Stripes

Stripes are one of the easiest ways to give your room a little pizzaz. Such an impact can be made with this design. One way to do it is to go half way up the wall, with an actual wooden chair rail, or a painted chair rail as shown in the pink and brown nursery and the butter yellow and white bathroom above, to separate the stripes from the solid color on top. The painted border can be done to match your bedding or other design elements, giving a very customized look.

Bold stripes are great in kids rooms, such as these examples. The Cardinal Red/Gold/Tan stripes are part of a USC themed room, and the Hot Pink/Black/White stripes tie into the Zebra bedding in this little girls room. The Zebra border was hand painted to tie it all together.

In a nursery, as shown in the Princess themed room and the Blue/Black room above, stripes are a good way to bring in color and leaves you with options down the road, when the crib moves out and a twin bed moves in. In either of these rooms, the crib can be replaced with a twin under the mural or monogram.

In this case, we painted a wave design above the existing chair rail, and added stripes to correspond to the waves in this Surf Shack themed room. It's so easy to dress up a room, and it doesn't always call for doing a huge, involved mural. Stripes can do the trick!

Pink and Brown

Pink and Brown is the hot color combination in little girls rooms right now as you probably know already. Trends in clothing tend to mirror what is happening in interior spaces as well, and everything is beyond cute right now! The nurseries above were given that special something with very fancy paintings for very lucky little ladies.

This room was painted this deep pink color and then I added the lighter pink stripes and chocolate brown pinstripes, and created a chair rail with a floral border taken from the flowers used in the custom bedding.

This baby boutique was painted with pinks and blues set off by chocolate brown in the stripes and the large logo above the cash wrap. Abbie Rose is located in Aliso Viejo on Aliso Creek, their website and other contact information is here: Abbie Rose They have the cutest stuff in the store!

This nursery was painted with a simple circle design and the baby's monogram, the idea was taken from the bedding, a common place to start finding ideas and inspiration for your mural. A side note, this lucky client won a gift certificate at her daughter's school Silent Auction so the mural was free! If you have an even coming up I always will donate a gift certificate, let me know and I will put one together for your event!

Again, the bedding was the inspiration for this mural, I took the flowers from the bedding and created a chair rail between the brown and the pink, and then created a plaque of sorts with the baby's monogram.

Rooms fit for a Princess

These little girls live in style! Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and the rest of those girls have nothin' on my petite clients.

This Fairy Princess mural was all 4 walls, lots and lots of details. I took ideas from vintage fairy prints and used "flower fairies" in the mural, with their matching flowers. My other inspiration for this mural came from a set of books I had as a little girl, by Stephen Cosgrove and illustrated by Robin James, the "Serendipity Books". GREAT trees and bunnies!

This playroom was designed as a loft from a previously open upstairs space. The sisters have each their own window and crown to look down upon us common folk from. Their mom told me that many play dates have ended with friends of the girls screaming and crying because they didn't want to leave the castle!
