Trading Phrases Review & Giveaway *CLOSED*



Vinyl really has made a huge transformation in my entire house. We have a vinyl in the living room, Avery's room, playroom, our bathroom and our Laundry room. It has made a huge transformation and I can't wait to share this one with you!
We received a great vinyl from Trading Phrases. It came with 2 samples as well so you could ensure that you're doing it correctly without ruining the big main one you paid for! We received the Laundry Room Loads Of Fun vinyl as well as 2 samples.
The first sample was some butterflies. These went in Avery's room
Before
During, You just stick it where you want, rub it with the enclosed scraper tool and then peel it off. 
After. This picture and vinyl are hanging in between Avery's 2 closet doors. It's the main focal point of her room as it's the first thing you see when you walk in. I think the butterflies made a great addition to her picture.
The other sample was Life Is Good and it's now in our bathroom. 
I SWEAR I cleaned the mirror right before applying this. 
Before
After, It's silver
Again easy to apply. It was a little troublesome trying to get it off the thick paper backing. It was really sticking to it and not the transfer paper, but I finally got it.
Then the Laundry Room. 
I had to get it painted before applying this and we didn't even know which color we were going with paint wise, so I just chose the vinyl in black. Although we were either going with a yellow or a light blue, I think a dark blue vinyl would've looked good as well.
Before. This is the EASIEST Vinyl I've ever applied. It peeled right off the paper backing and went right on the wall. No complaints with this one.
After
After again, a little different angle
I was going to put this on the wall behind the washer and dryer (first wall seen) but we have our sprinkler unit there and the vinyl wouldn't be centered and that's a HUGE pet peeve of mine. Kind Of OCD so it had to go on this wall. It's on the right when you walk in, over the washer.
I love all my new vinyls. I'm so happy with all of them and they have brought so much to the house. Plus they are a CHEAP decoration. And if you decide you don't like them anymore, just peel them off and throw them away. They aren't reusable so you have no reason to keep them.

They are much cheaper than more wall art, so they are the way to go, plus they are much more personable and really define the person you are. You can't always find that with wall art and most vinyl companies will do a completely custom design for you. Trading Phrases does. You can get a quote from them as well. 

Price: My Laundry Room vinyl was $29. It was the size I chose there are 5 sizes on this particular vinyl. So you can almost guarantee it will fit in your space. I think this is very generous.

Overall: ***** they were super easy to apply and I'm very happy with the transformation.
