NERD WALL ART

Find it at scribbleoneverything.com


This decal that a client's daughter presented to me as nerd wall art that she wants as a focal point in her "nerd bedroom" (her words not mine, evidently being nerdy is very cool these days) is a painful reminder that I didn't apply myself when I was in high school. I was not the only teenage girl who memorized the periodic table of elements just long enough to pass chemistry class so I was not an odd duck.


Today nerds are the new "IN CROWD" and this young girl is perhaps the leader of the pack because she is drop dead gorgeous and not your dingy absent minded professor type either! Good looking, high achievers like her have become so trendy that they are developing their own decorating style and nerd decor like this decal and other pieces of nerd wall art are popping up all over the place!

In light of the monochromatic nature of the nerd wall art, I have to find a set of bedding and take her bedroom furniture and the headboard to her bed to be painted with flat black paint to match the periodic table wall poster and decals that she bought at scribbleoneverything.com.


Since I signed on to decorate this young lady's self-proclaimed nerd bedroom I have hopes that I get more jobs working for the intellectual set because I have my eye on some Legend of Zelda bedding that I'm dying to use teen girls bedding set in a gamer bedroom design.

RETRO PEACE SIGN WALL DECORATING IDEAS

After finding several cool, retro comforter sets I began to wonder how to build more retro peace sign presence in my decorating projects. As I have mentioned before, there is more and more evidence that a slightly modern 60s flower power frame of mind is creeping into this decade.

While I’m not wild about tie dyed fabrics or psychedelic black light posters of Jimi Hendrix decorating the walls of my own bedroom, I would be crazy not to enjoy jumping in the time machine and looking through vintage decorating magazines at the pictures and reading the articles filled with the funky decorating ideas from the days when hippies were having their heyday.

One theme that repeats itself in practically every photo is all of the different varieties of retro peace signs on the walls. A few stood out because of their unique design and method of display. For instance, one colorful decoration I plan to file in my flower power bedroom decorating folder for use later is so GROOVY!

First I will cut the heads off of large silk daisies (think Gerbera) and then I will stick the daisy blossoms on the wall of the bedroom in the shape of a large peace sign using adhesive. The cool thing about this is that I can hand pick the colors according to the retro peace sign comforter sets that my customer has selected to decorate her room.

I could easily find some vinyl flower power and tie-dyed peace sign wall stickers but I would not have as much control over the color scheme plus the decals are one dimensional rather then the eye popping 3D look that the artificial flowers give me. I’m beginning to really get why flower children loved those flowers and peace signs!

CHANDELIER STICKERS, DECALS and WALLPAPER APPLIQUES

GO HERE FOR MORE




Is your ceiling too low for a low hanging light fixture? Chandelier stickers won’t provide much light, but they don’t use any electricity How eco-friendly is that? And there is no danger of your tall friends bumping their heads on their way through the room.

Plus, these easy to use decals provide an unexpected decorative detail to rooms where a ceiling mounted crystal chandelier might be too large and out of scale in a small bedroom.

WHERE TO USE THEM



The charming part of using removable, vinyl chandelier stickers for decorating the walls of your teenage girl’s bedroom is that when she rearranges her furniture, the decals can be relocated anyplace that there is a bit of blank wall space that needs decorating. As often as teens and preteens change their mind, this is a very good characteristic for bedroom wall decorations.

In a large bedroom you might hang one on each side of an armoire or over each of the bedside tables with a large painting or art print in the center over the head of the bed. My favorite application for removable, vinyl chandelier stickers is over the headboard of the bed. In a small bedroom, the level of sophistication that the silhouette adds to the decor is amazing.

WHAT STYLE OF DECOR

I have used chandelier decals and wallpaper cutouts in bedrooms with black and white polka dot bedding, damask bedding sets as well as funky, shabby chic bedrooms. The appliques come in various colors, but my favorite combination so far has been black when used on a freshly painted tan or camel colored bedroom wall over a black lacquered headboard. You could almost imagine the faintest glow of light reflected on crystal beads only better.

