All Murals Painting

A flowery bedroom mural + a bunny with glasses!

Esther came to me and told me that “since I was painting all of the rooms in the house that I NEEDEDDDD to paint a bunny and flowers in her bedroom”! I mean, how can I argue with that?!?! So after a few sketches, I came up with a colorful floral mural with a deep Olive background (that I am just IN LOVE with) and then, of course, a pink bunny with glasses on the floor so that she can say good night every night to her bunny (which she happily named flower)! šŸ™‚

I started this mural by sketching up the florals on my iPad in (my fave app) Procreate just because I wanted to get a sense of which florals I wanted to paint. I decided to “cluster” the florals a bit across the wall and I love how cohesive it makes the wall feel!

ANNNND can I just say that I have *never* painted on such a dark background before but now I am HOOOOKED! I love how this darker olive sets the tone for making the florals pop! It’s a warm, natural, happy color that I am currently trying to figure out where to paint in another room in our house!

Here are the color names I used:

  • Behr color Russian Olive (background on the whole walllll)! šŸ™‚
  • Behr color Dash of Oregano
  • Behr color Tangy Green
  • Behr color Indian Spice (one of my favveeee colors that I’ve used before)
  • Behr color Egg Cream
  • Behr color Jade Mountain
  • Behr color Lunar Tide
  • Behr color Priceless Coral
  • Behr color Flamingo Feather

And one thing that was new this mural too, is that since the olive green was such a dark color, it was SOOOOOO so easy to sketch the design in chalk! I barely had to sketch to get some of the shapes and scale of the florals! It was an awesome surprise! šŸ™‚

I am suppppppper happy with how this mural all turned out! Like *SO* happy!!! The colors, the feel, the composition, the new techniques I tried….all of it! And the icing on the cake is how much Esther screamed of happiness when she saw her new pink bunny roommate! šŸ™‚

    I love this mural and would love to recreate it at home. Looking at your paints, did you get a gallon of the Russian Olive and sample size of the rest?

Adding color and lots of little personalities and Adding color and lots of little personalities and faces to our weekend. Because love wins and death is conquered….so yes, this is for sure how we celebratešŸŽ‰

Also, yes, this is clearly a @claussenpicklesofficial because duh, they are the best! ā¤ļø

Except of course inserting many phrases in place of the ā€œwe don’t talk about Brunoā€ song…..ya know, ā€œwe don’t talk about dishes no no nooooo. We don’t talk about laundryyyyyy.ā€ šŸ  šŸŽØ šŸ’› 
Also, the minute the hot glue was dry, Esther picked up the Casita, hugged it and ran it to the living room where she played most of the afternoon. A moment of Mom win to warm my heart šŸ˜­ā¤ļø

If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllio If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllion more times: I LOVE PAINNNTTTTT! Here’s the thing……paint is always, 100% paint-overable. If you paint something, step back, live with it for while but just doesn’t feel right…..simply paint over it. Like really that simple. 
I’ve done this a handful of times in our own home….bathrooms, bedrooms, hallways (like so many times in the hallways šŸ˜‚)! 
Painting to me is a slight reflection of life: nothing is perfect, and even when mistakes or missteps feel overwhelming they are always worth fixing and usually fixable annnnnd it’s amazing how much a  small moment can bring big joy…..or in this case a big moment on a biiigggg wall šŸŽ‰šŸŽØ
I am doing my last restock of these little nutcrac I am doing my last restock of these little nutcracker buddies tonight at 7pm (central time)! So if you’ve had your eyes on them, especially after seeing them in @hgtvmagazine (gahhhhhhh, still can’t get over this), then be sure to find yourself in my shop tonight at 7pm central!
Even thought I had alllll the intentions of postin Even thought I had alllll the intentions of posting this sooner, I make no apologies because I don’t like living in the land of the ā€œshoulddasā€. Especially during this season of intentional slowing down and anticipating the arrival of Christmas. 
Download this coloring advent village and take a few min away to color each house and talk about the season and the way you can shine light! 
PS, download the file on my blog amongst the other holiday themed doodles coloring sheets…..AND we printed our village in gargantuan size from Staples….(their engineer print) and I am not one but mad about the fact that it will take up nearly half a wall! šŸ˜‚ ā¤ļøšŸŽ„
Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full of hot glue burns and can honestly say it makes me happy. Like so thankful and happy! 
Okkayyy well maybe not the burns themselves but the fact that I’m over here, in my little studio space in Wisconsin crafting my heart out and you’re sending the love right back to me with all the support! Support for the doodles and painting and costumes and sewing and other colorful things that I’m eager to share! 
SO thankful. Like I’d really love to give you all a humongous big hug right now.
