Kid’s Room Murals Revisited

One of the best things about painting for so many years has been revisiting my clients over time, seeing their style evolve, and helping them as they redecorate or move into new homes. Most rewarding? Painting something sweet for a new baby or young child and then coming back as they grow older to repaint something new! Here are a few of my favorite examples of kid’s room murals that I have painted, and then came back to update!

Cowboy on horse, with rope around the perimeter of the walls.

The rope detail continues around the room and spells out his name. The other end of the rope makes a loop.

Young Aaron wanted his favorite computer game characters in his faux-window mural. (the waviness seen here is the actual wall-1920’s era plaster). Right-side faux window painted with disney-style bird and “putt-putt” character.

Left-side window painted with birds and view of lower Manhattan.

New room, new house. A more mature Aaron requested denim striae stripes.

Say good-bye, Cinderella!
