Houston, we have a problem. I got Wall Slicks and now I must redecorate.

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

So I got Wall Slicks. And now I have to redecorate.

Let me explain.

I’m not the decorating type.  I’d rather sit around and try new beauty products or read a book. Before my son was born, I got the bright idea to paint his room an unexpected color. Khaki sounded preppy and cute, so I went with that. Except it turned out to be more of a golden poop brown. My husband teased me about it mercilessly yet was unwilling to repaint (wonder why?)  I haven’t been very motivated to repaint, either. Until Wall Slicks entered my life.   My son picked out the alien theme with the works — background landscape and the aliens to boot.

I tried several of the decals. I had a little trouble getting the Lorax-style trees off the backing, but soon got the hang of it.  Wall Slicks sent some practice decals which I highly suggest using.  Also, pay attention the suggestions about surfaces and helpful hints.

What I loved:

  • The colors are bright, vibrant, and super fun.
  • The decals have a slick, shiny surface that will make them easy to clean.
  • I can pick out one or two of the colors as a focal point and work around it.
  • The decals can be easily changed as my son grows.

Now, here’s the downside. When I applied the first cutie-pie alien to the wall, I instantly knew. The walls must be repainted.  Have you ever bought a cute pair of shoes and then needed to buy a new outfit because nothing in your closet was worthy of the shoes?  That’s how I feel about these wall decals.  They’re so fun that they don’t deserve the poop brown walls.  So now, I have a new summer project.  My son requested green walls with the alien background. For once, I’m really excited about decorating!

 
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

  1. Very cool. These sound so easy to use. I’m always looking for simple solutions.

  2. The parallel to the cute shoes was somthing I could relate to!

  3. Because we have always lived in apartments, (where painting isn’t an option) I have used similar wall decals to liven up the white walls. I love them; they are easy to apply and look fabulous! The alien stickers your son picked out are too cute.

  4. What a fun way to redecorate. I like that they include practice decals so you can make sure the “final” decals go on right!

  5. Lol. I completely understand! We painted when we first moved in and now I am itching to redo a few rooms… I had to live with them for a while to really know they were all wrong. The whole process of painting is such a chore and my husband is dragging his feet.

  6. These look like a fun way to change up a room

  7. What an easy way to add character to a room.

  8. This is my decorating style too, I am just not creative and need something simple. These look cute, and I love that you take them off so easily if you want to redecorate.

  9. These alien wall decals are super cute! Decals are a relatively easy way to brighten up a room, thanks for sharing your experience!

    My granddaughter loves Frozen so I just bought some Frozen decals. I know she will love them and an easy way to make her walls special.

    Going through this right now…Started on the downstairs needing new wall paint and decor, next thing we know the floor needs to be done and we need a new cushion for the chairs. Probably going to re-purpose a few items for furniture, too. It snowballs and before you know it you want to do another room, too. Good luck.

  17. What an easy way to decorate a little ones room! So nice!
