Fiona Gathercole and Jenny Menz became determined to parlay their enjoyable hobby into a lifestyle change, particularly as children came onto the scene.
Established in 2006, thewallstickercompany.com.au offers a range of wall sticker designs that can be ordered online, or customised, to add a “wow” factor everywhere from children’s rooms to cafes and commercial spaces such as expos.
In June, the business had a facelift to refresh its brand identity and with the help of a business coach, is now making both women a living, allowing them to recruit their first staff member to help fulfil production and packing orders.
Their product is distributed through 30 retail stores and the site is getting inquiries from as afar as the US. And the women are currently expanding into home decorator ranges, such as Flying Duck decals.

Very cute idea. I have a friend who puts giant stickers on the walls like this and the room looks incredible. Now I know where to find these!
