Britains Next Top Model - Wall Glamour in the house!

Photo competition round up

At the moment we have been exceptionally busy with orders, so I'd like to thank everyone for considering our stickers good enough to feature in their homes. I'm not quite sure why we have been so busy I'd like to think we've finally made our mark in the world, but I am also hearing from a few other website owners that sales are up.

Anyway on to the business of our photo comp, in Jan we published one entry from Gifty, as she was the only entrant she has become the first winner of the year with this pic.

Then in February we did not put up our entries as we thought we'd try to encourage people to enter who were, maybe, put off by other peoples entries. And we had three entrants with these pics...



We love these photos of Anke's bedroom, it's lovely clean and crisp.



And we also love these couple of pics from Emma. You can just see a nautical themed rug on the
floor which ties in with the use of Pirates, Underwater and Waves in Emma's nursery.

And lastly we had these brilliant photos from Kelly & Scott, the above photos are fab and would win any other month unfortunately the were entered all in the same month so we have to pick one and the winner is....



We just love the way they have taken a theme and ran with it from the curtains to the cuddly toys this is just such a great execution. On the striking red wall they have used white Polka Dots from our Geo Shapes range and then a set of Leafy 04 in Olive green and a few sets of Ladybirds. And it probably cost less than £150 to decorate, and I'm sure you'll agree it looks great.

The red blind with the little white dots matches the wall, the linen in the cot is clearly from a matching set with the curtains and the cot even has a little leaf sunshade.

Check out our Squidoo page where we talk about this project in more detail.

MyDeco

Just a little bit of info for you, we'll soon be adding a special range of products to one of the latest (and cooler) online homestores. We're quite excited about our stickers sitting alongside products from Crush, Blue Marmalade and other cool furniture makes.

More info soon.

Look 2

It's nice when it happens and this week we are featured in Look magazine. We had a call from the nice people at Look and they wondered if we would give their readers a special discount, of course we said yes. So quick go out and buy your copy of Look this week to get 20% off until April.

Ask Us!

The other day I was thinking about how to create a new feature called Ask Us! where we could answer your questions on decorating. I was trying to think of a really cool technology to do this with...alas someone beat me to it with one of the simplest things ever, yes someone emailed me. How do we miss the easiest option? Anyway I thought I'd kick off introducing this little feature by showing you what we did.

> The Email
Hi there, we are in the middle of decorating our bathroom and i'm looking for inspiration on your wall art. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to send me some ideas. I also have a wee girl that'll be 2 soon but i quite like the "hotel bathroom" look so it would be combining fun with funky. Thank you so much for your time - and the website looks great! Kindest Regards.

> Our Response
Have a look at this and see what you think, I think it should give you a few options for keeping your hotel look but still having a splash of colour and interest for your daughter.


> Their Response
Thank you for doing that for me Rick, those ideas are fab! I just love the way you can change a whole room by using something so simple - it's great!
Thanks again for all your help.
Kindest Regards

So feel free to get in touch we cannot guarantee we'll be able to do it instantly, but we'd love to have a go at answering your questions. Email us at askus@wallglamour.co.uk

An offer we can't refuse...

Just a quick hello from us.
If you are new to Wall Glamour or an old friend any feedback you can give us will be rewarded with a nice 10% off voucher. Email us on ideas (at) wallglamour.co.uk

Whether it's about our service, our designs, shipping we use, spelling mistakes on the site :) or giving us some useful ideas. In fact I'll go one step further and say that any ideas you send us and we love we'll make and give you the first one off the production line for free (pls note production will not commence until march).

BTW...flattery works, but isn't counted on its own! So if you said "oh you are brilliant" that's nice, but not feedback. However if you said "oh you are brilliant, but your instructions need to be bigger". Then we'll count that as feed back.

Here are just a couple of examples that have come out of you guys telling us what you want us to produce.

Footprints
Beach Set
Lotus Flower
Pirates
Pirate Ship
Polka Dots
Ladybirds
Love Hearts
Handprints


And there are more than that. We are a small team of designers so we can easily adapt and create one off bespoke graphics of your ideas. We cannot re-create copyrighted images, the work has to be your own if you are supplying the artwork.

Some interesting things

I've been looking through the internet and found some great things of late that I thought I'd let you know about. If you are new to Wall Glamour we know that wall stickers are only part of 'the look' and we are often out there looking for cool kit and furniture. So this is a mini list of what is happening out there. You will also find links in the side bar to cool sites like Design Spotter and Moco Loco that feature these kind of products, so if you want more check them out.

First off, we loved this bird box that we found on Design Spotter with adjustable hole for your favourite birds. It's a chic pad for a little chick. (sorry ;)

When we were at the Grand Designs Show last year we found loads of cool objects that were simple but functional designs, and we love this bungee seat from Fishbol in Canada as it justfits so well into that category.

Finally I know Christmas has gone but if you are looking for the next cool thing for your kids, uber cool Playsam products are what you want. These products are Scandinavian designed they are simple shapes which have a very high finish. Our favourite is the Xtreamliner Cab but I'm sure you'll agree all of them look great. Playsam products can be bought in the UK from Funktionalley in their Kids section.

PS. Check out the cool little video on YouTube for Playsam.
