When we were looking for a new house there were a number of “must haves”: more space, more space, room for the kids’ toys, and more space. When we first walked through our new home, Hubby and I looked at each other and smiled because we knew this house had everything we needed and more. The only problem was he saw the large, light filled room in the basement as his future man cave. You know the drill; he assumed it would be a room he could keep dark and cold, lined with comfy couches and reclining chairs that would swallow him up on the weekends as he watched every major league and college sport imaginable. Sorry, honey! Welcome to your kids’ new toy room! If Mamma can’t pee alone, you surely aren’t getting a man cave!
In our old house, the kids’ toys were creeping into every inch of our living space, and I couldn’t breathe without being assaulted by one of their toys. I was actually giddy when unpacking their new toy room.
“Look at all of these toys in ONE space! I don’t remember how to cook without a scooter, baby doll, and drum set at my feet!”
Mimi’s play kitchen and princesses fit perfectly on one side, a corner for their musical instruments, the books and art table will fit right there, and Monkey’s beloved train table and collection of cars, planes and trucks fit on the other side. I stood back and looked at my organizational masterpiece and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then five minutes later it looked like a hurricane went through the toy room, but hey, they weren’t in my kitchen so just turn off the lights and ignore the mess!
A few weeks ago I was looking around the disaster zone toy room and realized that while my kids’ personalities shine through in their favorite toys, the blank walls just didn’t do this room justice. So when Canopi and Fathead® suggested I check out the selection of kid’s wall decals, I knew this was the perfect way to make this a space of their own!
My kids would go BANANAS over any of the Disney decals, but it was Bucky, Jake, and Captain Hook that were the big winners! Since we watch Jake and the Neverland Pirates 487 times a day, I wasn’t shocked when the kids started singing the theme song when the box with the decal arrived.
Bye-bye boring beige walls! Hello Jake and the Neverland Pirates fabulouness!!! Look how amazing this decal is! It’s big, bright, colorful, and could be arranged so many ways. Talk about a statement wall! Yay hey, YES way.
To be honest, I had no idea that Fathead ® made so many different wall decals. It’s not just HUGE sports decals. One we got one up, I wanted to pick more and more. Here are the decals that other bloggers picked:
Aren’t these great? They really have a decal for everyone. Check out Beth from Arrow in the Eye. She picked the Fenway Park Skyline mural. If you are stuck in your home office, at least you have a beautiful scenery, right?
Can you believe I put the entire decal up myself? Well I did AND I had both kids running around demanding chocolate milk and snacks while I worked. So if I can put the decal up under those circumstances, you can do it too!
Seriously, head over to Fathead® and check out what they have to for you and your family! Seeing my kids burst into song and dance every time they see Bucky was so worth it, “For Real”™!
I want the tree one. Hook a girl up, would ya?! 😉
They are AMAZING! I really had no idea they had anything other than athletes. There were so many the kids would love, I had a hard time picking. Now I am looking into what other decals we can put up!
OMGosh, I love the one of the trees and the one of the window. These are probably the best wall decals that I have came across. I am definitely headed over to check them out. Thanks for sharing this one!!
Isn’t it beautiful? They have tons of different categories to pick from. I am so happy with the decal and it was super easy to put up. Seriously, if I can do it ANYONE can do it!
Very cute idea for a playroom! I’ll definitely go check them out and tweeting this too!
Thank you!!!
I love it! So perfect for a playroom! And your kids are just too darn adorable 🙂
Thank you!!!
Those are awesome! I have decals in my son’s room now, but they’re kind of babyish, and he’s about due for a change. Thanks for turning me on to Fathead!
Yes! If you don’t find something you like, you can even upload your own picture. But if you son loves anything Disney, you can find great decals!
Oh my gosh those are awesome! I am heading over to check out more stuff now!
Good! Let me know what you find!
This is great! Thanks for sharing… I love the “Kids Free Living” decal. My son would go crazy for the Jake and the Neverland pirates decal! This would make a great birthday present for my little man! I’ll have to keep this in mind. Thanks again for posting! ~Leah~
Great idea! They are so easy to put up but the really have the “wow factor” because the are so big and colorful
Love all the great pics! that kids room is amazing!
Thank you!
I keep saying when I redo my house I will get a million different ones! My son would love all the sports ones and I would love the fancy ones! As for my daughter she is weird so who knows what she would like? LOL
Let her pick! You can even upload your own picture and they would make it a decal. How cool is that?
LOVE this! Honestly, Nate was so excited when we put his up that I thought about getting them for ALL the kids rooms! Easy and when Danika outgrows princesses, I can just peel it off the wall!
Yes! I think we are going to order a few princesses for the other side of the toy room. They are so great!
I have the SAME toy problem…it completely drives me crazy! Love these….the pirate ship is particularly cute. Don’t tell my fiance, though, or we’ll have Sidney Crosby in our bedroom. :p
Ha! My husband wanted all of the West Virginia University decals but I said “no”. I told him he can have them when he lives with his next wife hehe
That pirate ship is awesome – it looks great!
Thank you!!
Those look terrific, great detail and coloring!
Those are actually really cool! My son would love the Darth Vader … except we have textured walls, so I don’t think these would work.
Your kids looked really excited about it … and–BONUS!–you didn’t have to paint! Yay! 🙂
YES!!! It was painless. Painting and me don’t mix!
oh what a lovely set of decals you have for your kids room. love that pirate theme! wish our walls are not wallpaper 🙁
Thanks! Well if you ever take the wallpaper down, try these decals. They are great!
