You could always do something around a small area, like a lightswitch or electrical outlet.

Small area and won't harm much to remove it after the demo with your wife.

I think that personally I would prefer to make a stencil and paint the wall rather than stick a piece of vinyl on it. Just my thoughts.

Yes, I'm sure most people would. But it's like the tradeoff between a vinyl T-shirt design and a screen printed design. Painting is more time consuming, more expensive, and more durable. Vinyl just offers somebody a cheaper, less permanent alternative. If you don't like it, just pull it off.

I accidentally came upon this site tonight that sells vinyl wall art of pro sports players. It's yet another market.

Fathead Official Site

"Thick high-grade vinyl resists tears, rips and fading."

Very cool! I can imagine this is an exciting product for parents.

For those wanting to make such a product like this, or the home/office decor vinyl product as shown on the other links I provided, what size cutter would you recommend?

What size cutter do you use for the kids pics?

I'm doing that kind of work too, and I'm also printing with a Versacamm, which broadnes the offer range.
