First Nursery Mural
Murals are funny because people often immediately picture giant statement pieces. Bold colors. Dramatic walls. Dynamic movement. Something loud and engaging enough to stop you in your tracks. But (and maybe this is the introvert in me) some of my favorite projects are actually the quieter ones. My first ever nursery mural was designed back in 2022/2023 for my niece (and in-laws) who wanted the room to feel soft, peaceful, playful, and deeply personal; something that could evolve alongside this sweet girl as she grew from nursery years into childhood and beyond. Instead of creating one large focal mural, we leaned into something that almost felt like painted wallpaper: tiny hand-painted florals that felt whimsical, timeless, and intentionally subtle. What can I say? She’s very demure, lol.
A Landscape Nursery Mural
It’s wild how this nursery mural project from roughly a year ago blended all those possibilities. I was commissioned to create a nursery mural that tied together three cherished landscapes for new parents Candace and Kevin: Lake Tahoe, Siesta Key, and Kansas sunflower fields. Each of these places holds special meaning to them, and they wanted their daughter to grow up surrounded by the love and memories these locations represent.
This project wasn’t just one mural—it was three interconnected murals in one room. My goal was to make them cohesive while keeping each scene distinct. It was both exciting and a little nerve-wracking to take on something so large-scale, but the result? Worth every second.
Mural: Carter Family Nursery
Y’all, I love a nursery mural moment - especially one that involves cute critters. From the moment the Carters said they wanted a woodland-inspired nursery, I knew it was going to be so good! Follow along and check out some of the process and the behind-the-scenes of this sweet nursery mural!
