My Wonderful Walls Gets a Makeover! {$100 Giveaway} (Closed)
My Wonderful Walls is a family-run company based in Tennessee which offers kids room stencils, nursery stencils, stickers and canvas art in a wide variety of themes all designed to turn a room from drab to fab! I had the opportunity to review their Under the Sea sticker kit back in January and was super-impressed by the quality, durability and vividness of the stickers, plus our 26-month-old daughter had a blast helping us put it all together!
I'm happy to be partnering with My Wonderful Walls again now to spread the word on some exciting updates!
First of all, the company has a brand spankin' new website. The revamped logo and overall design is clean & fresh, and the site is straightforward to navigate via multiple drop-down menus and a site search.
The new design is mobile-friendly, allowing easy browsing and ordering from a smart phone or tablet.
The About Us page has also received a charming and whimsical revamp, including tidbits on the company's roots, operation details (such as the fact that all stencils are made locally in Chattanooga, Tennessee) and core team members. I love the way Michael (the founder) describes his original inspiration and how My Wonderful Walls came to life:
"If your kids are like ours, they dream of flying around the stars, hunting for dinosaurs, and sipping tea with princesses. Our kids have imaginations that go to outer space and back down to the deepest depths of the ocean. And listening to the massive tales of what goes on inside their little heads is one of a parent’s greatest joys.
Of course, I am not the only parent who loves when their children dream big. Yet, I have an advantage—I am an artist. When our kids started dreaming beyond their four walls, I grabbed my paints. After hand-painting a mural in our oldest son’s room, I had a “light bulb” moment. How great would it be to make giant stencil kits that would easily allow all parents to paint their own wall mural?! Well, turns out that the wifey loved the idea too, and the company was born!"
Michael and his wife Stephanie have also started a project called Owl Hill dedicated to teaching art and music for children. This free online resource will include drawing lessons, interviews & performances with musicians, craft projects for little ones and more. I'll definitely be checking back on this!
In addition to the website overhaul, My Wonderful Walls has recently unveiled some gorgeous new products. They've expanded to include more adult-friendly sticker sets such as the classy Serenity Blossom Dahlia and the gorgeously vivid Wild Horse and Wise Owl..
They've also begun offering growth charts within the children's theme sets - for example the Jungle Growth Chart which matches the Jungle Safari Wall Sticker Kit.
Before closing out, I'd like to mention a couple other things that are awesome about My Wonderful Walls.
First, their amazing customer service team. I've found Tara, their "social networking nut" (as described by Michael) to be a sheer pleasure to work with; she's friendly, responsive, detailed and flexible. The founders Michael and Stephanie also clearly make an effort to stay connected; I received a thoughtful, personal note from them upon posting my previous review. It's obvious that the whole team is proud of, and passionate about, their company and products.
Second, the super-generous giveaways they sponsor. In addition to those hosted by 3rd party sites (such as M2M, of course!), My Wonderful Walls hosts their own giveaways every few months with prize packages generally in the $200-$400 range. Their last big event was the Paisley Peace Giveaway which combined a sticker set with 9 handcrafted prizes provided by Etsy artists. How groovy is that? Tara mentioned that the next big giveaway is planned for sometime in May, so make sure to check back on this! All giveaways, as well as feature room makeovers and new product announcements can be found on the company blog.
What can I say? I love this company and their products are wonderful indeed. We can't wait to adorn our youngest's walls with another sweet sticker set (or perhaps we'll go the stencil route this time?) once he's old & opinionated enough to follow in his sister's footsteps and choose his own decor!
