I'm going to guess Hobby Lobby! But we'll see if I'm right.
Correct!! Both my mom and I have been shopping there and if it's not from there it's TJ Maxx or Homegoods!
I LOVE. Hobby Lobby! That's where I got the Jeremiah bible verse framed wall art for our nursery. I got it after someone on here did a PSA about a super sale they were having. Maybe you were the one?
With DD, I drove all the decisions with minimal input from DH. This room is all DH with minimal input from me. (He REALLY wanted to paint a wall burnt orange. That's the only place I drew a line.)
I wish we were more creative/crafty, but at the same time.. I don't really care lol.
Here are some pics of our nursery as of last night. MH and I put up the wall decals and we were in love with the result! However I need to be an AW and whine a bit (see below the pics).
This morning when I checked the room, the decals were half peeling off! I'm devastated - I loved the walls in baby's room last night and now I'm stressing out seeing that they won't even stay. Seriously in tears over this (thank you pregnancy hormones). Anyone have any advice or thoughts on this?

wanderlust, do your walls have texture? If so, it may not be meant to be.
If they're (relatively) smooth, you need to wait a certain amount of days for painting and typically rub your wall down with a solution of denatured alcohol and something else I can't remember. Neither of which are particularly helpful tips for ones you've already tried to put up.
They look so cute, I hope you're able to salvage them!

Thanks k3am ....yes our walls are textured. Sucks that we didn't think to consider that as a factor before we bought the decals MH is saying maybe he can put tiny nails in the corners to get them to stay up. Defeats the purpose of having decals instead of wall hangings (& not even sure it'll work). But that's the only idea we've had so far that seems like it might work. So sad!

Update: I emailed the Etsy vendor and she was really nice. She apologized for the issue and asked me to send her a pic of my walls. She said she could resend the decals on a different type of vinyl that could have a better chance of adhering to the walls depending on how much texture they have.
It makes me feel a lot better that she's willing to work with us to send a product that could work better! FX that we figure something out.

wanderlust, It sounds like you have a solution, but I LOVE using "zots" which can be found at a graft store... they're like little circles of extreme sticky stuff like the stuff they use to stick a new credit card to the paper when it comes in the mail. I'm glad the vendor is being so accommodating. Hooray for good customer service! I love the decals!
wanderlust, I 2nd zots! like superglue dots almost. I didn' tknow that's what they are called but from the sounds of it, it's what we used to fix our wall decals in DS's original nursery.
Bumpity bump - we're *finally* 100% completely DONE with our bean's Montessori nursery The whole shebang is DIY - the final projects were the rocking chair upholstery, curtains, and the painter's ladder style shelf and I am shamelessly proud of it!

I already posted a couple pics of our nursery last week but to update, we were able to use wallpaper glue and some tiny nails (for the larger decal) to hold up the decals so that was a relief! I walk in that room every day and it makes me so happy....I love it. BUT I'm also itching to do more to it haha. I was thinking of using the IKEA spice racks as book shelves idea to have a place to put her board books. Also wanted to mount a couple wall shelves on the wall above the rocker/recliner! On some nursery blogs I have seen these monogram letter blocks that sit upright on the shelf ...I was looking for a simple L letter to put on the shelf and haven't found any luck! Should be a simple thing to find but no luck so far. Can anyone point me in the right direction if they've found something like this?
ETA: I was actually thinking of something more like a single letter carved out that stands upright but now I'm loving this for the shelf instead (with her entire name spelled out)!
