You be Tarzan, I’ll be Jane
Most of the time, when I have a client request a jungle
theme mural it’s for a small child’s room. But this custom mural project was
for a pre-teen girl. And as we all know, pre-teen girls can be very opinionated
with what they want. No exception here. The wish/want list seemed simple
enough: Jungle look, a monkey in a tree, and make sure there’s purple in the
plants somewhere. Originally the concept was to have jungle trees arching into
a wall where the day bed was to placed.
And that’s how it started, but the jungle grew and grew. By the time it
was all done the ceiling and the upper half of the walls where sky blue, the
lower half of the room was jungle green, dark green carpet was placed on the
floor, a “jungle” border was painted completely around the room- with gorgeous
cascades of purple flowers, bamboo poles served to canopy netting and jungle
vines over the bed and windows, a purple cheetah bedspread covered the daybed,
and two jungle cats sat on the bed guarding this adorable teen style jungle
theme room. I painted a wood dresser
piece to have different animal skins on each section. The end result was a
young ladies dream room.
Tip: To protect the top of the dresser , glass was ordered
cut to fit. The glass protects the zebra skin painting and makes it very easy to
clean-up dust, ink marks, make-up etc.
