Timber Artbox Hot-Air Balloons and Planes Decals! Review
Earlier this month I did a review for Under The Sea Wall Decals from Timber Artbox; the cutest little vinyl wall decals. I am thrilled to share my review of their Airplanes and Hot Air Balloons Wall Decals. These decals were as easy to install as the first set. Under 20 minutes and my wall was completely decorated.
