where did i find that? - pink grandfather clock!

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,
