Ok, time for a little bit of Friday fun here. There are some really strange rooms out there people, but I'm not pointing any fingers. Hey, I sell wall murals for a living and even I have a few neglected rooms in my house that would love some attention. Anyhoo, here are a few random photos I found for this post.
So, without further ado, here is "If These Walls Could Talk"
Help! My teenager has exploded....Please go to college, please go to college..
I...have...absolutely...no...personality.
When I grow up, I'm gonna be a home theater!
Channeling my inner Pepto Bismol.
Hope this is just a phase...
Sooo glad I don't have a nose. And my best friend the vacuum cleaner is ready to jump.
I'm not in denial. My owner totally has a handle on his video game "hobby".
Bold colors are totally in, no?
..and last but not least..
I am a fine country kitchen!
Have a great weekend everyone! :)

Cloud Murals Lift the Spirits!
As we head towards winter, the days continue to get shorter and shorter. The early darkness can be cozy at first. But after awhile, most folks start to crave sunlight. I certainly do.
A puffy white cloud mural can be just the thing to lift the spirits out of the winter doldrums. Gazing at this image evokes memories of that time honored summer tradition of laying in the warm grass while looking up.
A simple solution really, but it works. And while not exactly rocket science, you do get a great new look for your room to boot. ;)

Bengal Tiger wall mural
Bengal Tigers in the wild are simply fascinating. Here's a tiger wall mural with an unusual twist-- he's in the snow!
Most people (myself included) automatically associate tigers with Africa, jungles, hot weather, etc. So this snowy scene is really out of the ordinary. And the big guy is looking straight into the photographer's lens.
He is so huge and intimidating, but with that little dusting of snow on his head, you almost want to chuckle. :) Adorable, yes?
A great wall mural at a great price--only $6 per square foot. You pick the size you need, and we'll digitally print your tiger onto high quality wallpaper.
Makes a great Christmas gift, and you'll have him in time for the holidays. Contact us for details.

Tokyo Night Mural for a great city vibe
For a lot of folks, myself included, big cities are where it's at. A modern city vibe is young, fresh, and jam packed with energy. Having grown up in the country, I felt this almost magnetic pull to big cities from my early years. It remains with me today, and I love it.
This wall mural of the Tokyo Night has that sort of magnetic, almost indescribable feel to it that city lovers instinctively understand. If you love the fresh urban scene, you just get it.
The low angle view gives a street perspective, and makes you think you're actually looking up. The mighty skyscrapers are alive with brilliant light.
Using a low shutter speed, the photographer effectively used blur to capture the fast traffic, making the image buzz even more.
This early evening view is ripe with possibilities-- where will it take you? To a fabulous dinner, a hot new club, a regal symphony? Can't you just feel the magic?
Bring the excitement and energy of the city night into your home or office with this very buzzy wall mural. If you're a city lover like me, it will light up your room with beauty and that natural high we crave.

With wall murals, simplicity makes big statements
Choosing wall murals can be a daunting and frustrating process, as there are so many to pick from. Sometimes keeping it very simple can help you make your decision.
Take for example this very simple image of a rusted windmill. You might look at the picture and quickly pass over it, thinking, is that all there is?
If you can pause and give yourself a few moments to really take in the mural, that's when the magic happens.
First, your eye is drawn to the windmill details. As you begin to see the image for what it truly is, you can appreciate the rusty metal, as well as the myriad triangles and circles of the construction.
Next you will find your gaze shifting to the sky. The delicate pink tones of the sky are absolutely sublime, and conjure up fond memories of spun cotton candy.
Aesthetically speaking, the metal texture and angles of the windmill contrasted against the light and airy sky works in a way that is very pleasing to the eye.
Suddenly this very simple wall mural has quite a bit to offer, especially if you favor sky scenes and angles.
Simple murals, or those that appear very basic to the hurried eye, can actually make a very impressive decorating statement. If you rush your mural selection process, you won't see it.
Give yourself pause to consider simple or basic mural choices-- you'll find pleasing subtle details to enhance your favorite room. As a full wall mural, these simple scenes can serve as a uncluttered background to build your room around.