PERSONALIZED NAME WALL DECOR for a KIDS ROOMS

GO HERE FOR MORE




A personalized name is a cool option for wall decor for kids rooms no matter what their age. But when it comes to tween girls up to college age and beyond you may find that name stencils, decals or stickers are a perfect fit. You can have them customized in whatever font, size or style you need, frame them with soulful sayings and use them in lieu of expensive posters or art prints as frugal bedroom wall decorations.


Haven’t you noticed that once your child was able to write her name in script that she started to cover her belongings with her name. Chances are that if her name contained the letter "I" that it was dotted with hearts, flowers or smiley faces. And even if her name was lacking that particular letter, she managed to decorate the letters in some way. I remember decorating tops, sides and bottoms of each character so completely that even my mother had to study it closely to recognize it.

Once I left the preteen stage behind, I spent my teenage years blowing my name up into graffiti style letters. The lettering for the personalized name that I preferred looked like big, fluffy clouds or balloons that I drew on my book covers and notebooks. But I knew better than to use my art as wall decor in my room. My mother would have been really mad if I had messed up the paint!

Now there are ways of putting your child’s name on bedroom walls that won’t damage the paint. There are hanging wall letters and name decals that at most require a single tack or a sticky, removable hanger to install them wherever you need some personalized name wall decor for your kids room. You can also order custom name stencils that come with the cute hearts and flowers pre-cut and ready to paint if you want something more permanent than a sticker.

Hanging a baby's or child’s personalized name or letters on the bedroom or nursery wall is not just stylish. As funny as it sounds, I believe that it helps to build self esteem by giving them a sense of belonging. We all need our own space and when we are young maybe it makes us feel more secure to see our name on stuff that belongs to us. Surely there’s a reason that teenage girls spend so much time doodling their names on everything they own. We may as well expand the practice to include personalized names for wall decor.

SOPHISTICATED WALL PAINTING TECHNIQUE and DECORATING IDEAS

Wall Decal

I love cool and interesting wall painting techniques and sometimes I find them where they are least expected. While cruising around in search of some funky flower wall decals this gradiated red and black wall almost faded into the background. Don't ask me what made me look deeper into the picture past the leather armchair and the flower decals that weren't the wild colors that I was interested in at the moment, but I'm ever so glad that I did.

What fun it would be to try your hand at such a sophisticated, muted gradiation of colors. A wall that seems almost airbrushed by design projects such a peaceful atmosphere. I can picture a wall painting technique using a black glaze over a deep Chinese shade of red in a teenage girl's bedroom with a black comforter and a spray of cherry blossoms in silhouette or some Asian lettering decorating the bedroom walls as a focal point to the side of a conversation area, over a dresser or taking the place of framed artwork over the headboard of the bed.

TINKERBELL FAIRIES - TINKERBELL DECALS and POSTERS

Buy at AllPosters.com



Quickly before your tween begins to question whether Peter Pan's Tinkerbell Fairies really exist, pick out one of the Tinkerbell comforter or bedding sets and get it on the bed so that you can enjoy the little girl look in your daughter's bedroom just a little while longer.

After you get that done, you might as well decorate the walls with some Tinkerbell fairies wallies, stickers and decals. Large cut out pictures of Tink in her emerald green dress can share some wall space with butterflies and smaller, less important fairies that are gathered to enchant your visitors and show their support for the celebrity in the group.

Tinkerbell - Pure Magic Poster Buy at AllPosters.com

If a complete mural centered around Peter Pan's Tinkerbell fairies isn't your cup of tea because of limited area or because you like your wall art to be more traditional and possibly collectible; Tinkerbell posters might be more to your taste. You get the same cute, blonde fairy with a broad array of colors to give your decorating project a lift for an extremely affordable price.

When your daughter reaches the age when her love of fairytales is replaced by teenage romance novels, the comforter can easily be removed and replaced with a more mature design. As the bedding may have made a trip or two through the laundry by this time which will leave the fabric none the worse for wear; tossing it may be your only option. However, your Tinkerbell decals and framed Tinkerbell posters will look just as fresh as the day that you hung them on your preteen's bedroom walls so you can save them for when your child has children of her own or give them to another little girl who adores Tinkerbell fairies and wants a gallery of their pictures in her room.
