Words on the Walls

occasionalrain · ‎03-10-2010

I was watching a Guide to Homes that are for sale in my area. A video tour of the houses was shown and I noticed a couple had Family, Love, Happiness...written on the walls. Who would do that? I found it odd and rather tacky.

Those so-called inspirational words are the "in" things right now with many people sticking them all over the house. I personally don't care for them but it's their house so they're entitled to do what they wish.

If someone is selling a home I would think they might paint a solid color but I personally have friends who have done this in a room and it looks very nice. I would have to see what was done to comment that it looks bad.

A lot of things seem tacky during house tours. It is probably peel and stick. No worse than bad carpeting or paint colors but cheaper to fix.

I like this look. It is really no different than having a picture on the wall. You can paint over anytime you want.

I have "Just another day in paradise" on the wall in the guest BR. It is just a plastic decal, and will pull right off.

Or a stencil...

I might use the decal on a wall, but cannot see myself using paint and a stencil to do this. I wouldn't like something permanent on my wall, which is also why I don't like wallpaper.

i have some younger friends who are very into this style. i dont find it tacky or odd. it isnt my style, but i do think it can look quite nice.
