Using Decals on Our Stairs

 

When Urban Walls contacted me and asked if I would like to try one of their decals, or customize my own, I instantly thought of my favorite line from my favorite movie and how I could somehow incorporate it in our house.

 

 

 

 

 

Danielle, a graphic designer and the shop owner, worked with me to find just the right font and size so that I could use the phrase going up the stairs to our playroom.

The process of installing the decals was pretty painless.  (Especially since my parents happened to be in town visiting. . . .You see who ends up doing most of the work.  I was more like the “official project photographer.”)

Once we had them positioned and centered on each step, it was time to carefully peel off the backing.

My eventual plans include painting this hallway and hanging up family photos.  But, I love the way this part turned out.  After all, isn’t this what we all want our kids to know about themselves?
