Black in a Baby Nursery?
I would never think to include any form of black in a baby nursery except for maybe the furniture. But I came across these awesome and creative nursery designs that I just HAVE to share! This first one is pretty wild right? Black and white stripes in a babies room - wow! I found this one on Design Dazzle. ____________________________________________________________________ This baby nursery has a painted black cityscape and they combined the dark with white furniture.

Hospital Murals – Under the Sea Theme
www.austintexasartist.com I have yet to paint a mural in a hospital, but have always wanted to. I have seen lots of murals done in hospitals that I have gone to and I especially love to see murals in the pediatric departments or children's hospitals. I think a hand painted wall mural in a children's hospital is so special. I cannot imagine the struggles that some children go through with numerous illnesses, some even life threatening. And what better way to take your mind off of the pain than to let your imagination get lost in a beautiful wall mural. Over the next few ...
