Dali Decals

Sunday, June 14, 2009

Dali Decals is owned and operated by David and Alicia, and is located in Asheville, North Carolina. They started out doing their own vinyl graphics for sports bikes. Since then, they have expanded their business to doing custom signage, motorcycle trailers, business logos for vehicles and buildings, and even wall art.

It's the wall art I'm excited about. The one shown in this picture would go well in our baby's nursery. There is an ocean/pirate theme and his bedding has ships on it. There is an accent wall which is an ocean blue color and really a lot of nautical things including the light switch plate. So "We can't change the wind, but we can adjust the sails," would be quite fitting.

I also like the personalized wall letterings. You can have your child's name done or just a monogram and the colors and styles are chosen by you, too.

They have all sized art for the wall including trees which nearly go up to the top of the ceiling so it's as if you have a cherry blossom in your home. There are a few silhouettes to choose from and then of course some animals including whales and birds and such.

So check out their Etsy shop and pick some wall art for your home. Then squeegee away!

    Eventually, the Kaws cover got green-lighted.
