PS. I want to throw in a little tip that I have learned along the way of painting murals all these years. As it relates to nursery murals, you may want to think about choosing a nursery wall mural that will easily transition from infant to toddler years so you can get the most out of your mural value.

Redecorating gets expensive fast and I am all about value! Perhaps think about how you can use your nursery wall mural as a basic foundation and then accessorize it as baby transitions from infant to toddler stage. For instance, choose a nursery wall mural that features a view of the countryside and use decals for characters in your nursery mural to bring your theme into play. As baby transitions from one stage to the next, you can get new decals for a toddler look and feel.
