Making my walls beautiful soon

[Andee]

In a couple years we will likely we moving into a new house. One we will own. I am already sure I will be painting my bedroom a soft grey blue (not sure of the exact one yet) but I also kind of... want to make myself a hide away... someplace I can feel out in nature without having to go outside if I am going through an agoraphobic stage. I am planning on getting some wall decals, some tree ones (likely several groups of different types) and several animals one, like ones that I connect to most. There will most definitely be a stag, a wolf, and if I can fine the right one that matches the setting in my head a chameleon. I also plan to see if I can get some birds and maybe some insects or something. We will see. It will definitely be done in stages since wall decals are expensive as all get out. And I will like only do two of my walls, I think four would be over kill. I also want to do stars somehow... either the usual glow in the dark stuff... But if I can find some sort of light that will cast stars on the ceiling that would be amazing... it would be a place I would actually want to be to relax.

Sounds Great Andee- Loving those ideas- I was just looking on Etsy Zestphotography do some amazing decals- and one is a chameleon, I will be setting up my parsons new homes soon and have been looking at decals as a backdrop for them enclosures rather than plain walls- I'd like forest scenes maybe.
Have you thought about painting your own? Grid an image then make a bigger grid on the wall and transfer the shapes- might be fun if you are of an artistic nature-
either way sounds like a mini forest paradise you'll be making.

Sadly I am not good with paints, charcoal is my favorite medium of all time, but paints I am horrible with.

I am switching the stars to a jellyfish lamp, so it looks like waves on the ceiling but the jellyfish are life-like and float. It'll be cool because I love jellyfish much.

I found websites that offered large nature murals (photography of forests etc) that you put up like wallpaper. I didn't paste them to the walls, just pinned them carefully. You should be able to find a star projector...maybe something from a kid's "discovery" type store, or some sort of night light for a kid's bedroom. I liked the wall murals as they made it feel more like a big picture window of a outdoor scene rather than a decal of an item. Actually, I put one on two walls of my first free range room for the melleri. Sometimes they would sit perched as close to the mural as possible hoping to be in a "real" tree. Now when I had to move away from that house and the real estate agent first saw the free range room with its 8' tall potted trees, the murals, the misting system, fogger, hanging full spectrum light fixtures, and the three melleri, she was alarmed and shocked. Her comment was "you will have all this removed before we list the house, right?".

I painted a floor to ceiling tree like the one in Paddington the film, the big cherry tree that is in their stair way. I love it.
