Another orange nursery!</p> <p>I love seeing all your nursery photos! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-237386 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 06:23:53 +0000 heffalump 237386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO also has a tree in her room. I'm crafty, but I'm not patient or precise. I'm not a perfectionist at all. I think that with a tree it's ok because branches and leaves don't have to be in any exact place. I put it up.... I think the only problem would be that I had to stand on a chair and DH wasn't happy with that (I don't think he knows about it) because he didn't like me doing that while pregnant. </p> [attach=1561/12/m7tgzu.600x450.P1010806.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-237366 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 05:46:54 +0000 PrincessBaby 237366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Super cute!</p> <p>@autumnlove: I think ours will arrive in several pieces...That looks intimidating...But it looks beautiful on your wall!</p> <p>@MsMini: Holy crap! I love your nursery!!! That looks like an etsy ad!</p> <p>@HabesBabe: That giraffe theme is so sweet!!!! Talk about adorable!</p> <p>@TurtleDoves: Simple is perfect! Your nursery looks great!</p> <p>@Red: What a pretty wall! I love that color - it's so different and it really makes the tree pop!</p> <p>Thanks everyone for sharing experiences and advice. It seems the general consensus is to only tackle it alone if I am a) crafty, b) patient, and c) precise. I am 0 out of 3, so I'll probably just wait for DH to get back:( It's going to kill me! Maybe I'll just put her name up to hold me over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-237358 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 04:46:15 +0000 MsLipGloss 237358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These all look so great - it makes me excited to do ours! Hopefully this weekend :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-237334 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 02:58:40 +0000 looch 237334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love all the decals. I painted right on the wall because our walls are textured, so I wasn't sure a decal would actually stay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-237294 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 01:01:27 +0000 Red 237294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also put up a decal and actually enjoyed it, although I love all kinds of artsy projects. </p> <p>Couple tips: If you're putting up a tree, make sure you establish a plumb line by hanging/taping a piece of string with a weight at the end. Otherwise your tree is gonna be crooked. Also, smooth from the middle out with a flimsy/bendy plastic card.</p> <p>Here's a pic of our wall decal. :) </p> [attach=257/12/m7t22g.450x600.66557_1644787644795_4354651_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-237281 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 00:29:52 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 237281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is embarrassingly simlple so I did it myself. I'd wait for she in your case because it might get frustrating. The trees seem to be big jobs....and you don't want a half a**ed thing staying on your wall for years. I will tell you: they peel off but they can wrinkle when they do and they are less sticky too...so first times a charm; anything after that might look messy. Here's mine (again it was super simple and boring): </p> [attach=2389/12/m7t0my.600x448.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-237234 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 23:02:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 237234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: It totally works. I absolutely love it. We did owls too :) We used the Urban Zoologie blue/green/yellow owls as a theme :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-237227 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:57:25 +0000 MsMini 237227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Thanks! We were team green, but I think the room totally works for our little guy (and he loves the yellow owls!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-237222 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:55:57 +0000 immabeetoo 237222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>very cute! i have used them and i think it takes more patience than anything. they definitely stick best to walls that are 'flat' without any texturing - so i think you should be fine to do it yourself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-237220 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:55:23 +0000 Mrs. Pen 237220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: what an adorable room!!! OMG I love it. Yellow is my fave. I was too scared to put it in a boy's room though... I do have small pops of yellow, but it's scarce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-237193 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:37:09 +0000 MsMini 237193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMamaBear: @chopsuey119: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-237042 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 21:34:25 +0000 HabesBabe 237042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a giant giraffe (it came in three pieces)... it took us awhile to put it up (me and the hubs) and we screwed up in a couple of places :( </p> [attach=146/12/m7sshg.600x450.IMG_1642.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-237036 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 21:32:52 +0000 chopsuey 237036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: love your decal! :D<br /> @autumnlove: pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-237035 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 21:32:12 +0000 MrsSPB 237035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love your decal. We put up one in our LO's nursery, and it was a total pain. It took my dad 2 hours to put it up and he's used to putting decals on race cars. He still talks about how tedious and time consuming it was. To be fair, our walls aren't the smoothest so every little bump made getting the curly letters very hard to adhere to the wall. I will say that it is gorgeous and was worth the effort! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-237005 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 21:24:43 +0000 MsMamaBear 237005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: LOVE those colors! Baby Bear's room is beige with those colors. Wanted to paint, by SO was being lazy.LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-236820 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:55:45 +0000 MrsBrewer 236820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did one, not in a nursery but just in my house. It's not that hard as long as you have very smooth clean walls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-236807 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:51:55 +0000 MsMini 236807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put up a the decal, and I wouldn't have wanted to tackle it myself (although I was about 37 weeks pregnant when we put it up) it was just easier to have a second set of eyes to measure, make sure it went up straight, and to do the ladder work. Mine also came in about 1 million pieces, so it was tedious. </p> [attach=1297/12/m7snqk.600x400.318002_10151863128980565_1094055677_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-236796 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:48:58 +0000 autumnlove 236796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put up a tree and it was a pain in the butt! I liked the outcome but rubbing the individual pieces onto the wall was annoying! :-)</p> <p>[attach=1791/12/m7snmt.600x450.image.jpeg]</p> <p>[attach=1791/12/m7snnx.409x514.image.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-236795 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:48:44 +0000 winniebee 236795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really cute! We did a school of fish with many little fish. My mom did it for me since I was on bedrest :-) But, she put little pins in the wall and measured so it was easier/even. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-236783 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:45:32 +0000 chrispygal 236783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ADORABLE!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-236547 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 18:21:44 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 236547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we didn't do a decal, but opted more for wall art. I made a 3D flower doily art. (will blog about it soon) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-236533 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 18:19:04 +0000 chopsuey 236533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It looks big and complex! If it comes in lots of pieces I would give it a go.. but! It's probably a better idea to wait until your DH can help! My sister sent us a not so complicated decal, but it was nice having DH to help out with it! </p> [attach=45/12/m7sjft.600x600.photo.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-236381 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 17:22:12 +0000 loveisstrange 236381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I painted 3 huge custom canvases to go about C's crib, but I worked in retail and did the HUGE vinyls that went in the window displays for 4 years. It's really not that hard. Just make sure you have it straight and go slow and it'll be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-236376 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 17:19:10 +0000 Rubies 236376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a similar one for LO's room (tree/leaves/birds) and did most of it myself. It's doable to do but it takes patience. It's not hard, just time consuming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-nursery-wall-decal-was-it-hard-to-install#post-236371 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 17:17:09 +0000 PrincessBaby 236371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just finalized Harper's nursery decal today, and unfortunately it won't make it in before DH leaves to go back to work offshore next week. We are putting up the crib this weekend, and I know I'll be ITCHING to get this on the wall when it comes in....Did you do one, and if so, was it hard to get it up/centered/looking good? Should I give it a try or wait for DH to get home again and do it?</p> <p>Here is the proof - whoop! whoop!:</p> <p>[attach=1247/12/m7sgkm.600x598.HarperDecal.jpg] </p>
