Vinyl Wall Designs - In the Beginning

Posted by WallsNeedLove on 7/13/2011

It all started with a grandmother's love. Ali, the owner/creator, used to run a tini-tiny car decal kiosk in Opry Mills shopping mall located in Nashville, TN. One quiet day in the mall a little lady came strolling up with a relaxed but inquisitive smile on her face. Ali says hello and asks how he can help her out, wondering what in the world could this lil' lady want to stick on her car window. Some racing stripes? Maybe an oversized window logo? Surely not flames? She replies, "I have a question, can you make me a wall decal that says "Grandchildren Welcome... parents by appointment" Given that Ali was raised by his grandmother(granny), and that she has always rubbed elbows with her daughter(Ali's mom), he thought this was a really funny quote. "Sure I can do that no problem, but you're going to stick that on your car window?" he replies. "No!" she says. "I'm going to stick it on my wall." and the lightbulb blinked to ON.

For the next following months Ali used any free time to design vinyl wall quotes to sell along with his car decals. That christmas he opened Walls Need Love in the mall but the business sales didn't really go as expected. Customers didn't really understand the product or idea that was being sold. Determined that the concept was original and could be successful Ali designed his first site on Mac's basic software iWeb. Hard work and designing never ceased and eventually the site was professionally rebuilt. Today the office runs smoothly and efficiently(most of the time). The website stays up to date and new vinyl wall designs are added regularly. If you call in you're likely to hear one of our dogs barking or Matt jabbering in the background about the latest topic. We also have Mitch, the ninja weeder/masker/boxer that regularly comes in with his shirt unbuttoned(i guess he still hasn't repaired his A/C). And there is also Chad busting heads to keep the customers happy and the animals(Matt, Mitch, Chewy, and Baby) under control.

In any case it is important to remember that Walls Need Love and so do our grandmothers.
