Today was mural hanging day! This thing was no joke. We tried it once a few days ago, but it didn’t go well because unlike regular vinyl wallpaper, it is truly PAPER and so it acts differently when it gets the paste on it. Lots of stretching and expanding. The instructions were…kinda helpful, but there is a lot more they could have included to let us know what to expect in the hanging process. So first attempt down, second mural ordered (thank you NanaGrampy for getting both) and here we are more experienced and ready to get it done. It really did take 4 people to get the darn thing up, but it looks SO AWESOME. I have never seen anything like it! Here’s where we got it: http://www.amazon.com/Environmental-Graphics-GATHERING-PLACE-MURAL/dp/B0012VL8QG
For the love of Pete, if you ever happen to get this or something like it that is more paper-ish than vinyl and haven’t hung one before, send me an email first for some tips!
first two panels…
third and fourth panels…
put up some more border…
and here is the little man in front of the whole wall! There were still some fit and finish things to do in this pic, namely trimming the excess off of all four sides. Nana did ALL of that work while Chris and I were out for a date night!
When Aaron’s room is all done, this is the wall where his bed will go. Looks pretty awesome, right????
