I was in the ob-gyn office waiting to be seen and I saw in some parenting/baby magazine that there is peel on/off wall decorations/mural that you decorate the baby nursery with. I did not get the name of the magazine or the name of the company. Anyone have any ideas?

Both walmart and sears carry them. They are a sticker that you can pull off and use again. Very easy and washable too. Great colors and it blends in with the color of the room. There are several themes that you can go with. I've seen the wall border and different stickers that you can put all over the room. I love them. I had an animal theme for my first daughter who' s now almost 4 and when i had my second daughter they all peeled right off and went into her room. Now she has Dora the explorer. I've seen vehicles for boys, and sports themes, pooh, mickey, tinker bell, flowers, nemo, princesses and that's all I can think of at the moment.
Best of luck with your shopping and with your new little one!

I would not suggest re-gluing those sections. While it may hold, if you paint over it and then it begins to peel again (environmental conditions like humidity levels can affect it's bond), not only will it look bad, but you'll have the additional pain in the butt of having to repaint the entire wall to avoid lapp marks/ achieve a uniform look. If you want an easy, fast and durable repair, here's what I would suggest. Trim off the peeling section with a sharp blade back to the area where it is firmly attached. Then, skim coat the area with sheetrock mud (or joint compound). Make it just thick enough to fill in the missing spot and blend it over the edges by several inches. Allow it to dry thoroughly, then LIGHTLY sand the area to level it. Make sure you remove the dust before you prime the wall for good adhesion, then paint away! Good luck!

I used wall decals that I bought at Wal-Mart. I just painted the walls a solid blue, and then these decals are stickers that go up wherever you want. The cool thing is that you can take them off to reposition them, or to redecorate. They have border that is the same way! I have my 2 1/2 yr. old and my baby in the same room, so I used Pooh decals by the crib and Thomas the Tank Engine decals by my older son's bed :)

No I don't know the name brand either.... but,... I saw a cute idea on one of the talk shows. Cut out stars or what you like from fabric and then mix water and starch together and paste the decoration on the wall. When you get sick of it you just wet it pull it and sponge the wall clean.
Congratulations on the new baby. God bless.

Well, I do not know which magazine you are referring to but I recently brought peel on/off wallpaper! I purchased it from Target. You can also find it at Home depot, Bombay, Walmart, Kmart,Pottery barn Kids etc....

I avoid wallpaper; it is a nuisance to install and even more of a nuisance to uninstall. But if you want to try some, go to any large home products store and inquire. There a number of varieties of pre-pasted and pre-adhesive papers available.

There are things called wallies, which are basically big stickers, that I think peel on and off.

my parents had wallpaper on one of their rooms. it sucks. don't get it. it isn't as easy to peel as you think.
its not like peeling a stamp off the adhesive. trust me.
