So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Vinyl Lettering - A New Trend In Home Decorating

By Anna Holdaway

Since about 1996, stenciling words onto your walls has been a growing trend in interior design, however, stenciling has traditionally been reserved for upscale homes due to the cost and labor involved in achieving a professional looking result.

This new design technique of using vinyl to create custom sayings stemmed from the practice of hand stenciling words onto walls, which has been used in interior design for decades. However, many would argue that it was only for the lavish and well to do among us because of the expensive nature of hiring an artist to paint sayings on your walls.

Having a custom stenciled look is no longer reserved for those who can afford to have the wall lettering painted on, but is available to even those who are seeking to decorate on a modest budget. Wall Words and custom wall lettering are now available to anyone wanting to achieve a hand stenciled look " at literally a fraction of the cost.

Not only can vinyl lettering serve the same purpose as a hand-painted stenciled look, but vinyl lettering is actually better than stenciling for a couple of reasons. First, vinyl lettering is easy to apply, there is no messy cleanup, and costs less than paint. Secondly, vinyl lettering, or Wall Words, are removable without damaging the walls, so there is no need to repaint. This provides those living in apartments, or other temporary living spaces to decorate with a hand-stenciled look, because you can simply remove the wall words at any time " no need to repaint!

So why use it? Is a stenciled quote right for your interior design plan? If youre asking those questions, chances are you havent seen a wall quote done by a professional company like Wall Stamps, or the other professional vinyl lettering design companies out there. The effect it can achieve in a room is amazing, and can add a wealth of warmth and charm to almost any room in your home " yes, even your bathroom or pantry.

After youve seen some samples of wall lettering done right, youll at the very least be curious as to how you could use them in your own home. Try using them in a childs room by stenciling a favorite childrens song or quote as a border around the room. Or put your little girls name in soft pink above her bed. There are many amazing things you can do with the lettering, and the options are only limited by your own creativity.
