Wall Mural - In the Bleak Midwinter

I took a break from renovating rooms in the February after we moved in.  It was a particularly bad winter.  Very, very cold with a ton of snow.  So we were stuck inside quite a bit (it was just too cold to venture out for long). I needed a project to distract me and bring me joy, so this is what resulted!  I drew inspiration from my favorite illustrator/small business owner Anna Rifle Bond from Rifle Paper Co. I just love all of her stuff and color palette. If my budget were limitless, I would just own everything she ever made.

I used the same color I had in the library/office as the backdrop (Balmy Night) and went to town. It brings me joy each time I see it.

The process wasn't super involved.  I bought three paint sample size cans in red, blue and yellow and mixed the colors myself.  Eventually, once the kids playroom moves to the third story, I want to add some built in shelves on the left side wall, framing the window with a padded bench for seating.  the piano (which we will eventually purchase) will go on this wall, or to the right.  There is a fire place opposite this wall, which I'd love to put a few cozy chairs around and french door to close this room off.  It gets a lot of northern exposure light, just a beautiful room.
