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.

Imagine you’ve just spent the last few months transforming a part of your house. You invested in a new design, furniture, flooring, and more. Construction has finally stopped, the dust is clearing, and as everything settles, you feel like it’s so close, but something is still missing. That was the reality for the Davis family, who found the final thing to bring their new backyard oasis to its full potential was through a backdrop mural.

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!
