Mural part 1

Well the time has finally come to start the mural for the nursery. Dave even helped. I needed help taping off the area that will be the mural so I could paint that white. He even got to use his new laser level so we could make sure it was all even and straight. So here is a picture of our yellow walls with the blue tape outline for the mural. The mural is 5 feet 5 inches tall and 6 feet and 10 inches wide.


Below is a white rectangle that will be the background for the mural. I am unsure if I will paint 2 coats or leave it at one. I have to wait for it to dry and then check. I am leaning towards leaving it since I am putting more paint on top. We shall see...

So the next step is to tape up the pattern and trace it on the wall. I am hoping to do that tonight. Tomorrow, I am going to one of my favorite places. Michael's (the craft store not the custard place). I have to purchase the paint for the actual mural and the detail brushes that I will need.

It is the perfect time to start this project as the weather outside has become quite cold and I even saw snow flakes/sleet today. Yuck! It will be nice to have a project to focus on in the nice warm house.

So far no adoption news to report, hopefully soon!
