Nesting Stage 2: Blik!
February 25th, 2008
Today the UPS guy graced us with his presence holding a package containing graphics we ordered from Blik! The graphics were exactly what we were was looking for and a more unique than going with the traditional framed wall decor, or cutesy wallpaper. Of course, cutesy wallpaper isn’t a bad thing, we were just looking for something a little different. The cost for these graphics were around $60, and well worth the price. They covered a lot of wall space and gave the entire room a calm and moving feel of nature, and I’ve always loved the idea of bringing nature into your home. However, bringing in actual branches would be pretty complicated, so we did the next best thing, vinyl tree branches! Before I found out about Blik I had envisioned myself painting the branches on myself, and thankfully I didn’t have to spend any time painting on the walls with these. I did this alone so the whole ordeal took me a little more than an hour to finish, and the only hard part was keeping the bigger pieces from folding and sticking to each other when you are placing it on the wall. A second pair of hands would have made it easier to apply, but it still was still pretty easy without. I plan on getting some more graphics from Blik for my office, and I definitely recommend it to anyone looking to spice up their wall with something unique.
Enjoy the pics, and check out the gallery for more!

Oh, you’re nursery is gorgeous! The Blik graphics are a great idea-I’ll have to run that by Kris! Your cat in the crib is hilarious-ours are loving what they think is their new hide-out. Ha, ha, ha!
BTW-Babies R Us classes-I was very skeptical but thought to give one a shot-it was sponsored and the instructor was trained and educated and I was impressed. I encourage you two to check them out.
