What exactly is Home Design Time Travel?

We have all experienced this before. It is when you walk into friend or family members home and you feel as though you went back in time. Sometimes you are not sure what exactly makes you feel this way but you feel it. It is similar to visiting a grandparent who has been in the same house for many years.

The opposite effect is when you visit someone who is constantly changing up there place with fresh new looks and it makes you feel as though your place is out of date.

Whether you are a little (or a lot) out of date, or you like to keep things exciting and new we have the solution. Wall stickers and wall murals. There is not a more cost effective way to redesign, rejuvenate, and keep your home hip and fresh then using wall stickers. They can take your front room from basic wall colors to a chic designer look in as little as 5 minutes.

Here is an example:

It starts, NOW!

It is here…Earth Week. The one week out of the year that our well educated young children justifiably criticize us “older” generations. I know mine are always educating me on what we can do. I love it.

Our purpose at Wallnutz is to make fun and intriguing spaces for children inside your home and now outside. Here are some of the changes that we as a company have made in the last year to help keep outside beautiful:

1. We re-use boxes.

All of the wall decor products that we sell, whether pre-manufactured or materials that we manufacture, come to us in a box…..inside a bigger box. About a year ago we finally gave up on our idea that our orders had to be shipped in brand spanking new boxes and started to use these inside boxes to ship orders. A few of you may have noticed, but the inside boxes are in such pristine condition that quite honestly it would be hard to tell. It has drastically reduced the amount of recycling we have each week (an amount that would make any lovely tree hugger cringe) and frankly makes us feel better. We re-use all of the boxes but it still only accounts for a small percentage of our shipments.

BONUS: We only charge our customers actual shipping cost and re-using boxes helps reduce shipping cost which we pass onto our customers! Shipping has gotten so expensive in the last year we try to do everything we can to keep it down for you.

*We also re-use packing paper. Some of our vendors are wallpaper manufactures so a very few of you might have enjoyed the free wallpaper used as packing material that came with your modern wall decor.

2. Electronic Paperwork.

We no longer print  receipts, purchase orders, invoices, articles and bills but instead store them as needly organized computer files. We have asked all of our vendors to help us out with. This one was a little tough for me. As techno savvy as I have become I still carry a date book and am comforted by a messing paper filled desk. Although, I do admit not having the paper cutter saves time, storage, cost and will give our printer a nice long life while saving a couple of beautiful trees.

3. Encourage our Customers to Re-use and then Re-cycle.

Once you peel the wall decal off the backing material, everything else we have sent you can be re-used and then re-cycled. Use the box and packing material for your next shipment. Let the kids have fun making big artwork on the backing material or a long welcome/congratulations poster with the packing paper or huge paper sheets from the mural painting kits. The cardboard tubes and thick plastics bags from the mural kits make great storage devices.

4. Offer an Organic Option for Kids Room Decor

If you are looking for an organic decor option for your nursery or child’s room, we can help. You can choose organic paint to use with any of our mural painting kits. There are lots of new options out there for organic odor-free paints!

These environmental practices were new to us this year. Do you have any suggestions for us for this year? We would love to hear them!
