Congratulations to Lauren and Mike on the addition to their family. I was given the pleasure of getting a glimpse of the finished nursery complete with furniture, drapery, area rug, and of course, a little monkey. Now it's time for him to enjoy his surroundings and dream about all things, puppies, monkeys and pirates!
2012: Sweet Dreams
By combining some adorable animals, a couple of quarts of paint and an excited pregnant chick you get something amazing: inspiration for art. My customer fell in love with the baby jungle animals on the bedding for her soon-to-be-daughter's nursery and thought a matching mural would be a perfect fit in the room. She wanted the room to look cute and cozy while also staying within a certain budget. The process began with some sketches I created based on the photographs of the bedding. Once it was approved, we mapped out a floor plan as to where she wanted her furniture to then determine placement of the characters on the walls. I then went to work by adding the baby animals in soft, pastel colors and tied the room together with a striped accent wall. As a small token of my appreciation, I painted a wooden light switch plate to match, which reads "Sweet Dreams" on the bottom. I can't wait to see the room after the furniture is in and it is decorated!
A nursery is a great place to start little ones on their way to discovering a world of imagination right in their own bedroom or playroom. Babies and young children are constantly observing and are intrigued by designs of contrasting colors and stripes. Painting your baby's nursery is a lot of fun, and with so many ideas to choose from; sport themes, nursery rhymes, flowers and trees, clouds, and so much more, any one that you decide on will make the room stimulate your child’s mind! The possibilities are as endless as your imagination.
