_jeYmXJav8xBiLViGxSXkLoD7VNIEDMqNPEWkqbyphh_cdBw/s1600-h/ss_CNW216492K.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286635074008674818" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU0Qh1Z3xFl3K_EdaR9E-yx6WrPKtmmvZukvQjA-eOsHdghEjeXsX0U0kGktGUI6YFw-02iMvspZaymy3VZCZ4tPSX89Q_jeYmXJav8xBiLViGxSXkLoD7VNIEDMqNPEWkqbyphh_cdBw/s400/ss_CNW216492K.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> In this picture, I love the way they have mixed so many colours on the bed.
