As we live in a rented property I have to be creative when it comes to making the place our own. When Bob was younger I painted a scene on her bedroom wall but now that isn’t possible. She now has a beautiful princess room but instead of painting I used a Disney Princess scene setter and some wall stickers.
Bow has a jungle themed nursery with some fab accessories but his wall stickers aren’t that great. Wall stickers can be quite expensive and, as a new baby needs a lot of things I tried to decorate his nursery on a budget. I found a set of jungle stickers via an app which I thought were a bargain.
I stuck the sticker’s on Bow’s walls and then went downstairs to make dinner. When I went back into the nursery the tree trunk had come unstuck from the wall and rolled down. It was stuck to itself in various places and, although I managed to straighten it again, it made several pulls on the tree trunk.
Since I decorated Bow’s room 5 months ago the stickers keep coming unstuck. Every time I go in there I stick them back down but it doesn’t make much difference. I laughed about the fact that it must be Autumn as the leaves were falling from the trees but when the owls started to fly away too I stopped seeing the funny side.
I have realised that you get what you pay for. I now need to buy another set of wall stickers and it would have been cheaper and a lot less work to buy a good set to begin with. I have found a nice set of jungle wall stickers on the tenstickers website.
It has monkeys on so it will match the cute curtain tie backs

Oh no what a nightmare with your original stickers! I hope the monkeys stay put!
Thank you! 🙂 x
Cute stickers! I bought two different ones from eBay when I was decorating my son’s room. One side is still on the wall in great condition while the other is pretty much gone. I got the both really cheap but from different suppliers. I love the ones on your photos though so might remove the rest of the stickers from one wall and get a new set. Thanks for sharing
That shows that sometimes bargains are good. Shame it’s such a gamble. x
I love the curtain tie backs, they are super cute! They really do go well with the stickers 🙂
Me too! And they were an absolute bargain! x
Those stickers are adorable! I totally agree; you get what you pay for but if you work with what you have it’s very easy to make it into something more x
That sucks that the “bargain” wall stickers keep coming unstuck. However, I totally understand you can’t always afford expensive decorations.
I love these vinyls I think they are such a great way to brighten up a room.
This looks so cute, what a shame that they’re not sticking properly. Such a good idea.
Aw we all get sucked into buying cheap goodies and it is true that quite often you get what you pay for. Mind you I have a pair of boots from Primark that have lasted me six months and my feet normally ruin shoes in a month lol.
They sound like a good bargain! x
Aw no, its a shame your original stickers didnt work out. Sometimes you do get what you pay for in life but its just a shame that we often have to find that out the hard way! xxx
I did exactly the same and warn everyone off said app as its cheap rubbish that its either fake or useless you def get what you pay for
I almost bought the newborn photography props off there too but luckily I waited to see the quality of the wall stickers first. x
oh this is such a gorgeous bedroom and you have done amazing. Thanks so much for sharing. It’s very inspirational and giving me ideas for planning my daughter’s room.
Good luck with your decorating! x
Oh no, sounds like a nightmare! The new ones look lovely though.
Wall stickers are such a great way to jazz up a kids bedroom. I used some last year for my children, and they’re holding strong!
I am really hoping the monkeys stay put, my brother bought Disney princess ones for my niece and the same thing happened x
I have been lucky with my daughter’s Disney princess ones but I paid a lot more for them than the cheap jungle ones. x
Loving the look of that room and I agree with your blog post title.
This looks lovely, what an easy and inexpensive way to decorate a child’s room!
What’s that saying…buy cheap pay twice? But the stickers now look awesome, I hope they stay put!
What a nightmare with the original stickers, the new ones look fab! We used a few different ones at our old home and they stayed up brilliantly, I was looking at some cheaper ones again now we’ve moved but I think I’ll opt against them
