Great idea darl. Another idea I hadn't thought of was getting the kids to help with the canvas prints. I love doing craft stuff with the kids. Lucky you gave me another idea because DH hates the canvas prints I got for Will .
Hey Liviam sounds great what you have done, I was thinking about the paint and why not just do a feature wall in each childs bedroom??
Another place to check for wall decals is DH gate, its like chinese ebay, dont let that turn you off I have made purchases from there before its not a problem and its safe, just like our ebay check the sellers feedback. You will find the decals on there for really cheap, sometimes in bulk then you could just resell the ones you dont want - just a thought.
How exciting Dan!!! Bummer about the canvas' - I saw the coolest thing the other day - basically a person took photos of their kids artwork - 9 of them and then they made them really small and put them all on one print and framed it! Looked way cool - will link you if I can find it again!
As for the green - could you just do a feature wall??? I think the mint green and a brighter green would be great! I also saw some (not cheap :S) but gorgeous mobiles at Adairs kids the other day - a big butterfly one and I think there is a boys one too that is cars?? They have wall stickers as well if you miss out on the ebay ones! Good luck babe!
ETA: Hopefully this LINK is ok - that is a big scale of the artwork I was talking about! The one I saw was smaller but same principle!

with DDs room we went with plain walls, a fancy pants wall decal. we also bought a simple wrought iron single bed from ikea and got the ikea canopy net thingy with dots. we are also hunting around for some lovely sheer but fun curtains to go over some dark blockout blinds we are putting in.
I also reckon that a really nice light fitting can really ramp up a room and make it special IYKWIM.
