Wall decals for our study wall - 3/4 completed

Since my previous update, we positioned the maple leaves on the wall and left them there for a week. The purpose is to confirm our liking for the position of the leaves, haha. After a week (20 Jan), we finally removed the backing and applied the leaves on the wall for good. That same week, I also received some sample decals I requested from Modishop. Lol, they were too slow. By the time they mailed me the sample, we had already ordered and applied on our wall decals from Wink Play, lol.

I cut out several sizes of paper and stuck them on the wall to visualize how the wall will look with photo frames. After coming up with more than 20 mock-ups, we finally decided on the following:



Went to IKEA 2 Saturdays ago (23 Jan) and bought 3 of these:



As we are planning to fill 1 frame (3 photos) with pics from our US trip, we can only hang the frames in May after our return. So now they are lying in the study gathering dust. In the meanwhile, the old cat removed the nail on the wall that supported our big portrait. Filled up the hole with putty and used sandpaper to even out the surface. We're also not going to let the Modishop sample go to waste. Planning to apply the bird and dragonfly somewhere near the 3 photo frames, haha!

Will post pics once it is completed!
