Nursery mural painting

[deetor]

Hello Everyone,
I am only newly pregnant, and already thinking about what i want to do with nursery.
I have seen on the internet, beautifully painted murals and am wondering if anyone who lives in melbourne, victoria, knows of people who come out and paint murals in rooms.
I would love kinda like a sky theme with bears in hotair balloons, but i do like the big tree and bees, lady bugs, birds etc... Lots to think about. Has anyone got any links or know of people who have done this?
Would love to hear from you!

You can probably do this for a tiny fraction of the cost by buying a roll of a border or kiddy wallpaper, cutting out the characters and then sticking them onto a plain blue wall.

Worth a thought, you've a few months to get it done in!

Thank you for your ideas, i have thought of that, but i do really like the painted on effect. But if i cant find anyone to do it, i might look into it.
Thanks!

I had a friend who painted an "under the sea" theme for her DD's nursery. She put pictures of sea creatures into an overhead projector and painted them onto the wall, then painted the water around it. Looks great.

Congratulations on your pregnancy Deetor! What exciting times ahead. I would like to paint a mural on the nursery wall for my baby one day too. I don't have any suggestions but I hope you will find someone soon. Maybe check at TAFE? Some of the students may be able to do the job (plus it may be cheaper?). Just a thought. Art students are usually quite creative and happy to take on jobs to show their creativity You could put an ad or their message board.

That's a fantastic idea buzzawuzza! Thanks for sharing that. I have been wondering what the best way to do it would be. Have chosen a theme but my freehand drwing is not that great
