Mural

eta: I took a better picture with my camera. You can see it much better now.


So we have always wanted to have a mural painted in the little inset between the kids rooms. Our painter recommended a lady who does murals, so she came over to discuss it. I had no preconceived notions about it, but after she asked some questions about it, we decided on a tropical theme. Devon wanted dolphins (jumping up by the sun), and Marisa wanted horses (there are 3 little ones bottom left), so they each got their wish as well. I wanted the sunrise.

Very pretty! I think things like that give a home character. I think it's cool that the kids got to contribute ideas to it as well.

Can you paint some penguins and chocolate pudding in there for me?

I considered putting in some chocolate croissants, and of course some cheese, but got vetoed.

That's very cool. Our old neighbors had lots of cool murals in their house. There was an awesome one in their twins' bedroom.

Awesome! So nice you could incorporate everything.

pbbt. You'd think the horses could've at least been wearing cheeseheads.

Nice, I like it.

How very pretty and agree that it's great that your children contributed to the idea.

I keep forgetting to take a pic of the mural that came with this house.

The mural is beautiful! We had a mural in our previous home and I loved it. I'd have a mural in every room if I could.
