Being the decor commitment phobes that we are, we understand how daunting your bare, naked walls can be. Especially those bright white ones. They want to be happy just like everyone else (that's what they tell us, anyway). You could paint them, but do you really want to? Will your landlord let you? Master scrapbook designer, Noel Culbertson, recently struggled with similar questions and

As you know, blik has a thriving custom business that lets clients realize their own unique vision for a space, be it commercial or residential. Whether we engineer the designs, collaborate on them, or simply execute them, blik allows you to dramatically change the look of a room and mix things up when it's time for something new...because it's removable...but you knew that. Since blik can

As you know, we recently partnered with the Santa Monica Museum of Art on their educational program, Wall Works. Over 250 K-12 students designed a one-of-a-kind blik wall graphic in answer to our question: If you weren't a human, what would you be? The resulting large-scale public art mural, designed by SMMoA using all of the children's designs, was revealed at Bergamot Station just a

In January, we announced our exciting involvement in Wall Works, the Santa Monica Museum of Art’s landmark educational program. Well, now the large-scale collaborative art installation is about to be revealed. Over 250 students designed one-of-a-kind blik decals in answer to the question: What would you be if you weren't human? At a reception tomorrow night, blik, the students, and the public

Every once in a while, one of our friends or relatives excitedly calls us to say they saw our Keith Haring designs on Candice Olson's "Divine Design".  If you haven't seen the episode, we thought we'd share some highlights--perhaps you'll find some inspiration.  Tatiana wanted a modern yet age-appropriate look for her baby girl's room. She also wanted the style of the room to reflect

There are two words you will never hear in the hallways of blik: "I'm bored". There's no time! Not only are we busy developing designs for our ever-expanding retail line, but we also have a constant flow of dynamic custom work that keeps the creative juices flowing. Like the series of images we recently blik'd for California-based, award-winning, independent interactive agency, Web

Beloved lifestyle designer and blik collaborator, Mel Lim, inspires a beautiful spread in Riviera Interiors Magazine.

One of our Venice neighbors, advertising gurus, Goodness Mfg., called on us to help jazz up their new offices.  So, we threw on our walking shoes and made the long, treacherous trek around the block to say hello and take a peek. Their space is an open, beautiful, blank canvas...several of them actually. Everyone's still brainstorming but we blik'd their door in the meantime.  Striking logo,

The Santa Monica Museum of Art, located at the historic Bergamot Station, is celebrating 20 years! In addition to their striking art exhibits, SMMoA is known for spearheading projects designed to bring art education to schools. We love that, particularly since art programs nationwide have suffered severe cutbacks over the years. That said, we are especially pleased to announce that blik has

UK magazine, Grand Designs, is the counterpart to their Channel 4 TV show hosted by Kevin McCloud.

It's a happy Thursday at blik as Bamboo was chosen for a piece in today's Los Angeles Times Home & Garden section about the appeal of this classic motif for indoor decor. Check it out! Co-owner, Scott Flora, sums things up nicely we think...of course, we could be biased: EXOTIC TOUCHES OF BAMBOO. As if that wasn't enough, flipping through the rest of the paper, we were startled to find Giant

With their first baby on the way, Stacey and Marc looked to blik to make their nursery special. They had a vision of what they wanted, so we listened and initially turned their ideas into concept artwork for approval. Once we got the thumbs up, their decals were made and shipped off. Stacey and Marc were kind enough to take a photo of their installation and send it to us just days before baby

One of our favorite magazines, domino, gave us some amazing praise this week. We are feeling a little flushed by the highlight from The Deal Hunter, Nick Olsen--who, coincidentally, has an architecture background just like blik co-owner, Scott Flora. If you aren't already in-the-know, domino is a style magazine centered on home, "the most important expression of who you are and how you live."

When we checked our mail today, we were stopped in our tracks by a cover shot featuring none other than blik Chandelier. When we realized it was the cover of Chiasso's 2008 winter catalogue, we were giddy. If you aren't already familiar with them, Chiasso's mission is to "inspire and delight" and we think their beautiful, unique, contemporary pieces do just that. No, we're not just saying

Librarian Peg K was in search of an interesting way to spruce up the library at premiere public Del Oro High School right here in CA. She rounded up blik designs IAM8BIT and ME, MYSHELF AND I and let the kids have at it.

Parents Magazine's Goodyblog--the online version of the 'zine's editors' choices for what to see, do and buy right now--recently invited us to join their December blog party.

Volkswagen is gearing up to introduce the Volkswagen Jetta Sportswagen TDI in 2008--a turbodiesel that burns clean enough to pass strict emissions regulations in CA and the New England states.

We don't mean to brag, but.....we are jumping for joy that Parents Magazine has stuffed their coveted Goody Bag: "must see, must do, must have this month" with blik Giant Robot Re-Stik decals (see December issue). And, if we're being honest, we happen to agree that GR Re-Stik is a hip holiday, birthday, or any day gift for your kids or the kid in you.
