I have always wanted to paint a tree somewhere in my house. I am not brave enough to add color to all of my walls, so most of them stay bare. So when my husband came home with a broken projector from work, I knew my tree was not far off!
The projector got fixed, I found the tree I wanted to paint, and went for it!
I started by patching some holes in the wall and then cleaning it. I don't have any pictures of tracing it out, but this tutorial from Just a Girl explains the whole projector process.
So here is the finished product:
What do you think?I think I am going to add some black detail and maybe a little bird on one of the branches. Not sure just yet! Oh and the hole under the tree is my dog's cubby in the wall...he needed a spot to hide away from my son!

This is amazing! I too have been wanting to paint a tree on my wall. I've looked into a vinyl decal, but they are just so darn expensive! $90 or more. This would be the perfect solution. I may see if I can borrow someone's projector..
ReplyDeleteI think it's adorable that your dog has a cubby hole to hide out. My furry girls would love that too.
Lovely. I'm going to have to check that tutorial out. If you added an owl you would epitomize everything going on in creative blogs nowadays. Maybe a chandelier? :-) Just teasin'. I would love it if you would link this up to my Marvelous Mess party....each party I feature one project on my sidebar for a week!!
