Lewa's Designs (Wall Decals) - Review and Giveaway (CLOSED)

**CLOSED**

Congrats to Crystal C! She is the lucky winner of the Wall Decal Giveaway!

As some of you already know, I have been working on redoing my living room. It was a very dark burgundy color and it did nothing to brighten my mood. It definitely needed a change! I wanted to go for a more natural and earthy feel. Something that fits my personality.

After choosing the new wall color (which I love by the way), I still felt that there was a little something missing. I kept saying to myself "how can I bring the outdoor elements into my living room, while also keeping a modern feel within the room"? Then it hit me... a wall decal!

After doing a little searching, I came across Lewa's Designs. The selection there is superior and will keep your creative juices flowing. The huge selection includes tree decals, sports decals, nursery decals, car decals....you name it! There's so much to choose from! Even better, the color selection is awesome and the prices are amazing!! I learned after doing some searching, that these wall decals can get quite high in price. You won't find that at Lewa's Designs. Psst... as a special treat for being one of our readers, Lewa's Designs has offered you all a 15% discount! Just use code dailygoodie at checkout.

I was told to wait 2 weeks after painting, to apply the decal. I tried. I really did...but when it arrived and I saw how beautiful the decal was, I knew I wasn't going to make it. The box kept calling out to me. It would say "Renee, open me. I'm too beautiful to hide". Ok, so maybe it didn't really speak, but I was so excited and anxious, I didn't make it past 2 days lol. Fortunately, the paint I used was (very) dry in only 30 minutes.

I'll admit, I was a bit apprehensive about applying the decal. It's rather large. I was afraid that I would get air bubbles while applying it, and ruin the whole thing. I'm proud to report though, that it was all in my head. Her easy to follow instructions (which are included with your decal), alleviated my anxiety...and away I went. As you can see in the photo (pictured to the right), the decal I chose came out beautifully!

Applying the decal was much easier then I initially thought it would be. There are a few basic (but important) steps. If you follow these simple directions, your decal will come out perfect with very minimal effort.

Before placing the decal on your wall, make sure the surface is clean (and dry). If there is any dust, give it a quick wipe down with a damp cloth. Once it dries, you're ready to move on to the next step. With the area prepped, position the decal on your wall, where you'd like it to end up once finished, and hold it in place with a few pieces of tape. Note: Do not peel either side just yet.


Once you're happy with the positioning, grab a credit card and rub the entire surface, applying pressure with each pass. This will ensure that your decal sticks properly. After you've smoothed it out, peel back (separate) a small portion of the under layer (paper). Don't separate the whole thing as it's best to work in sections.

With a pair of scissors, remove the excess paper from the under layer, and smooth the decal onto the wall, using your handy dandy credit card. You're going to rub the top layer, which will adhere the decal to your wall. It's best to smooth from the inner area, outwards. You'll be less likely to end up with air bubbles that way.


Continue the process of smoothing/rubbing, until the entire decal is on the wall, and you're left with nothing but paper. Remember, cut the excess paper from the underside as you go. Otherwise, it will get in your way. It shouldn't take you more then 15 minutes, and that's if you're being extremely careful (which I was). You have to admit that 15 minutes of your time, for something this beautiful and bold, is simply amazing! Best of all, it comes out looking like a mural, not a vinyl wall decal. Pretty neat.



The only thing left at this point, was for me to add the leaves. The process is pretty much the same but I did not need to tape the leaves down. I just cut around each one, peeled back the under side of the paper, stuck the leaves where I wanted them, and rubbed my credit card across the outer layer of paper. Once it was in place, I slowly peeled the outer layer off. That's it! A simple task for an exquisite design!
