{swank} review & giveaway: CurlyQ Wall Decals and Clocks

It's hard to believe that my little boy has outgrown his nursery and is now into "big boy" things such as superheroes, Ninjago and...monsters.  This new revelation has suddenly called for a decor overhaul of his room - mostly on the walls.

Currently on his walls were some cute wall decals that we originally bought from Ikea a few years ago to match a series of wall art we received from his aunt.  Knowing that Lil J has grown out of those wall decals so fast has made me a little bit sad.  But on to newer and more exciting things...

Lil J has a monster theme in his room and CurlyQ has a collection of monster decals that come in at least 14 different colour combinations - a match made in heaven!  Because CurlyQ's wall decals come in a variety of colours, any and all of their decals will match with any room decor.  The decals came with specific application instructions which made it super easy for me to apply them to the wall while wrangling with a three year-old bouncing up and down on the bed in front of me.  Boys!

Here's our blue monster in all it's glory:

The wall decals are good for a one-time use only and are completely removable whenever you want them to be.  At first I was worried that I would end up with creases and a lopsided monster but it turned out perfect, if not slightly lopsided due to my lack of vision skills {I kid, I kid!}.  I loved how easy the application was and the thickness of the decal made it easy to work with.  Lil J was really excited to get his "friendly" monsters up on his wall so they could scare off any "bad" monsters.

Did you know?  CurlyQ is more than just wall decals - they also have wall clocks!  Yes!  I quickly scoured their site to see if they had one to go with Lil J's monster theme and they had not one, but two:

I ended up choosing the Monster Clock Eye-Squid which can be used with or without wall decal add-ons.  We chose without to keep it simple.

The wall clocks seem to be made out of a thick cardboard-like material and are somewhat flimsy, so it's probably best to keep them up high and away from little hands.  Even so, we loved our wall clock - super cute and original!  And I can't wait to teach Lil J how to tell time from his squid monster!

I also received my own custom {swank}mama decal by using CurlyQ's custom wall decal builder.  I haven't put it up yet because I have some reorganizing to do, but it looks exactly like the header on my blog.  I'm envisioning it over top of our computer desk in my future office.
