    I saw some really good ones in the nappy hunt in March - I'm sure I'll find them again in September! They had a beautiful one I wanted to put over DD's cot, it had stars and the verse "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, do you know how loved you are". Only problem it was a little exxy.

    a little OT but how well do we think they would stick to / look on brick?
    both the kids' bedrooms are all brick... i imagine they would still go on ok just not look as 'fluid' or smooth as on a normal wall?
    has anyone tried that?

    sorry if I'm doubling up, haven't read all the replies but I've seen lots of the wall stickers in the $2 shops.

    most wont stick to a brick wall, we tried to put some up when DS was born, its usually to rough to stick to it.

    How about some bunting/garland/fairy lights strung around with 3M removable hooks?
    Pictures/wal hangings with the same
    rugs make a difference

    Thought I would just post a warning about the wall stickers - we have had various ones of various prices and they have ALL removed paint from the walls - same happened with my SIL. So I would not recommend them at all, especially if you are in a rental. Sorry to be a downer.

    Rugs, wall hangings, mobile and other decorations can make the world of difference tho - even a new light shade/covering.
