Need Your Help!

Need your help deciding...

So I painted my office green and put up my "Start to Finish Supplies" wall decal. I came across a shop on Etsy, FunkyChickenDesign that sells decorative switchplates, the only problem is I need help deciding which design I like the best! I would love to hear what you think...

Here is a picture of the room :

And here are pictures of the Switchplates:

Just have to show this off!

I finally finished my master bath. When I purchased the wall decal for my home office a free monogram decal came with it. As you see I put it in my bathroom above the towels. It turned out even better than I expected!

If you have not already seen it check out www.wonderfulgraffiti.com . The prices are great and the graffiti arrived quickly. The package included detailed directions along with sample graffiti to practice with!

Wonderful Graffiti

Do you like wall decals? Want to have one custom made? If so, I know the perfect place. I came across a recommendation in a magazine recently for Wonderful Graffiti.

The shop has a great website that allows you to see what the graffiti would look like in your room. Click "Create" and then "Create Graffiti Now" and you will have the option to design your room. You can put together a mock up of your room and then put the graffiti on the wall. It is a great way to see with furniture how your Graffiti will look.

I decided that I wanted to order a decal of my shop name, "Start to Finish Supplies" to put in my new office. Here is my mock up:

Not only is the website cool but the product and service is great! My graffiti turned out exactly as I hoped and I even got a free monogram graffiti.

I highly recommend checking out Wonderful Graffiti!

How Cute! Found this on Etsy today and wanted to share it!
