Castle Theme Wall Mural

Back when murals were waaaaaay cool for baby’s baby nursery’s , I did an “homage” to my husband’s English roots by.. at 8 1/2 months pregnant. BTW..  painting a castle theme wall mural on the soon-to -be-first baby’s walls.It was actually the mural that launched my creative career. It took me 13 hours. It’s the room that started my mural business. My husband reminded me that I painted it the weekend he went for  a bachelor party in Vegas. Hm. Funny how he remembers that….I have to admit, It’s a little bittersweet to see it go.
A wooden crib and wardrobe are placed against a wall painted with a night sky mural featuring a crescent moon, stars, and subtle castle details, creating a magical baby nursery with castle theme.

Can you see how old theses photo’s are? I had to scan them from actual prints. I am so glad I took them! I loved being able to create not only the look of night sky that the baby could sleep under, but a stone castle wall.

As each child came, I added a little bit more to the scenery. As you can see from the top image and this one, sometime is the middle, I added a blooming tree on the night sky wall. We also changed out the furniture and had to get a different crib for the last child.

By number 3 it was a full on paint-a-palooza. When the crib went, the room became an office/storage place as all 3 kiddos shared a bedroom.

Now, that first “baby” is ready to grow up and get her own room. She’s headed back into the same room she started from and it’ s times to refresh the walls and paint over the castle theme wall mural.

I admit, I am a little sad to see it go, but it’s time. So the “hawt” painter put on his bandana for me today and started painting. He’s such a good guy; I might have to give him  a big kiss. It’s a good thing I’m married to him. 🙂 You can see how the room makeover turned out here.
