A Kir Thing

I have been thinking about adding some vinyl wall art to my living room. Have you heard of it? It's rather like a sticker or rub-on transfer. You attach it to your wall with a few steps (shown below) and when you tire of it (if ever!), you can simply peel it from the wall--leaving no residue.
But the problem is, our house was built sometime before 1900, and our walls are plaster--and very uneven and bumpy in spots. I didn't want to buy the art, try to attach it, and have it not adhere. I emailed Single Stone Studios and asked about how they thought it would work, and they emailed me a free sample! How nice.
I was thinking they might send a tiny letter or something, but instead, they sent this fabulous bird! She was very easy to apply, and she looks great. Here are the steps:
1: Make sure wall surface is dust free.
2: Burnish the wall art by rubbing mightily with a credit card (this makes it stick to the vinyl...)
3: Run a piece of tape along the top of the wall art (on the backside) to position it.


4: Flip the art up and remove the paper backing. Then flip it back down (carefully--it's really sticky) to the wall.

5: Rub the wall art again with the card (I just used my thumb, actually) to make it cling to the wall. You can lift the paper carefully if you're curious (like I am) and want to make sure it's sticking.

6: When the art is fully adhered to the wall, slowly peel the paper off and admire your wall art. If some of it didn't stick, smooth the paper back down and rub a little more.

Sit back and admire her!

I'm definitely going to be hitting Single Stone Studios up for a purchase soon. This bird was easy to apply (took MAYBE ten minutes total) and looks hand-painted. I'm thinking about painting my own little branch beneath her feet--but don't tell the MAN. He's not a big fan of painting on walls.
