girlsroomSmSun.JPGgirlsroomsmMoon.JPGgirlsroomSm3.JPGgirlsroomSm2.JPGgirlsroomSm1.JPGWell, I've gone and slacked on bear making and spent the last two days painting my girls' bedroom with a day/night mural. lol  Their room was just white walls, and I got that pregnant itch to do something.... so here it is!  I haven't moved the furniture back or anything (waiting for hubby to do that part bear_original ) so I could take clear pics of the painting.

:clap: Wow- that is really pretty! I love the moon and sun- very expressive!! I'm an animal lover and I think I couldn't resist adding a bird in the sky or a squirrel on the tree trunk--it looks so inviting! Have fun with it! Ginny

Kim,
I wish that was my bedroom! How magical and beautiful! Your girls must love it! What are their ages? I wish I had been lucky enough to have such a lovely whimsical room during childhood. I hope they will appreciate their wonderfully talented mommy for doing that for them! Outstanding job! Just love those colors!  :clap:

Awww, you ladies are so sweet; thank you so much!  I worked feverishly to get it finished in record time; if it takes too long I'm liable to get burnt out! lol

Ginny, it's funny you say that; I hadn't mentioned it in the post, but I still have little 'details' to add... one being an owl perched in the tree on the night time side... I'm still mulling over what else I'll add.
I'm thinking about adding a limb to the tree for each of my two girls measured heights and hiding their age and name in the 'wood'.

Shari, did you want the lighter day color or the darker night color? Let me know and I'll grab the swatch and get the name off of it for you.

Eliza, they are 3 1/2 and 6.  So far they seem to be tickled by it!  bear_wub

WOW...and pregnant, too.I just know your girls will grow up to tell their children about the really special bedroom their mom painted for them. Who knows, maybe you'll be doing the same thing for grandchildren some day.   bear_smile

That being a ways off yet, I bet your house becomes the favorite place for giggling slumber parties.

Thank you so much, you all!  You have me blushing over here!  The girls seem to be really pleased with it; I hear them telling everyone who comes over, "My mom painted our room! Come see!"  It really makes it worthwhile... and the back ache... worthwhile too....  bear_tongue 

Shari, the color is "Sea Lavender" and is a Kilz color which I found at Wal-Mart.  If you can't find a place that sells Kilz paints, PM me and I'll send you this color swatch and you can have it color matched if it's the color you're looking for!
