as it turns out, lofts have very large walls. very long & very tall walls. finding neat items to decorate these huge walls can be rather challenging. but i found the neatest idea on one of my fave blogs, cupcakes & cashmere : patterned wall decals from blik! our first attempt at the way lofty & awesome world of blik is this grandfather clock. blakey even let me get the hot pink one. my husband rocks.
step 1: THE RUB. firmly press down on the backing to shift graphic onto the transfer paper. don't hesitate to give it some gusto.
step 2: ROLL-MUSH-PULL: start at one corner & slowly peel away the paper backing with a rolling action.
step 3: GET YOUR BLIK ON: hold two corners of the transfer tape & stick to your desired location. be careful it's straight. leaning grandfather clocks are no where near as cool as leaning towers. smooth away.
step 4: ROLL-MUSH-PULL THE SEQUEL: now that the graphic is applied, it's time to remove the tape. say a prayer it actually sticks & roll away.
step 5: SHAZZAM! one-of-a-kind-art. & we got this super fabulous clock from crate & barrel to contrast the bright clock quite well, i must say. {how many of you actually believe i hung the clock? you are wrong. but great photo op.} {oh extra side note: i'm standing on a step stool. the total height of the grandfather clock is almost 7.5 feet tall.}
THE FINAL SUPER AWESOME PRODUCT:
yay loft decorations!!
what neat stuff have you found?
love love,
