    Wallpaper Borders - Borders of Ingenuity

    It was a rainy lazy Sunday morning. Everyone in my household was still asleep. As a mater of fact I was still rubbing the sleepiness from my eyes. Lying on my back just gazing around my bedroom walls, there was a horrible feeling that crept inside of me. My bedroom walls just stared back at me with a naked dull expression. Suddenly something stirred inside of me. In fact I new what had to be accomplished. If not at this very second, but soon. Staring around me, now with my eyes wide open, I had a plan. Scrambling through my desk drawer I spotted the book that would get my bedroom walls out of their doldrums.

    This fabulous book is an entire catalog of wallpaper borders. With a little creativity and the help of this book, my walls should be ready to hum with delight. There is an abundance of patterns, materials, sizes and designs to fill my decorating needs.

    First of all from the table of contents it informed me that there are three types of wallpaper borders. Pre-pasted so all you need to do is moisten and apply. There are also self adhesive wallpaper borders, which are the simplest, just peel and stick. Finally there are wallpaper borders that need you to apply the adhesive to the back. The last one sounded like I would need help from a professional and the choices of paper seemed more expensive. So I settled my search on the first two.

    I knew from doing other projects that it is best to choose colors and patterns that would compliment and co-ordinate with the decor of the bedroom. I was undecided if the border should be applied along the top of the molding going around the entire room or if it should be placed mid way on the wall. Both ways would create a totally different and unique effect.

    Visually wallpaper borders allow you to work with bold colors and any pattern that would be to massive for the entire wall. Looking through the catalog, I was debating between bright colorful prints that would certainly brighten up the room or a bold dramatic print that would tender a sophisticated style. This finishing touch would accentuate my decor and virtually make the room come alive with its brilliance.

    Finally after many hours one of the prints jumped out at me. This had to be the one that would allow the vision that I imagined to appear. So the next step was to order it and get my walls ready for the change. These narrow strips could easily be applied over my painted walls. The walls had to be cleaned and smoothed before their transformation.

    After my rolls of wallpaper borders arrived another idea came to me. Gathering my family together I announced that this would be a project that would be fun for all of us. My family all agreed and we started dividing up what we needed for hanging.

    My husband, because he is a man, decided he would get the tools together. He felt we had everything that was needed around the house. The material was vinyl backed so it would be easy to clean and was also pre-pasted. He brought into the room a razor knife, ruler, sponges and a shallow bin to wet the paper in. It took the better half of the day and evening to complete. There was also enough of the paper so we could put up a border around the windows and bedroom door. This extra touch was stunning and made the windows and doors the focal points of the room. I could not get over the fact that the room looked larger, softer and felt cozier. This certainly was a quick solution for an eye appealing sight.

    With a little ingenuity and your imagination you can realize that anything is possible. With a theme in mind you can create a masterpiece for any room you choose.

    Disney Wall Stickers Influence the Imagination

    Through many of my acquaintances I have yet to encounter a living human being
    that does not have a favorite Disney movie or character in their hearts. Just
    seeing an advertisement or stuffed animal can bring a flood of memories to ones
    soul. Childhood can't be recreated but bits and pieces are forever embedded in
    our minds. As parents we can somewhat relive these precious moments from our
    past through our off springs. We can accomplish this simply by creating a
    comforting and colorful safe haven for our little ones. At the same time their
    little minds will start to absorb and store memories of their own.



    Growing up I can remember listening to an album of 101 Dalmatians over and over
    again. I kept recreating the movie with songs and the vivid pictures that were
    included in the album. So as no surprise, I longed to bring this vision to my
    baby's room. This was my memory not hers so I needed some kind of decor that was
    not permanent. Wallpaper or painting the walls was not an option. What was
    necessary would be a material that could be removed easily or could change and
    grow with my child. It still had to look professional and be an outlet for my
    baby's imagination.



    The wall decor that would hit all the prerequisites was Disney wall stickers.
    They are usually made of a heavy duty vinyl with a peel and stick adhesive back.
    These stickers are just the perfect feature for easy on and easy off
    application. They are durable and for those sticky fingers are washable. The
    best part is the never ending Disney characters that are available. They stick
    to any flat surface and you do not need to be artistic to have a professional
    look. This just might be the easiest but most dramatic decorating technique
    there is.



    The Disney wall stickers are fun and interactive and seem to transform the
    entire room. For a custom look there are Disney decorating kits and
    repositionable wall boarders. The kits include murals, appliques, borders and
    other wall accessories that match the design. You can find numerous colors,
    sizes and textures to suit your decorating tastes and desires. There are some
    stickers that glow in the dark when the lights are turned off. On the internet
    there are websites that feature a virtual tour of finished walls using Disney
    wall sticker kits. This allows you to duplicate the design or make changes to
    fit your personality.



    Using Disney wall stickers is cost efficient and extremely useful for renters.
    They leave no residue behind when removed so landlords need not worry. If you
    are a home owner but are planning to move they are great since you can peel them
    off the wall and take them wherever you go.



    What I finally decided on for my daughters room was four different themes that
    all blended nicely. On the wall that was over her crib I choose a princess
    theme. The Disney characters were comprised of Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping
    Beauty and The Little Mermaid. There were also stickers of tiny creatures and
    butterflies and birds. On the wall opposite her crib was Bugs bunny, Mickey
    Mouse and Tweety Pie. They seemed to pop out from the wall. There was also a
    button on Bugs Bunny nose when pushed it played a tune.



    On the two remaining walls was my favorite the dog theme. One wall was composed
    of 101 Dalmatians and the other was from the movie the Lady and the Tramp. After
    all we are proud owners of a cocker spaniel.



    The hardest part of the entire project was deciding on the cast of characters to
    place on the walls. The actual time it took to hang was one hour for the entire
    job. When anyone comes to see my new bundle of joy, they seem to first comment
    on the Disney wall stickers. I guess no matter how old we get, we all love
    Disney.
