Show & Tell: Baby D’s Nursery Tree Mural

I am so pleased to share my first mural project of 2012.
One of my dear friends is due in March, and I was thrilled to paint this special nursery for little “Baby D!”

The mom originally thought of buying a wall decal, but after brainstorming we decided having a more personalized tree would be more meaningful and a bit less static. She wanted a fairly realistic “whimsical” tree with leaves that almost resembled scrapbook paper ~ what a fun and adorable challenge! To create a more sentimental level, I actually pulled colors and patterns from various fabrics, toys, and artwork around the room. I have to admit the purple pattern is my favorite (shown on the bird below). It came from a precious artwork/photo collage that hangs on the opposite wall. Some of the colors in the photos below are a bit off (the last two are probably the closes to the correct wall color… which was a beautiful blue green). After two different painting sessions and countless chats about which leaf was our favorite, the nursery was complete! I must say I am so proud of how it all turned out. I think it captures the parents’ sweet nature perfectly and will hopefully be a peaceful space to Baby D to enjoy for many years to come.

After painting, I received the sweetest message from the mom,
We really could not possibly be happier about how amazing the tree is… three different times tonight we went up to the nursery and just sat in there and gazed at it! It really is the most perfect piece for the space…. We are so incredibly grateful and happy! Thank you!!!”
This message made my heart happy…. I love what I do!
I’m sooooo happy for soon-to-be Mommy D!
