We've asked Jennifer a few questions and here's what she had to say:

---

DecalMyWall: Tell us just a little about yourself.

Jennifer: I am a 14 year old 8^th grader whose hobbies include softball and making clay art.  My other interests are all animals and wanting to be a vet tech or vet.  I enjoy playing with my pet rat and have had guinea pigs and hamsters in the past.

DecalMyWall: What led you to choose the Dots Tree wall decal?

Jennifer: I wanted a tree and liked the abstract look of the Dots.  When I first picked it, it coordinated with my comforter.  I later changed my comforter so that colors would match the tree because I liked the tree so much and the decal colors did not match the first comforter.

DecalMyWall: Did you see the decal first, and then think of where to put it; Or did your empty wall beckon you to find the perfect design?

Jennifer: I knew I was going to have an empty wall and wanted to tie nature into my room so I looked for a wall decal.

DecalMyWall: How has it changed the way you feel about that room?

Jennifer: It makes my room feel much more mature after 13 years of having plaid wallpaper with a dollhouse wallpaper border which was very childish. This design also creates a relaxing atmosphere for me.

DecalMyWall: What do you enjoy most about having your Dots Tree, Rings, and Wall Quote?

Jennifer: It makes my room look beautiful and all of them work together to make the room colorful.  The colors work so well together and help tie in with the bedding.

DecalMyWall: What are some things your friends or guests say when they see it?

Jennifer: "WOW", "I’m jealous", "It looks amazing", "It is beautiful", "I want your room", "Can we trade?"

DecalMyWall: What was your overall impression with the website?

Jennifer: Really liked the website, easy to navigate around and was easy to find what I was looking for.

DecalMyWall: What would you tell someone else who is interested, but may be hesitant to purchase a wall decal?

Jennifer: Purchase! They are easy to install and look great.  If you have any questions/concerns call or email DecalMyWall.com, they are very helpful and will help with designs and adjusting designs to your desire along with helping with color choices if not sure colors compliment one another.

 

DecalMyWall: How was your experience with installing your decals? Did you have any difficulties?

Did you find the How-To videos helpful?

Jennifer: Watched how–to videos first and they were very informative and made the installation very easy.  Only had one small issue and that was on the tree branch section when we were removing the backing paper the paper curled over and stuck to another section.  We had to gently pull the paper apart and luckily it caused no damage to the decal.

DecalMyWall: Anything else you would like to add?

Jennifer: I think they are pretty cool and so do all my friends when they see my room.

(Tie) Dyed Eggs... Thinking Outside The Shell

I love neckties. Just not the ugly ones...

I've run out of new ways to decorate using the same ole egg dying kit year after year. What surprised me the most about this blog post I found this week, was that the best looking egg patterns came from what I considered the 'ugly' ties. The picture pretty much sums it up. Check it out!

Such a clever idea!

Glow-in-the-Dark Easter Eggs -- A New Way To Hunt

With Easter soon upon us, I'm finding myself not as enthusiastic about the age old tradition of the 'Egg Hunt'. Mostly because I can never seem to come up with the same amount of eggs at the end of the hunt, as when I first hid them all. I certainly don't enjoy hitting those lil deserters with the mower or weed whacker a week later! (ok, the candy explosion was fun, but only the first time). That is, until I came across this blogpost...

Some ideas are just too fun! And I don't care if I loose track of some eggs, because the fun had will be well worth dealing with the strays later on.

Let me just sum it up with the picture below:

Glow-in-the-Dark Easter egg hunt! An awesome idea for a lasting Easter memory!

Introducing Our Production Manager, Richard Sargent

About the Author
 Richard Sargent is the Production Manager at Accent Studios. He is in charge processing each order from preparing the cut files, to shipping, and is part of our sales team. Richard loves to bring excitement to every aspect of his life. His energy and enthusiasm for making wall decals is a great asset to Accent Studios.

Hello Everyone!

My name is Richard Sargent, and I'm the Production Manager at Accent Studios - Vinyl Wall Decals. I started off just a year ago as a part-time team member, hired on to 'weed' the excess vinyl from the products after they had been cut out of the machines. Over time, as I began to take a real interest in the production programme, I developed tons of questions on how the whole process worked, and I soon began to learn all aspects of the company. The more hands on I became with each part of the process, I grew a deeper appreciation for the work that really goes into creating these wall decals.  

My appreciation has grown and this is now one of my passions in life. I often think people call what they do for work 'a job', but it's not a job when it's something you love to do every day. The reason why I love making wall decals, is the fact that I'm a part of bringing excitement and joy to many households each and every day, with our decals.   

Most recently, I served as customer service manager for a major corporation. We handled thousands of customers with a high level of satisfaction. That was a joy to know we could help everyone with their needs and products.

Prior to that, I served as a business development executive for a Wedding DJ Service. We averaged over 100 weddings a year in our company. It was exciting to see the company start with a couple guys with passion and turn every wedding into a very special day.A constant theme that Accent Studios has been embraced:

-We are all about providing top quality in products, very high standards in designs, and providing the best customer service.

I truly believe that Accent Studios not only meets this criteria, but has a real shot to fulfill its mission to be the clear leader vinyl wall decal designs.

In terms of my personal beliefs: 
-I believe having a passion in every aspect of your life is needed, to enjoy every moment that life has to offer you. 
-For every trial, there is a lesson to be learned. Only when you stop to recognize what is really going on, is when you truly learn what life is all about. 
-I have had a lot of great inspirations in my life that have helped me to understand and develop my talents. 
-I strongly believe that everyone has the ability to do amazing things in life. We are all given the same amount of time everyday to live, and to inspire others. It is up to you to make the very most of it.

I'm really looking forward to a long journey with Accent Studios. I'm proud to be part of this team! Each day begins as a new adventure and ends with a feeling of accomplishment.
