I've always liked the birch trees on this nursery:
The storage bench became the anchor for the wall and then there was another long pause. I finally got a spark of motivation when I painted a new mirror from black/gold to turquoise/white and hung it on the wall. I considered hand painting, but I know this room will become one of the kids' rooms in the next year or so and didn't want to have to paint over tree lines. I vetoed the birch tree wall stencil because my eye kept picking up the repetitive pattern of the stencil. I continued to be drawn to vinyl tree designs selling for approx. $60-$100 and then found a vendor with a high rating selling for under $30.
Vinyl decals are pretty much a no-brainer. They are easy to apply and they are removable. I have skip troweled walls in my house and the vinyl provides nice crisp lines even on textured walls.
I didn't apply the trees in the sequence the vendor had neatly mapped out in a color diagram for application. I also didn't add most of the leaves, but may add more over time. This was never a wall I wanted to rush and I'm glad I took my time in deciding what would work best for the space.







Great job! I had the black winter trees at our old ouse and loved them on the light gray background. This is so dramatic. Love!!!
