For what is now our nursery, I wanted to do something fun on the walls to reflect my obvious love of reading. We have very large vaulted ceilings and plenty of room for creativity. It looks probably a little chaotic, but it was a lot of fun and people who visit just love this room. 

 Essentially, I pulled inspiration from my favorite childhood book characters and used what images I could find. The Harry Potter and Wizard of Oz characters were pictures from the original book; wheras characters like Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland were Disney versions because that is what I had access to. 

 In order to paint these walls which were over 13 feet tall, I used a projector and laptop and projected the images onto the wall. Thanks to a great friend's suggestion, I outlined each of the characters (and specific features) with a Sharpie marker. You could also use chalk as that erases quickly from walls, but I was workign on a large scale and the marker saved me major time!

 For several days, I stood outlining on a ladder and then after that was finished, I began painting. Surprisingly to me, regular acrylic paint works perfectly on walls and gives you a lot of freedom with colors. Another tip from my painter friend. At the end of the project, I went back and re-outlined the characters and needed lines with a Sharpie again. It made a huge difference having the characters outlined.
