发芽’s Nursery Wall Mural

DISCLAIMER: 发芽 is a nickname, not 的 actual name of 的 baby. We’重新保持一个惊喜。 我以为我应该在几个人对此发表评论后指定。  I’m not THAT off 的 wall.

我发现 inspiration after stumbling upon 这个托儿所 在我最喜欢的博客上 另类的妈妈 . 

最初，我以为我想使用黑胶唱片，但是对于我想要的尺寸来说，它们太贵了。一个DIY壁画是 the 完美的解决方案，我有信心可以实现这一目标。

我发现 a shade of white that would go best with 的 current wall color- Polar Bear from Behr. Who would have thought that 的re were so many whites to choose from? 

After taking advice from others who have attempted 的 birch tree mural I went with a foam roller and foam brush for my tools.

The first step was to get 的 basic outline of 的 tree trunks. Actually 的 very first step was to tape but that part was boring.

My next step was to freehand paint 的 branches.

Then 的 easy part, adding 的 details.

…and voila!  I’m pretty happy with 的 results. Now I can’t wait until we get 的 furniture! 更多的苗圃改造照片要来了…
