Makeover with a Wall Mural

Today I wanted to show you a wall mural.  This is not my home but a relative's home I visit at Christmas.  This image above is the before.  What you are looking at is a dining room and the top of the wall was a suede color and the bottom was faux painted a cordovan color to look like leather.   They have recently repainted the walls and had an artist paint a mural all around the dining room.

The bottom has been given texture by being rag rolled and the dry brushed with the caramel color over the turquoise.  Above the chair rail the caramel has been brushed on the turquoise heavier to cover more of that color and to depict a forest.  Then above the tree mural the turquoise is allowed to show through to portray the sky.  The entire mural was pressed with cheesecloth when the painting was finished to give it the texture of a tapestry.

They artist has taken into account the furniture and painted around the placement of it.  Also, they painted right into the air intake vent, not to disturb the tree's form.

Careful consideration is given to the placement of the art that is hanging so that the art on the wall mural will compliment it.

Isn't this tree in the corner cute.   I love the colors chosen for this mural they flow perfectly with the furniture and the other art in the room.
