Directions

Find your design. I made my own design that you can feel free to use, but really you can use ANY design.

Project your design onto the wall and trace it with a pencil. If you don’t have a projector, borrow one or consider purchasing onethey make for the best movie nights!

Go over your pencil lines with paint! I used a large paintbrush on the entire design so that my lines were always the same width.

Touch up any spots that need it.

That’s it! So simple and such a HUGE impact!

While I had a million ideas of how to fill this big wall above our coffee bar, I found inspiration photos and showed five options to my family. They didn’t really get excited about any of them, so I mumbled that I wanted to paint flowers on the wall, but that I would never actually do that because we weren’t planning on staying in this house for long. My family all immediately told me to paint the flowers! They convinced me that painting was better than putting holes in the wall – so I went for it and I’m so happy that I did!

This is your sign to paint the flowers if they make you happy –just make your home a place that you love. You can always paint over it!

Hopefully this will convince you that you DON’T need artistic talent to paint a mural! Why? Because you can use a projector!

P.S. This mural only took me two hours to paint!
