Men at Work

Boys are God's way of telling you that your house is too neat!

I know I just showed you the mural I painted yesterday, but I wanted to show you the very first wall mural I painted.  It was for my grandson, two years ago.  I flew in to see both my grandson and granddaughter and stayed quite awhile with them so I could paint a wall mural in each of their rooms.  My grandson's room was the first and it was the most intensive. 

My daughter-in-law and I discussed what to paint, but she already had a pretty good idea of what she wanted, based on my grandson's comforter.  It might not look like much, but painting the horizontal stripes on two opposite walls and keeping them straight and perfect was a bit challenging.  Thank goodness for Frogtape! 

We went to Michael's and bought some poster paper for me to make the signs with.  Each sign was handpainted and the lettering was traced on and then painted free hand.

Both walls are framed in a brighter blue to match his comforter, and the other two walls are painted solid blue.  He's fortunate to have a cathedral ceiling in his room.

Tomorrow I'll show you what I painted in my granddaughter's room.
