DIY Photobooths!!

Have you ever taken a look at how much a photo booth could cost you for a wedding or another event?? Even when it's included in the wedding package from your photographer, it is not cheap. It could cost you $400 and up! Why not try it the old fashioned do-it-yourself way? A photo booth could be made for less than $50! You'll need supplies, so make a list before going out on your next big grocery run!
Supplies: 

• Camera - Borrow from a family member or friend if need be!
• Tripod - You don't want your pictures to be blurry! Ask your photographer if they have an extra one.
• Backdrop - fabric, paper, board, it doesn't matter what it is as long as it's creative and unique!
• Tape
• Hammer and nails
• Remote shutter release
• Props- for whatever theme you are going for!
• Poster board
• Markers
• Fishing Line
• PVC Pipe
• Personalized Decal Stickers

Make your own backdrop with a fabulous print fabric. Get in touch with your creative side! Use balloons as a backdrop to have something out of the ordinary!

You can always make a large picture frame or polaroid, or add glittery chevrons or stripes to a giant poster board! You can hang any of these from a large branch (if outdoors) or make a stand from PVC pipe and hang it from that!

Okay, you get the drift. If you want to go more complicated than this, try designing a digital booth (like the ones you would see in the mall or amusement park!).

Don't forget to tell everyone to take pictures, and just have fun with it!

Musings of my New Office Decor Plans

new desk idea via Pinterest

After spending time (too much time, as always) on Pinterest looking up office decor, I think I have come to a desk idea conclusion for my new office.  Check out the pin HERE. 

 My new office won't be large and will have 2 windows and a doorway. Mainly, for furniture, it will just be my desk area.  I do require quite a bit of desk area ....due to my messy, papers strewn all over, organization problem.  =)

Next comes our color scheming... For now I am thinking only of my office.  When I asked for suggestions on our Facebook page, Gray and Yellow was a great suggestion.

Gray and Yellow are commonly associated with Chevron Stripes, which I love also!  The color scheme in the photo has a lot of white, which looks neat and fresh but I am pretty sure it won't look so neat and fresh in my real life.

I'm a work-at-home mom just moving my business from my basement to our new shop in the backyard; so I will still have my children stopping frequently for visits = a few messes, I am sure.

I think the walls can be a soft gray color.  Then we will replace the white part of the desk in the photo with a darker shade of gray. That would leave the top of the desk a nice bright cheery yellow or maybe a muted pastel yellow.

This office desk idea caught my eye because I think its quite do-able - affordable yet usable.  I have an old desk that I want to repaint - it's metal so I will be learning a new painting technique for that.

Then I will find someone to help me mount bookshelves on top of the desk, attached to the wall.  The bookshelves can have crown molding applied to the top for decoration. The rest of the L shape part should be simple to put together with some wood, good sanding and then a layer of polyurethane.

We can easily make the Chevron Stripes as office wall stickers - I haven't decided whether to apply them on an entire wall or just inside of the bookshelves.  Maybe chevron stripes on the inside of the shelves and then Metallic Silver Vintage Floral Medallions wall stickers on the wall?

What do you think?  We would LOVE to hear your thoughts and suggestions - comment below.

Refresh Your Laundry Room! A few helpful tips....

WD243

Have you been thinking about putting some new decorations in your laundry room, or have you been wanting to redo the room entirely? Hopefully, I can help you out with a few helpful hints.

Do it yourself! This will be budget friendly and give you the option of choosing all the colors, fabrics and even machines for yourself. You will also be able to go at your own speed and really get to decide how you want everything to look.

Reorganize, reorganize, reorganize! Put detergents, dryer sheets, and more in baskets, move it to a shelf, or just add some shelves. Any of these things will help your room to feel less crowded. Have a counter top installed for a larger folding area and work space!

Wall stickers from Wall Decor Plus More would be a really cute and totally different way to add spice to your new laundry room! There are so many to choose from, it will be hard to make a decision!

Add some new cabinets! It will instantly change the look and feel of your room, and help you to realize that you actually DO have a stylish room. No cabinets to cover that mess under the sink? Use a fun patterned fabric to make it disappear.

Revamp your laundry room with color! Painting makes a room come alive, and feel fresh at the same time. Stripes or chevrons on the walls will bring fun to the room!

Bring in the new machines! Even if that new washer or dryer takes out the whole budget, it will be worth it because your laundry room will feel like a completely different room!

