Feb 6, 2018

This was an office we never used. So it is going to become our art room.

Hubby tock out all the carpet flooring in this room, the landing and our bedroom for new flooring we are having put in. So this is prefect opportunity to do a mural. Hmm what to do with the walls oh yeah there is this youtube video I think is amazing.

This is the youtube video i was talking about and I wanted to see what I can do along this line but also add my own style to it.

Youtube: Harry Potter Time Lapse by Kyle Hallstrom. A must watch...

*The paint's will be Americana Decor Chalky Finish from Michaels

Where else to start than the Hogwarts Castle. I did not want to miss up this Iconic structure being a potter fan. So I using a projector to project the image on to the wall. I was able trace the outline of the castle and the windows.
