Star Wars

This room was for a pretty cool kid who loves all things Star Wars.  I really wish I had a before and after of this room because it was a huge transformation.  Before the walls had been heavily textured and painted a dark cornflour blue.  The owners had sanded the texture down and chose a light gray color for the walls, which made the room look so light and clean and crisp.

I used a projector for this project.  I used this image from the internet and was able to finish it in a little over a day.  And when I say a little over a day, the second day was less than an hour for touching up and second coats.  Every time I do a mural I think to myself  "Oh this is for sure my favorite!" and in the case of the Millennium Falcon it is indeed my favorite and will probably hold the title for quite a while.

Sock Monkey

So this is a mural I did over Easter weekend.  It's for a soon-to-be beautiful little boy.  His hip mom wanted a sock monkey theme for the nursery.  She actually picked out the paints for this project and I think she was spot on. 

Hip mom brought me two images she found from a website that sales wall decals.  She liked the tree from one image and the monkeys from another.  The website never returned her email when she inquired about making a custom decal.  That's when she enlisted me. 

For this project I was going to use a projector but with the low angle of the ceiling and me really wanting to frame the crib I ended up free-handing it.  It took me a total of two full days

Red Room

This mural was done for a darling teenage girl, she picked out the image from the internet and I free-handed this.

 It took a little less than a week to finish.  It had lacy detail and painting white on top of red took about three coats. (The adorable bedding is from Anthropologie.)