If your laundry is compact or small, use curtains instead of doors to block off your room. Curtain rings will help it slide easily and looks beautiful in small spaces!

Budgets are not always fun. But backsplashes are! Use your money wisely and find a funky pattern in the clearance section at your local home improvement store!

Don't forget to check out Wall Decor Plus More to find the perfect sticker for your laundry room! We have so many options and one of them could be the perfect fit for you!

Decorating on a Budget! Using Wall Stickers, Slipcovers and more

Have you ever just wanted to rip everything out of a room and start fresh? I know I have. Unfortunately, not all of us have the means to do just that. So, let me help you out.
 Instead of throwing everything away, let's start with the basics. Budgeting is a wonderful way to get that new room you've always wanted, and just couldn't quite attain. Make sure to read these tips before starting too many projects at once!


A fresh paint color can be so refreshing and might even change your mind about redoing the whole room! Put a piece of art up on the wall, or find a wall sticker that really speaks to you! Wall decals are so simple to put up, no nails or hammers necessary. Just measure the space you want it in, pick a color you like and purchase! Wall Decor Plus More offers a wonderful variety of stickers, from kitchen quotes to children's rooms decorations.

Another idea for sprucing up a room, if you can't afford to get a new sofa or love seat, would be to find a slipcover for it. Surefit.com has some lovely covers for a reasonable price. Bed Bath & Beyond also has slipcovers, as does Walmart. This is a much more affordable process than buying a whole new sofa set! If that doesn't work, you could get that new pillow that has been calling your name! Or you could try making one just like the one you love. Get creative and go for it!

Don't forget to check out Pinterest for decorating on a budget! Check out Wall Decor Plus More on Pinterest as well! It is filled with all kinds of ideas, from  DIY coffee tables to redoing curtains. Pinterest also has lovely ideas for hanging pictures, making your own kitchen shelves, or even a headboard!

I hope you can find something that works for you! I am going to try some redecorating myself, and I'll let you know how it goes next week!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Meet the Wall Decor Plus More Family! Part 3

Elsa is our last stay at home mom and she began working with WDPM last summer. She also cuts a certain amount of products and sends them back. But Elsa does it by the month. So she gets one or two enormous bags full of vinyl to cut, and at the end of the month brings them back to us.

Katie started here last summer as well. She is graduated from high school and just moved here from Iowa as well. She is our main cutter. She makes sure all the cutters are functioning properly and she always has something cutting on them.

Shawna started last summer too. She is mainly for extra help. For example, if we received a huge order from a vendor, then we would probably ask Shawna to come in a few afternoons that week to help us out and to get caught up.

Last, but definitely not least, is me (Cassie). I started working here at the end of the year. I just moved here from Michigan. We moved here in November, and now I work for Kristi. She is training me to be her manager. I will have to know everything about WDPM, and I have to say I'm getting there. I have plenty of work cut out for me but it will be worth it!

I'm glad you have been able to meet our WDPM family. We work hard to get you, our customers, your products as fast and efficiently as we can. We hope you continue to stay with us as we expand and grow!

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for the next post!

Meet the Wall Decor Plus More Family! Part 2

Here is part 2 of our "meeting the WDPM family" like I promised!!

 Alyssa is one of our 4 stay at home moms. She just had a baby, and that is her 3rd child. She's currently on maternity leave. She decided she needed a little extra income, just like Kristi did, and asked if she could work for Kristi from her own house. She started in the summer of 2011 also. Alyssa gets a bag of vinyl to weed and transfer tape every week.

Kayla, who started in 2010 and is another mom with 4 kids, helps us out so much by cutting most of our circles for us. This is a large task and takes quite of a bit of time; so everything she does is very appreciated!

Lisa is yet another stay at home mom. She began working here in the winter of 2011. She has a baby due soon, and it will be her 4th child. She does a lot of the same things Alyssa does. She weeds and transfer tapes at home and sends them back to us, and this cycle is repeated every week.

Marrissa was the next one hired after Lisa.  She had just moved here to South Dakota from Iowa, because she had just married Kristi's younger brother in December of 2012. She had a baby a few months ago, and is back from maternity leave. Marrissa helps out with a little bit of everything, but mainly she does a lot of the computer work.

Check out part 3 soon! 
Have a fantastic day everyone!!
