Ella's Nest

Well... it has been 12 months and I can finally say that Ella's room has a mural installed. One of our major sad points of leaving ATL was the loss of Ella's nursery. We loved her nursery in ATL! So, we move to Birmingham.. and I have all intentions of doing a mural for Ella right away. As one should guess... that doesn't happen. We find a new surprise on the way... Hudson! Hudson gave me yet another new project.. his nursery... which pushes Ella's room to the end of the list. Now.... I can actually say that Ella's room is complete! Ella loves birds. We found some awesome bird bedding from Potterybarn Kids. For inspiration I took the birds from the bedding and drew them in various forms on the walls. One of the major restrictions in doing the room was the collage of pictures that were hanging over Ella's bed. I decided to create a tree for the pictures to hang upon. I then took some of the bird forms and drew them in a way that looked as if the birds were delivering the pictures to the tree. So, there are birds flying around the room with pictures waiting to be delivered. Needless to say.. Ella loves the room. She now has her own little "nest".
