Slobber + Crayons = art?

Wall art….

Normally in my house we make our own.  Twin Boy once took it upon himself to decorate the wall on the stairs with red and blue crayons.  As his parents we can clearly see the artistic genius in the carefully thought out scribbles, but for some reason visitors to the house see it as merely looking like a child drew badly on the wall.

Rabid hound also likes to add to our wall decor, following a meal she likes to position herself in the lounge and shake her head slowly from side to side allowing big clumps of drool to fall our of her jaws splashing onto the wall.  Nothing, I tell you, nothing can remove dog slobber from a wall.

However I have found the answer to my prayers, check out this funky stuff at The Binary Box, they offer fantastic wall stickers for all areas of the house, so where I can’t remove rabid hounds mark I can now hide it.  I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my latest wall art for my lounge that will look like this…..

How cool?

In short The Binary Box offers affordable easy to apply wall stickers that are incredibly versatile and I am offering one lucky reader a chance to win £100 worth of vouchers for the site so you can decorate your own home.  You can choose one of the contemporary Banksy designs, or one of the stunning children’s selection, or go all out and make a real talking point for your home by adding a London Bus.

                                                                                                 

I don’t think I can rave about this company enough, all the stickers offer really good value for money and they have such a range of ideas and they look simply fabulous.

So how do you win?

Pretty simple really – just leave a comment telling me which stickers you would spend the prize money on.  Pop over to their site here and leave me a way of contacting you.  If you want to RT and Facebook for extra entries please be my guest just let me know you have.

 There are three prizes;

 1st prize: £100 to spend on www.thebinarybox.co.uk

2nd prize: Flower Tree wall sticker, worth £39.99

3rd prize: Blackboard Jars wall stickers, worth £19.99

    Oh, how cool! I want space invaders, a tea time whiteboard sticker, a banksy maid and I’ve lost track of how much that is! Must be around the £100 which is a shame as I could keep going quite happily…

I would have to choose the woodland scene wall stickers and then for the bathroom the Penguin army stickers. I would also like the personalised logo sticker so I could do what I wanted with it. Ooh but the banksy rat collection is really cool, and I love the idea of the Black board sticker and teh banksy fallen angel damn there is just too many to choose.

    Well, I’d love some black cats, because we’re living in rented accommodation and can’t have our own cat – and I don’t think a house is a home without a furry feline. And I like the chalkboards – you can never have enough places to make lists and our house is becoming overrun with yellow Post-It notes. The palm trees remind me of sunnier, warmer times, and the woodland animals are very cute, too. In fact, it would be pretty tough deciding what to spend the money on…

    Only yesterday I was looking at the bland, mundane cream walls in my front room thinking that I’d like to paint a mural to liven it up. However, I cannot paint anything more impressive than a wavy line and I don’t think my landlord would be massively impressed with me defacing his magnolia masterpiece.

    Step forward wall stickers; the answer to the problem. I initially doubted they would be my cup of tea but it turns out they’re my digestive biscuit as well. I’m loving the Banksy stickers, especially the girl with the balloon, the sweepy sweepy maid and the rat with the blackboard. There really aren’t enough rats with blackboards these days.
