Ask Us - Furniture Modifying

We recently received this email from a customer and I thought I would share it with you (with their consent).

Customer -
Hi, I've recently bought the stars stickers from you, as I love the image of the
I'm really happy with them, so thank you! On the off chance, do you know where the chest of drawers are from in this image, as I'd love to get the full look.

Response-
I’m afraid I don’t know where the drawers are from exactly. However I do know that Ikea do something similar called the Mammut.

If you like these you could modify them to look more like the ones in our pic by painting the knobs and feet in orange. We also sell some uncut Buttercup vinyl for you to cover the fronts of the drawers. I do this a lot at home, my little girls room just had cheap wooden furniture in, but now it is white and bright pink stripes.

The beauty of this is that you can customise furniture with the same colours as your wall stickers which enables you to tie in your designs and will no doubt make all your friends think you are brilliant ;)

A Source of inspiration

As we mentioned at the start of the year, one of the things Wall Glamour is trying to do in 2010 is help you be more creative, our Wall Sticker Ideas page is quite popular but is started to look a bit same-ish...

Not for long!

We've got a few ideas bouncing about the office about ways of showing out product (including a possible new product cart) but the one thing we've discussed is... we need you!

We would love pictures, video anything you have about your stickers that we've sent you, just send them across to studio@wallglamour.co.uk and when we launch the new page, you might be featured!

Wall Glamour Stickers Giveaway!

Welcome back, we here at Wall Glamour hope you enjoyed your break (if you had one!)

The start of the year marks the return of our Twitter competition, we will be giving away some free wallstickers, every wednesday to some of our twitter followers.

That's all you have to do, follow @wallglamour.

No tweeting a silly hashtag or anything just follow.

Have a good week.

Happy Christmas + New Year from Wall Glamour

We've been quiet recently, too quiet.. It's not that we've not done anything... quite the opposite in fact in 2009 we've added over 100 new stickers to our range, we've been featured on several major television programs and we've given our website a much needed revamp but that's not what this post is about.

We hope you had a fantastic Christmas Day and are looking forward to the new year.

2010 is going to be a big year for Wall Glamour from adding MORE products and ranges to producing some nice tools to help you visualise the wall stickers in your home.

Our corporate site is currently being revamped as is the 'ideas' section (of course if you have any ideas about that please let us know!)

We also plan to update this blog a lot more (but I guess everyone says that :) )

Have a good week

Bespoke Wall Stickers

I thought I would just do a quick little post about a couple of bespoke wall stickers we have done recently. The first job was for a chap who had a picture of his new little puppy that he wanted a wall sticker making from. This is the image we used to create his wall sticker.

And this is the result, and it would appear Benny (the dog) was also impressed.


The other project was not so much a wall sticker as a guitar sticker, the customer supplied the artwork and we printed it and this is the finished result, which the customer was over the moon about.

FYI

I thought I'd just drop a quick note it to say that we were recently filming on an episode of 60 Minute Makeover, with Colin and Justin. For the show we fitted a slightly modified version of our tree, as with any of our products we do have the facility to taylor the design to suit the need and with 60MM they required a tall thin tree. I'll do a full post with pics shortly, a bit closer to the air date.

Also in other news Londinium Espresso a friend of Wall Glamour has just launched their new website. So take a quick peek and here at Wall Glamour we can tell you that all of their coffee is awesome but we especially like the Columbian.

Our new website is totally on it's way after a few months of being put on the back burner, now the heat is turned up full so expect in imminently. If you subscride to the blog we'll post when it is up and the first 100 customers we receive a code that will get them twice as much for their money.

I will shortly be posting a little feature on Nurserys as I have just finished designing and fitting my little one's out. I thought that as we do have quite a few Mums buying for new arrivals that a little bit of inspiration may be helpful.

And while we are talking about babies etc why not pop over to Life in a Sippy Cup a blog written by a twitter friend of ours who talks about some rather cool Kid's and Mum's stuff. If you like the look of these cards I'm afraid you just missed the fantastic giveaway, but I'd keep an eye out for more. Franki's other blog is Life in a Venti Cup which covers style, design, modern culture and travel.

Silence

After very little activity on our blog for quite a while, I thought I would explain myself. So many people start blogs and then they tail off as they realise what a commitment they are. Well that is partly responsible for the lack of attention here on the Wall Glamour blog but only a really tiny part, the other huge part is that fact that we have been working on our new website which has been taking up a considerable amount of time.

The New website has some cool extra features like a "wish list", where you can save products to come back to later. We also having a mailing list sign-up-thingy which will be for us a first. We have typically shyed away from emailing all our customers as we didn't want to fill you inbox with another email, but now we have come up with some more ideas and think that a magazine which gives you cool ideas and products (which are not ours) might actually be some use. For the most part we have been refining our product range offering more multicoloured options on designs, like these Balloon in our new Citrus colour scheme....and we have created a whole load of new designs. We also have a new series of very cool stickers by an illustrator who has a fantastic style, we hope you'll agree when you see them.

Finally, we have been undergoing some restucturing as Wall Glamour was only ever a side project for us, but has now become our main focus, we have new staff members and new ones coming soon and a new vision for what we are to become. As well as our sticker range we have also been developing new products for your walls and hope to bring them to market before Christmas.

With all that said we are very much looking forward to the next few weeks and months and hope you'll check back to see us before too long....and we hope to get back to blogging.
