 I’ve discovered a site that gives a whole new meaning to dressing up your walls. When we think of putting stuff on the wall, we typical think pictures, maybe shelves… but Wall Candy (The Ultimate Design on Blogspot) is something totally different and my mind is racing with all the possibilities for our own home. I personally love words and quotes, and with Wall Candy, you can create any word or quote you’d like (even monograms!) and in your choice of font. This would be a great way to personalize – you could put names above the towel hooks in the bathroom so there is no confusion on who’s is who’s or you could put the family name over the family portrait or set of family pictures. The possibilities are endless.Â
Â
A little about Abby from Wall Candy:
Â
I am a crazy busy halfway stay at home mom, I teach cheer camps during the summer and gymnastics classes the rest of the time, I have been doing vinyl signs in my spare time for the last three years, and my latest obsession is making little girls tutus. I have two beautiful daughters, ‘4 and 1′, and am married to the most wonderful man.

I have a large, unused wall going down the stairs, that is really not good for storage or anything. I think some wall candy would look great there. Some Bible verses. Or our names. A family tree/vine.

Need something for a great huge wall in a beach condo. It’s 12ft high so will have to have pretty large letters. Hmmmm, have to find some nice, thoughful, or possibly poetic beachy quotes. Not the plain old “life is a beach”, that’s for sure!! Any suggestions?
52 August 15th, 2008 at 1:02 pm

I wouldn’t mind putting a wall of sayings on there. All I have on my walls are posters, Texas Longhorns items, and paint. After a while, you get tired of seeing white and orange. Perhaps a witty quote would be great to get me through the day.
