Kitchen Decor with Kitchen Wall Decals -- Kitchen Decorating Ideas

Some people kitchen decorating ideas include using Western decor or country decor as well as using vintage themed decor for accenting your kitchen. These types of kitchen decorating ideas creates a calm and relaxed environment reminiscent of a time before loud kitchen appliances. To visualize this type of antique kitchen decor imagine having  a rooster decal above the stove. Applying country kitchen decorations on the doors to the entrance doors  of your kitchen also can help create this environment.

Some may prefer having kitchen decor with a specific theme while others may rather have images of their favorite moments as wall art in their kitchen. The possibilities are limited only by how many images you wish to print and apply. Pictures of graduations, weddings, kid’s sports games or dance recitals are all excellent kitchen decorating ideas. These kitchen decorating ideas can go up not only on your wall, but on cabinets, tile and refrigerators as well.

No matter who you are or where you are from your kitchen decorating ideas can be realized at sticviews through kitchen decor and kitchen decals that can be placed on nearly any flat surface. Apply stickers or decals of a vintage kitchen or use country cottage decor with sunflower stickers.

Watch the video below demonstrating how quickly and easily it is to apply a large sticker or decal to a cabinet.

Custom Wrought Iron Cabinet With Custom Decals and Window Decals

I wanted to showcase an awesome use for custom decals for home decor using sticviews.  One of our customers ordered wrought iron decals on white stic to decorate her entertainment center!  How awesome does it look using custom decals to decorate and give the furniture an updated look?

Wrought iron designs (which are featured in our gallery) have been used for window decor, but I never thought about using wrought iron on furniture!  I wanted to feature this innovative idea.  What do you think about it?  Not only did she use images from our gallery, but she customized them with the “M” in the center of the two smaller wrought iron designs to create a monogram -- what a neat idea!

Using sticviews for home decor really adds some great style to the room.  Also using the dark wrought iron ties into the dark of the “Love,” “Family,” and “Joy” words featured over the entertainment center.

Tell me what you think of this idea of using sticviews to create a new, affordable look for your living room.  I’d love to have some feedback!

So, you have these boring tables around  your house and you’re not sure what to do with them to make them look better.  You could go the painting route, but why not pick a design that you can change easily over time.  Using sticviews you can create custom skins for your tables or other home furnishings.  We had two white square tables in our office and we wanted to spruce them up.  I want to show you how easy it is to re-finish your tables using sticviews custom table skins.

Refinishing Coffee Tables with Custom Skins, Custom Skins, and Custom Decals

The supplies you need to re-finish your tables are simple: the custom sticker from sticviews, a spray bottle of water (or damp cloth), a small squeegee or credit card, a tape measure and scissors.

First you want to clean the surface of your table.  You never know what dust is on the surface and it can get stuck to the sticker and leave bumps.  If you want to make your skin fit really well to the surface of your table make sure to wipe it down with water or surface cleaner.  Having a clean surface allows the custom sticker to stick really smoothly to the surface of the table.

Next you want to measure the table to make sure your custom sticker will fit exactly.  Now, you can order the custom sticker to fit exactly to the surface, but we’ve found it to be easier to make the sticker just a little larger than the actual surface so you can trim to fit.  After you measure the table cut the sticker to fit.

Now that you have the sticker cut to fit your table it’s time to start skinning!  Using your spray bottle generously spray the adhesive side of your custom sticker and the top of the table.  Spraying the surface allows for you to easily slide the sticker on the surface to fit it to the corners more precisely.  Once you have the sticker on you can use the squeegee to smooth the surface out to avoid air bubbles. (I used a paper towel to catch the water as it came out from under the sticker.)

And there you have it your newly furnished custom tables!  Using sticviews to create a unique look for your tables is a great afternoon project.  It’s always helpful to  have another pair of hands -- this is something your kids would love to help with!

You can select from the many designs we have on the sticviews website or upload your own design or picture.  We have everything from animal print to modern design or landscapes.  Maybe you want to skin a table with a family photograph or a picture of a beautiful flower -- the possibilities are endless with sticviews custom stickers!! Amy over at Living Locurto also skinned her kids tables.  Check out her blog here to see her table skins.  What DIY projects could you use sticviews for?  I’d love to hear your feedback!

