Wall Murals

When I went to redo Libby and Lola's room a few months ago I had a bit of a challenge. With 2 girls ages 6 and 2..I wanted to do something feminine and girly..but not "tween" quite yet, and not "baby" either. After seeing the beautiful paint colors in the spring PBK catalog I went with "Under the Big Top" by Benjamin Moore (Shhhh...I had a big box store mix it for MUCH cheaper. Who cares if it's not as high quality!?! Let's be honest, I'll change it again within a few years). I followed http://justagirlblog.com/2009/12/tree-mural-tutorial.html (forgive me for the long link, I'm still learning how to shorten it..and I'm to lazy/impatient to figure it out right now), using my handy dandy projector. It really was easy peasy (although time consuming) I did spend quite a bit of time finding my own tree image somewhere on the www... although now I have no idea where! I wanted the tree to curve and sway across the room.

Overall, I am very happy with the way it turned out. It makes me smile every time I walk in the room. The most important part, the girls love it too.
