Wall Quotes On Mirrors?

We had a great question today: "Can your wall sayings go on mirrors? I'm afraid of the mirror cleaner hurting it when I clean it."

And the answer is - Absolutely. Our vinyl wall quotes apply beautifully to mirrors and glass and windows. And the cleaner won't hurt it either. In fact, I have one on my mirror in the bathroom and despite toothpaste splashes, water splotches and shower steam, it cleans beautifully and still looks great after more than a year (but sometimes if I use a paper towel the fibers stick in the edges of the design, so I try to use a microfiber cloth instead), so it'll be fine wherever you decide to put it and however you decide to clean it.

In fact, this bathroom wall quote design would be perfect on the mirror above the sink. Or this vinyl letter quote would be great on the vanity in a girls' room and this bedroom quote design would be perfect on a mirror in the master suite.

So there you have it - wall quotes on mirrors: excellent idea.


*And remember - if you have a question, any kind of question, just ask; we're happy to help.

Dress Up Your Bed

I love DIY projects - partly because I can brag and say "I did that!" but mostly because we live on a tight budget (as most young families do, particularly in recent days). When we got married, we splurged on a mattress, but haven't yet sprung for a headboard & frame so it sits in a $30 basic metal frame from Costco with not much in the way of adornment.

I keep looking for lovely, smart (and cheap) headboard ideas and found a great link this week at diyideas.com (a great resource for- you guessed it - diy ideas). The entire idea gallery is cool, but this one in particular caught my eye:

We can do that!
I thought. Of course, they mention making the stencil yourself - totally doable, but if you can find a lovely company (like ours) to do it for you and eliminate virtually all of the work and stress? I say go for it!

And, as coincidences go, I've been working headboard designs just this week. This is another wall art category that we'll be adding to the Belvedere Designs site soon. For now, here's a sneak peak at a few of our up-and-coming headboard designs:


Also, remember the beautiful Chinese floral designs from a few weeks ago? These would be lovely as an accent piece above a bed. And interestingly enough, we've recently had several custom vinyl wall letter orders for precisely this thing - designs for above the bed. One gal ordered this:


Just lovely isn't it? So watch for our new vinyl headboards & designs coming soon. You'll be seeing wrought iron, lots of scrolls and flourishes and some pretty florals as well. And of course, you can always customize your space with any of our wall quotes or our custom wall letters preview tool. Go crazy - dress up that bed, and with any luck, I'll even post a photo of our new headboard. (seriously, vinyl's the perfect accessory in every room - and don't I know it!)

Also - she asked some great questions and we've received wonderful feedback. Let me ask the same here:
1. Do you have a favorite quote you'd love to see on our site but don't yet?
2. What family sticker hobby/occupation/design would you request that you don't yet see in our collection?

And finally - if you'd like to review our products for a blog or similar venue, contact us. We're all about word of mouth or (ahem) blog.