So, you’ve started a blog or a business and you’re building a following -- now what?  Now is the time to start really learning from the experts.  Tradeshows and conferences are a great way to meet other entrepreneurs in your business area and learn from the best in the industry.  For example, conferences such as Blissdom and BlogHer are for the women bloggers, SxSW for music, film and interactive, Blog World Expo for all bloggers, and many more tradeshows are great opportunities to learn from others.  Sticviews is sponsoring Amy Locurto and Angie Arthur of I Heart Faces for the Blissdom conference this February, and we wanted to pass along some useful hints for being prepared to attend your conference.

1. Business Cards – We just got some really awesome business cards from moo.com and we’re really excited to get them shipped in. Hopefully we’ll have them in time for the next Social Media Club Dallas event with Chris Brogan on the 21^st!  Business cards are a great way to give your contact information to people you meet and helps you follow up with people after the conference is over.  You can always go with innovative creative designs like the ones on Web Designer Depot.  TIP: Make sure to put your social network contact information on your cards (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc) -- many people forget! And you could always be creative. Amy Locurto handed out her business cards with a little Valentine’s Day sticker gift -- no one threw those away!
   
   

   

2. Create a list before you go of questions you’d like answered or specific people you want to seek out. You don’t want to miss the opportunity to talk to someone who has more experience in particular areas that could really be of benefit to you and your website.  TIP: You can tweet about your questions too!  If you don’t have a smart phone or a laptop for the weekend I recommend you borrowing one for the weekend.
3. Laptop skins – If you are a known blogger, or a beginner, getting a laptop skin with your blog name or banner on it really helps people put a face to the name of your blog. What a great way to promote your blog through technology.  Angie and Amy from I Heart Faces received their laptop skins from sticviews. Remember…it’s hard to recognize faces, but it helps when people can recognize your blog banner or twitter profile photo.  Amy Locurto recommends putting your blog banner and your Twitter photo on the laptop skin works great.
4. iPhone skins – Do you have an iPhone or another smart phone? You can get custom decals to fit on the back of your phone (see below) to also promote your blog.
   
5. T-shirts – This is always a fun thing to have around. Another great way to make your brand known while walking around a conference. Nomee handed out free t-shirts at the Twestival event last year -- great way to build awareness and recognition of your brand.
   
6. Camera – You never know who you are going to meet at the conference, and it’s a great way to showcase things you saw when you blog about your experience.
7. Do some research on the presenters of the conference. It’s good to come in well prepared to soak up the knowledge they have to offer without having to figure out who the people are before hand.
8. Mints or gum – you are going to be doing a lot of talking, and you should pay the favor to your neighbor!

There are always lists on the conference sites of extra things to bring, but this list is pretty comprehensive of things you need to bring!  Is there something you won’t go to a conference without?  Let us know.

That means they can be used for any variety of fun, creative projects.

The jr. cheerleading squad of Brooke (daughter of sticview’s CEO, Bryce) have been using a creative storage and seating solution for when they cheer on their football teams – buckets decorated with custom decals. They function as chairs when they’re not jumping up and down during their spirited cheers, and they serve as storage for their pom poms and other props when the game’s over. Each bucket is decorated with custom decals printed with their team mascot – a bear, and they’re also personalized with the name of each cheerleader. Not only are the custom sticker labels decorative, but they also let every girl know where to put her things and where to sit when there’s down-time.

For Brooke’s cheerleading squad, they made 10 x 15 in. custom stickers on sticviews.com by uploading a graphic of their Bears logo in Step 3, adding their names with the text editor, and choosing white stic for their sticker material. The buckets had previously been decorated with paint markers and permanent markers, but they faded and rubbed off with wear and tear. Because sticviews are waterproof, durable, and easy to apply, sticviews custom decals were a perfect way to re-vamp the cheerleaders’ bucket chairs.

These were the cheerleaders’ bucket chairs before they applied sticviews custom decals:
