Painting Your Kids Room with Pictures

by ebarrett 17. April 2010 00:24

It’s funny how your perception changes.  I’ve seen pictures of painted walls before.  But until I wrote a few weeks ago about “what kid wouldn’t want to sleep and play in this room?” I never really paid attention.  But now, of course, I realize that they are everywhere!  It seems that I can’t help but turn around and see a kids room with playfully painted walls (say that three times fast!).

Take, for instance, this great image of a frog playing.

This particular image is in a Cape Cod house.  Now Cape Cod’s tend to feel a little on the small side.  Add the fact that the room itself is only 12x10, and you have a recipe for claustrophobia.  But with the image, and the added sense of depth, it makes the room feel much larger. 

I’m starting to wonder if my parents didn’t hold out on me when I was a kid!

What kid wouldn’t want to sleep and play in this room?

The great thing about Neat Features is that they can be anywhere and be just about anything.  Take this room for example.  We all have walls, but not all of us have jungles!

Even the ceiling gets into the act with some nice blue sky and clouds.  I don’t know about you, but with all the grey snowy long winter we’ve had here in Cincinnati, I think I could live with a nice sky blue ceiling!
