Always & Forever…

I love the new Celebrations Mini. There are so many things to choose from, I just don’t know where to start! Do you love lettering, fonts, and anything to do with type? Well then, our new Wedding Monograms might be quite possibly a favorite products in this mini catalog.




Monograms are stylish and very trendy—perfect for the couple starting out their new life together. Our Grande Format frame monograms are sized perfectly for large venues and for adding that “special touch.” Plus, they look great on the wall or on the dance floor. What bride wouldn’t be happy to show off her new last name initial? Choose from our two pre-designed options (Grande Leaf Frame and Grand Round Frame), and the bride will be the envy of her bridesmaids and guests!



And if that weren’t enough, our mini catalog also includes complementing monogram embellishments—pre-sized and available in “bulk.” Twelve embellishments, complete with the initial, on one sheet! Just cut out and apply them to the items that you want to coordinate at the venue. The sizing makes them perfect for table centerpieces, the gift table floral centerpiece, the guest book, the backs of chairs… even LED candle pillars*. If you are looking to go smaller than the pre-set size of the monogram embellishment set, don’t forget that the frame is also available individually in a variety of sizes in MyDesign Suite.

If you're not looking to get married in the near future, or if you just like the look of the monograms, these also work well in the home environment. Let the smaller of the two Grande Format monogram sizes be a focal point. Even the embellishment set can add a bit of flair to vases, furniture, doors, cabinets, and a variety of other pieces. Stately, elegant, or playful, the monogram is the perfect way to make a statement.

Let’s Talk Chalk

Let’s talk Chalk Wall for a minute, shall we? The Chalk Wall Rectangle Panel is consistently one of our top sellers in the Chalk Wall category. You simply pull whatever into the MyDesign Suite and create your own little Chalk Wall projects. So try customizing one yourself today!


A shopping list…


a scoreboard…


…and a chore chart

All this talk of Chalk Wall got me thinking, “What else are people doing with this product?” Please post a comment and share with everyone what you have created with the Rectangle Panel. Or if you have a unique idea for any of the other Chalk Wall products, feel free to post those as well!

Make It Your Own!

Sometimes customizing a UL Exclusive™ Expression gives it just the right touch for your space.


Here is a simple love expression that is beautifully enhanced by adding the personalization element.


What teenage athlete isn’t proud to display their name and number wherever they can? This awesome expression was just made even more awesome in your football player’s eyes!


Here we have the ultra-popular Dandelion Dance expression, combined with a beautiful saying created in the MyDesign Suite. (Keep in mind that this is what this design would look like after you put it on the wall; not what it looks like in MyDesign Suite. Dandelion Dance is a theme pack, so you’ll place the seedlings in whatever pattern you want when you actually apply it).


Now this is just plain fun. You can easily pull this expression into the MyDesign Suite, add a custom expression with your child’s name, match the colors of his room…and voila! So cute!

And then a little something for yourself. This just makes you want to step inside Karen’s craft room, doesn’t it?

The sky is truly the limit with MyDesign Suite. Be as creative as you want to be, and don’t be afraid to try new and even weird or funky things. You might be surprised at what MyDesign Suite can help you create!

First Signs of Spring

See how easily a space can be transformed using one of our new Decorative Prints. In keeping with our theme of spring, the “Branch & birds” Decorative Print (#17585) has been used. There are 3 different color options in this design, so choose the color scheme that works best with your décor. Since Decorative Prints are removable and repositionable, if the branch isn’t quite where you want it, just peel it off and move it around until you are satisfied with its placement.
The focal point for the tabletop uses our chipboards. “Spring” (which ties in nicely with our theme) has six letters—the exact number of chipboards that come in our Chipboard accessory (#300106). So using the MyDesign Suite, "Spring" was created to fit perfectly on the chipboard. The font,Fantini (5” tall) is fun and playful. Complement by using the colors of Robin’s Egg (#9058), Lemon Chiffon (#9022), and Cotton Candy (#9029) in our MyDesign expression. You could simply choose a single color, but if you’re looking to break out of the winter blahs, don’t be afraid to explore with some splashes of coordinating colors. Glue some matching decorative paper to the chipboard and then applied the expressions. To add the finishing touches to this project, add our UL Dress-Ups™ Gems (#300104), all three colors of the Mini Blooms (#300191, #300192, #300193), and some coordinating ribbon.

Transform. That is a word that is often used to describe what Uppercase Living vinyl can do to any home or office. However, it doesn’t have to be limited to a single space.







Vinyl can truly “transform” an entire room!


Complement a welcoming expression with a beautiful scroll embellishment border and a variety of colors of flowing grass. Take the scroll and add it to the hurricane lamp. One embellishment allows for two different placements and ties the theme together.

In this playroom, the Adorable alphabet on pg. 76 was used as a border and complemented it with a Chalk Wall School House, a Contemporary Clock with a My Design Suite Expression, and even a fun charger and easel to tie the entire look together. There are so many items available, the options seem endless!

Vinyl truly is as versatile as any other home décor product. It is incredibly easy to install and then change, and is far more affordable then custom paint or wallpaper in any space. And with Uppercase Living, you can truly customize their space with the incredible variety of colors and sizes not available anywhere else.

It is so rewarding to be able to completely transform a room in just a few hours. What will YOU do with it?

Give Peace a Chance!

Peace signs are back in trend right now. We’re seeing them everywhere, particularly in teen décor. So, now Uppercase Living offers a peace sign embellishment in the Embellishment library (Item #45225_ _ [2"–18"]). We received a ton of requests for this, and recognizing that peace signs are trending big right now, we opted not to wait till the next catalog release, but to send it to the embellishment library immediately.

Add matching vinyl peace signs to the walls, lampshades, closet doors, or other furniture in your room to complete the “peace” look! A splash of Electric Pink, Shoreline Blue, Green Tea, and Chocolate Brown peace signs would match this bedding beautifully.

And these embellishments don’t have to remain in bedroom décor. Teens can put them on their lockers, notebooks, laptops, or cars. Can you imagine? A super-cute peace-sign-themed dorm room! Because it is an embellishment, this design is available in a huge range of sizes (from 2” to 18” wide!), so you're are sure to find something that works for you.
