Today we celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day. Founded in 1970 by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in, it is now celebrated annually through-out the world as a way to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s environment.

If being green in your home and office is important to you, you’ll be happy to know that our Wall Slicks wall decals are Green certified! What does this mean? The raw vinyl we use has the most green process of any vinyl manufacturer and the company that makes the vinyl has met the predetermined standards to reduce environmental impact.

Also, the water-based adhesive used to apply the decals contains no-odor or volatile chemical content. This is very important when decorating the baby nursery or your children’s rooms and your own bedroom, for that matter. It’s a good feeling to know that your decorating product is not omitting any toxic chemicals into your home or office that could jeopardize your health.

If you live a green life, and you want to create a healthy environment in your home or office that spread out to your decorating choices, you’ll appreciate this green DIY decorating fact from Modern Wall Graphics.

And, if you like “earthy” images, take a look at this beautiful Oak Tree wall sticker and our other tree wall decals for decorating inspiration!

Happy Earth Day to you!

Welcome to the Wall Slicks blog, brought to you by Modern Wall Graphics, the Original Wall Decal store. In case you haven’t heard, 5 Minutes for Mom is hosting the Ultimate Blog Party this week. Bloggers are encouraged to post a party on their site, and part of my party is a giveaway for you!

When I have a party, I LOVE beautiful decorating! Did you know vinyl wall decals are great for DIY decorating? And, what’s even better is that you can use them like party decorations and take them down when you change your mind or when the party is over! You just save the reusable backing sheet that is included and transfer them back to the sheet from your wall. Plus, there is no “sticker” residue left behind either. Who has time to clean up after a party?!?

I hope you take a few minutes to look around at our wall stickers and see if there is anything you like. Not only is 5 Minutes for Mom offering a $200 Wall Slicks giveaway, we are also going to give away to 1 lucky entrant ANY Wall Slicks wall decal of their choosing. No limit on size or price, just pick your favorite wall sticker in any of our over 40 colors and it’s yours, if you are chosen at random.
