Themed nursery question (Dr. Suess, Peanuts, etc)

M&MBride0506 · October 2009

How do you get the pictures on the wall? Me and hubby are both not artistic or anything like that, so I know we won't be able to do some of the characters that I see so beautifully done on some nurseries. Are there like decals or something like that that I can use for such a nursery? And where would we even begin to shop for stuff like that?

Thanks.

You could hire an artist to come and paint. Or I've seen some people use projectors to get the image on the wall, trace/outline it and then fill in with paint.

I love Peanuts and Snoopy

If you do not want copy writed images of animals, I used www.elephantsonthewall.com - very easy to do. They give you transfer paper and the image - you just tape it up, trace it, then paint it.

But using the same basic principle of what they sell, you can blow up an image to the size you need, but some transfer paper and then trace that.

I did a Dr. Seuss mural because of the lack of licensed stuff available. Pottery Barn Kids has a couple of prints...but you can get creative and buy the Dr. Seuss calendar (or Peanuts, etc) and frame the images from the calendars...probably cheaper than buying actual art.

if it is a theme like dr. suess you could buy some of the books and cut out the illustrations and frame them...

My BIL did a themed nursery for us, Peter Pan. He used a projector and divided the wall into a bunch of little squared and drew in the squares. The room took 52 hours to complete.

I bought some Dr. Seuss wall decals on eBay for our boys' Dr. Seuss themed room. Quick, easy, and inexpensive. I didn't buy a set this big, but you get the idea.
