hi wally, we are in the middle of a deluge of our own here in marin county. the rain is torrential, we've got major high winds and the flood siren just went off a couple of minutes ago..so keep those ideas on how to entertain your kids on a rainy day coming! you can be sure that jumping on the mattresses is not one of them...although desperate times may call for desperate measures. i will be sure and keep you updated on the weather front here.
FYI: just received the latest BLIK newsletter and wanted to be sure to pass this on to you and our readers. if you haven't heard of BLIK , be sure to check them out. BLIK creates removable wall graphics for the commitment phobic.
i liken BLIK to the ColorForms we had as kids...remember those? i can remember many a rainy day spending hours with my ColorForms. maybe that's why i'm so fascinated with these decals as an adult.
as a renter i am inherently drawn to items that are portable, modular, reasonably priced and can work in more than one setting...not too mention removable.
BLIK'S line of self-adhesive wall decals are a great alternative to wallpaper or paint. you can transform a room by just peeling and sticking. so if you get bored or tired of it you can change it in a year, a month or even a day.
how much fun is this kitchen? no more chipped china or broken plates.
each BLIK design is listed by degree of difficulty. this one for example, is easy peasy.
this one is a cakewalk,
for this one you may need to grab a pal.
here's one that's not easy - not tough. i think i'm getting this one...a modern grandfather clock, without the herniated disc and the moving expense.
and last but not least, a worthwhile challenge.
in addition to being just plain fab, BLIK also boasts a pretty impressive client roster, including Apple, Pixar, Google, Nike, and others. BLIK was a participant in the 2006 National Design Triennial at the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum.
they've also got some groovy typography styles...
there are tons of cute design for kids rooms, nurseries, playrooms...
these remind me of the "crazy daisy" stickers i had in my room when i was a kid.
let's not forget pacman.
think of the points you'll score for this one!
as you can see there is quite a range of possibilities.and let's not forget about the price. most of the decals i have here are listed between $30-$55. You can't beat that.
you can also use them on floors or chairs
or hang one from the ceiling ... like this chandelier design. think of the money you'll save not having to hire an electrician.
graphite that's good for the home.
these would work just about anywhere.
this one is entitled "insomnia"...i think i might have called it sleepless in seattle.gotta go, kids are out of school and the entertainment must officially begin.
