We have always been dreaming of scribbling the walls - at
least, when we were young! From graffiti to wall mural, here are some ideas, in case
you would be tempted to start painting your walls (again?)

Wall mural
Instead of hanging a canvas, why don't you paint directly on
the wall. In this particular case, the paint also covers a part of the door, so

Short-live art
Momoko Suzuki's (erasable) pencil drawings don't look like anything

world, full of fantasies.
Here is an idea I found in a store in Hong Kong : polaroid
Christmas bauble! With polaroid Christmas tree, you can be sure to drive the
buzz! Such a Christmas tree allows you to reinsure your vintage style while
asserting your attraction for traditional Christmas. Indeed, polaroid pictures
can represent Santa Claus, candles, reindeers or imps.
