Stuck On You

Mishap

I spied these last week over on a Merry Mishap and keep going back to her post to admire them. It's kind of like the ever popular wall decals on steroids. Something about their three dimensionality really strikes me as ideal. They'll cast shadows and change in appearance throughout the day - and yet still require very little commitment. Just lovely.

Oddly enough, they are magnetic, so they would work on my refrigerator far better than my wall. But they also come with tacks, so you could use them on the wall as pictured. I can't say why, but I really like these.  All this for $40.

What the beautiful people are saying...

Like them...but I envision them requiring lots of dusting and cleaning to stay that pristine white. I suspect our cleaning people already think we're an extra commitment :)

That's a great thought, actually. Trust me, I don't want anything else that requires dusting... I'm too fastidious for that. LOL.

How pretty

You could actually paint a fraction of your wall with magnetic paint to have something like that...

You can paint with a regular color above the magnetic paint and it won't show...

They are super cute

Very attractive-I would like them as magnets on my refrigerator, but think they may be too much cleaning effort on a wall.

I like them! More sophisticated than some of the wall stickers I have seen! I wouldn't worry too much about dusting, they can probably be cleaned quite easily by soaking them in warm water. Good find!

these could very well be the very first wall adhesives i actually consider...i'm loving their movement, you know?

had to kirtsy this!

A nice twist on wall decals. Don't think these will work for me, though. I put up those glow-in-the-dark stars in my three year old son's room and he loves pulling them off the wall. These would definitely be in danger from him!

Those are a fun item! I have a client who would go crazy for those in her little girls room!

I think these are super fun! Totally worth the dusting effort!

I absolutely relate to the cleaning issue. It's an excellent aspect to think about before installing.

I do - however - love the idea of the use of metallic/magnetic paint, allowing them to become flexible like refrigerator magnets. It solves the cleaning issue - and makes it more engaging for a little girl's room. Terrific solution!

Love those....I don't think I would mind having to clean them...(well maybe a little) but they are FAB

I do have these and love them!! You dust them, my loves, like your other wall art...frames, paintings, mirrors, but gently. My living spaces are open. I bought two (25) each and started them from my dining room into the living area...then I took about 8 I have left over and continued the "theme" on a wall in my kitchen. Kitchy, cool style. Thanks for posting this Franki...gr8 find!

Something to say, gorgeous?
