Like my friend, Julie said when she saw it..."Wow, that's bright" haha. SOOO TRUE! Hoping it settles down a bit with polka dots and pictures on the wall...yikes! The actual color is "Fairytale Pink"...too cute.

{Progress}
Here is the beginning of my tree! I'm so excited to see the way it is turning out. Even though it looks a bit {S-C-A-R-E-Y} shhhhhh....don't sait it outloud! I'm hoping that it will look quite nice when I add the leaves! I just took the paintbrush to it one afternoon and the creative juices started flowing! I'm just thankful the girls haven't been too {S-C-A-R-E-D} of it!
On the adjacent wall....I've put Bella's Castle! (ok, so it DOES belong to Cinderella, but we are renting it out) Nope, didn't freehand this one, though I wish I had that kind of talent. Bella was quite excited to see this one on her wall.
I'm just about ready to be over and done with these projects! I really enjoy the painting part, and creating it all....but it would be nice to FINALLY have it finished and not be changing my mind constantly about it! I need to get a couple accessories for the tree....wouldn't be quite complete without an OWL and a fairy door....that's right, I said FAIRY DOOR (the coolest thing ever)!

Ok....from an earlier post I was asked what type of paints I use when I let the girls fingerpaint. Well, these are my favorite ones!!! I don't know what makes them a cut above...maybe I haven't tried them all...I guess I just trust the Crayola brandname Ü.
Proof:
Yes...that is Aube's apple :) mmmmmmm.

{DO OVER}
Well, we have been in this house for a year now. Last year, before we had even moved in, I had big plans for this big wall in the girls room. I searched and searched on the 'net....trying to find ideas and found this awesome site called WallNutz. I debated and debated what to do, what the THEME should be...and decided on this cute beach mural. I fell IN LOVE with it, actually. I went a little crazy buying up bedding and sheets from Pottery Barn in the Pink Island patchwork theme (which I am selling by the way, if anyone is interested)....along with knicknacks and pictures that were never hung! A year later...this is how far I got:
Not too shabby, but not complete at all....and of course...I am SO over it! Can you believe that? All the work that went into it (though obviously not enough since its NOT DONE) and I give up.
But I do have a good reason. I saw this room:
And fell in love with the TREE! I want to paint a tree on their wall, and have bedding like this or like this! (*Warning...the PBK's website is addictive, and should be used wisely*)
So...now I've started over on THE WALL... how sad!
And now I have been searching and searching again....trying to find the right tree to paint (or TRY to paint) on the wall. Here are some that I have come up with so far, along with other little details that would be nice to put in the room. These are the two tree's I love.
Though the one on the bottom is my favorite so far. Mainly b/c of the idea of the actual SWING hanging from the ceiling! How rad would that be???
On an adjacent wall, I would like to have this castle:
Bella flipped out when she spied these pictures on the computer screen! And no...these won't be painted, I found a rub-on decal at WM for a decent price!
And it wouldn't be complete with out a small field of daisies.
I guess I should have jotted down the blog that I found this fantastic creation on, so I could give props! But I thought it is just the most fabulous thing I've seen!! Too cute!
And...thru out all of this, I really want to paint the ceiling to look like the sky.
If I was really talented, I would try and re-create this masterpiece (though we will be lucky if the tree looks halfway decent.) Could you even imagine???
You ask me? WHY SARAH WHY? Why did you paint over the beach mural, waste all that? Well...what fun is a beach for a little girl obsessed with princesses, tutu's, castle's and fairy godmothers? Yes...what fun?

In my searching, I came across more fabulous ideas than I knew what to do with! There are some extremely creative people out there. Could you imagine having room like this:
No matter that the brightness of that green would give me a headache....too cool.
And I fell in love with this lady and her creative ladder:

Other then my search for tree's for the girl's room, I try here and there to find myself a "family tree"...and this would be perfect, with attached pictures of ancestors and all....
Swoon...
Of course, I put myself on a deadline for painting this wall, too. I would like to have it DONE by the time family visits next weekend. But that seems a bit much....as always, I leave it all to the last minute! So, it looks like when my MOM GETS TO VISIT (in 13 days, 3 hours, 27 minutes and 34 seconds) she may be put to the task of helping me complete my project!
