(You can see our doorstop...it's an old iron without a handle)
I wish I had the talent, and patience, to paint these by hand, but I don't. I waited till these chickens were back on sale before ordering the vinyl decals from here, then did them the same way I made my Grocery Sign. After taping off the baseboards, I painted two coats of Glidden's Hazy Sage (much nicer color in person than in this picture) over the area where my hen & chicks will be hanging out.
Once that was good and dry, I added the hen and chickens...
and painted over them with two coats of the new wall color (Color Place's Spanish Chestnut).
When that was dry, I carefully peeled off the vinyl decals.
The last time I did this, I couldn't figure out what color to paint the walls, so I had to redo it 3 times. If you are very careful when pulling the decals off, you can reuse the decals 2-3 times. (**Disclaimer: The green wall you see on the left isn't going to stay that color. It'll also be painted the Hazy Sage color.)
