World Map Wall Painting

I’m in love with Madison’s World Map Wall Painting! Now that I finished installing the wood floors and all the trim is back in place, I think it looks awesome. I’m tempted to put my office back in here! LOL

Madison Googled “World Map”, found one she liked and we used a projector to trace it. Then we painted it by hand. All three of us spend most of last weekend with little artist brushes on this baby! 🙂

As you can see, there is more in store for this wall. I think, as is, it WOULD be a really cool backdrop for an office. But we’re going to make it a really cool girl’s room.

What else did I cross off my To-Do list for this room? Re-texture, paint, lights, fan, floors, baseboards, door casing and feature wall (mostly).

I just have to decide on window coverings, finish the FUN part of the feature wall and bring in her furniture. Then I’ll have one room in this house COMPLETELY done.

…as opposed to most that are not even started and a couple that are mostly done.

Feeling really good about one COMPLETELY done room after a year in this house. LOL

You get mom of the year points on this one for sure. Love the room and that map idea is wonderful – may put that one in my inspiration file for a future office of my own!

I am really interested to see where you are going with this map. I am anticipating land marks….I can’t wait!

We have horrible textured walls too and I am in the process of skimming them. I just used my hand to smear drywall mud onto the wall, which probably got me to where you are, and then I am going to use a taping knife to put a couple thin layers on. I will sand after each one. Hope that helps.
