That middle one is only about £7, top one less than a tenner.

Cheaper than another site I've been looking at. There's window stickers as well with patterns. Makes a change from the frosted glass sticker!

What I'd like is some stencils to spray paint some fake plants on my outside walls

Those wall stickers are fab. A friend (from OZ) brings them back from her stopovers in Asia...I have some on order.

What are you getting?

I always thought someone should invent them for people that don't like wallpaper. Never knew they actually existed, barring the whole mural type of wall covering which reminds me of Stan and Hilda Ogden, or was it Jack and Vera?

We'll be having flying geese on our walls next

 

[quimcunx]

there are flying duck wall stickers! I saw them the other night.

oh no, we're going all retro!

 

[quimcunx]

Everything has been retro since 1990.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

There's loads on this site.

Does that include you?

I've looked at a million wall stickers the last few days. I don't need to be tempted by any more.

I'm going to resist for now. Can't really have them 'til I decorate my front room and don't have time to do that at the moment. Remind me in... oh... a year or two!

However, I'm quite open to some naff transfers or something that can go on a garden wall!

They can make it to a bigger size on request. No idea how much it is.

I saw this neat little wall mounted TV shelf/cabinet while I was staying in a hotel last week. It was probably only 3.5" thick and housed a medium size flatscreen tv perfectly while hiding away the cables and offering a little shelf above.

My google skills have failed me though. Does anyone know anywhere that does something similar to this?

 

[quimcunx]

If it's that specifically that you want why not email the hotel and ask? They may have been specially made for them.

Well it was an Ibis hotel and they were in every room so I'm guessing it was specially made, but I'm sure similar units are available commercially, I just can't see any.

BTW the hotel was in Brazil so probably useless in terms of finding a supplier who could get me the same one in the UK.

You might find it's not that expensive to get a carpenter to knock one up for you.

 

[skyscraper101]

Sure, it's just one of those things that looks mass produced and like it should only be about £30 max from ikea or argos but I can't see anything like it anywhere.

This one you can get from America for around US$1,500

Be cheaper to get someone to make you one

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

This looks a bit pricey as well

Where would your socket be in relation to the telly anyway? If it's way off to the side then it won't cover it anyway or you will have to move the socket. Most people want easy access to the plugs. That hotel obviously doesn't want you to have easy access to the plug so that design is fine. What are you meant to do with the bottom half with its little rail thing?

 

[skyscraper101]

@ Minnie hmm.. I don't think I like any of them actually.

Perfectly reasonable. they are all horrible.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure, I was thinking it would have to be close to a power point. Both the power cable and the aerial would run down the back (out of sight) and off to the side, preferably concealed. I agree it is probably designed purposefully for hotels in this respect.

 

[quimcunx]

This is the best I've found.

I don't like any of them either, I was just showing that they are around

 

[quimcunx]

you do, you love them. LOVE THEM.

Not at all, far too dark

 

[quimcunx]

Might still shunt about a bit. But quite pleased.

Got two lovely high thread count bed cover sets today and a sheet and a lamp for ShiftyJunior's room in the sales. Woohoo.
