My cousin and I spent the weekend painting a mural in my son't room. It is a work in progress but I wanted to post some pictures. It was really fun, a pain in the butt, but fun! Now if only we can get him to sleep in there.

Now, THAT'S impressive, Megan!! WOW!!! Your son is a lucky guy! It looks like something on TY Pennington's Extreme Home Improvement show. You guys have such talent! You say it's a work in progress. What else are you going to paint?

Oh. My. Goodness! That is seriously impressive! I thought I was doing good to get a picture painted for my daughters room. You're amazing!

Just fabulous! I have a friend who did the same theme in her son's room about 10 years ago. It is still there and they are 24 and 19!! I can see yours having the same effect on your son- he won't want it to go!!

Thanks everyone! I want to add more animals, especially fun little things like bugs, tree frogs, chameleons. On the other side of the room we might do a waterfall and some big animals like a gorilla gathered around in the reading nook corner. I hope he will love it for a long time because I don't think I could bear to paint over it! Yeah, I'd love to see some other murals if anyone else has them. Tasha, what are you planning in the playroom?

I am planning a cloud. I am going to paint some faeries and rainbows and glitter etc. but the whole room shall be a cloud. It was that or make it look like the walls of a small house since that is where the girls play house with their kitchen and table and itty bitty couch...
Zoe has a huge faerie sitting on a mushroom with butterflies swirling around her-I painted with when I was about 7 months pregnant with her.
Grace's is in progress as she has quite an extensive mural that she picked out. It is a fearie for each of the colors of the rainbow and they are dancing and swirling ribbons...it's very pretty. I will take a photo when I am done. I don't have a photo of Zoe's wall on this computer so I will have to take a picture....Will do that later today....:D

Megan,
That is so wonderful! You are so talented! I love painting and have always wanted to paint murals for the kids, but we STILL are not in our permanent house yet - hopefully really soon!
Tasha, love to see yours when it is done.
Best wishes,
Jayne |

WOW! What an artist you are, Megan, and what a lucky boy Seth is to be able to sleep in the great jungle every night. I can just imagine his imagination running wild and free there..what a lucky little boy!!!
XOXO, Libbie

Hi Jessica-
I haven't done anything else yet. I found some great rainforest photography books from the library for inspiration thouhg. I want to do some big pitcher plants and more bugs and birds. But, the house we live in (not ours, it is a bater as a nanny position for a couple's son) is being shown by a realtor tomorrow. I'm very sad, especially about that mural, my son loves it. We'll see what happens. But I don't think I'll be painting anymore until I know just how long we'll be here. Yhe thought of it getting painted over beekas my heart. Oh well... |

Sorry to here you might have to move and leave that wonderful mural behind. Here's a thought for anyone who is in temporary housing or would like to be able to take the mural with you. Attach a large canvas to the wall, prime, gesso and paint. Attach a little molding around the outer edge and no one is the wiser! Or something I saw in a design house was hollow core doors made into a folding screen configuration and then painted to match the rooms theme. They were secured to the walls with L brackets so no fear of toppling over either! Both ideas are portable and flexible for a new space. Take lots of pictures for Seth's memory book if you have to move. At 13 my son still asks about the house he "came home" to.
with a happy heart |
