Walk the Plank into a Pirate Room!



Since The Pirates of the Caribbean movies came out, Pirate themed rooms have gotten very popular with young boys. Using a blue paint on the lower half of the walls creates a chair rail and cuts down on the space that the mural is painted on, thereby cutting costs, and the wave detail is a very cute design, much more interesting than a wooden chair rail. Pottery Barn was carrying a line of pirate themed bedding that went well with these murals, and you can find cute fabrics all over the place that would coordinate with this style of room.

Simple Safari

This room was painted a yellowish green color, and then we just painted the assorted animals
right on the solid paint, rather than doing a mural that covered every square inch of wall. This is a very practical way of doing things, saving my labor and your money, and gives you a very fun room at the same time. You really don't lose anything with this method of painting a mural.
