Okay, let's talk about these vine wall decals. First impression? Gorgeous. The watercolor design is vibrant and looks way more expensive than it actually is. I slapped these on my boring rental kitchen wall and suddenly it felt like a cozy café with ivy creeping in.

The application was... an adventure. The bottom rectangular part went on like a dream - peel, stick, done. But those delicate leaf cutouts? Total nightmare. They kept folding onto themselves like stubborn origami, and trying to unfold them left permanent creases. RIP top section of my decal.

Here's the weird part though - even with half the decal destroyed, what remained transformed my space completely. The color stays vibrant (no fading after 3 months near a sunny window), and the adhesive is shockingly strong yet removable (tested this when I needed to reposition).

Pro tip: These work BEST on smooth walls. My textured bathroom wall required serious pressing and some areas still lift slightly. Also wish the vines were longer - they awkwardly stop mid-wall unless you buy multiple sets.

Final verdict? When they work, they're magic. When they don't... well at least they're affordable enough to risk it.
