With the baby on the way, I obviously wanna create a Disney decor for the little rugrat. Now, instead of characters, I wanted to go for a WDW theme. I remember some time ago, someone posted pics of their baby's nursery here, it was Lion King themed. My question is: you guys know any sites on the web where I can get some inspiration, or maybe a nice WDW picture or spread that I could use as a model? You know, like the 2000 mug, that would make a great mural, but it's too crowded with all the characters and all. So maybe something along the lines of the "4 parks, 1 World" products?

Good luck on this. Unless you're an artist or can hire an artist, you'll be hard pressed to find such products ready-made. My SIL wanted to do something like this and finally gave up and did the princess theme in her 8th month. Good thing, since the baby was 3 weeks early... I hope it works out for you. Keep us posted!!!

Yeah, the wife knows someone who knows someone. So here's hoping I don't get a mutated Castle of some sorte... :lol:We'd NEVER find out anything "official" or ready-made down here, and if we did we 'd have to sell the house in order to get it. :rolleyes:

Ah! If you follow the links, and look around, http://www.jacksonfamilyhomepage.com/gallery/MovingIn you can find some pictures of the Lion King mural. I don't know if there are any pictures of the whole mural or if those are the original pictures from the thread.

You could also try: www.jacksonfamilyhomepage.com go to the photo galleries, and look around.

Home Depot has a selection of Disney themed wall stencils and wall stickers, along with the Disney paint colors. A neat trick for doing a mural is to print an image on transparency paper and then use an overhead projector to enlarge it to your desired size on the wall. Then just trace the image on the wall and color it in with paint!

I just realized you live in Rio de Janeiro. Do they have Home Depot there? What kind of image are you looking for? Do they have a Disney store? You might be able to lift an image from some of the products there. Also you could try the online Disney stores to order some artwork or product that might have some good images. You could also possibly get some artwork by "freeze-framing" a DVD and photographing the image.

Thank ya...well, we'll see. My friend wants 1 of 2 things for her baby's room.
(She doesn't find out what it is until September)

If it's a girl she wants a Disney Princess theme
If it's a boy, she wants me to paint Fenway Park on the wall...as if you're standing at home plate.

Thanks, I have a couple lined up to do...

Actually, my friend just started a remodeling business and he's been tossing my name around for me. I'd like to do it on the side for now.

They also have a series of interior doors. Mickey, Pooh, and Nemo.

Years ago, I think it was a commercial for paint or something, but they showed a room starting from the corner that you walked in from, that was hardwood (had to be for the effect). On the floor was a baseball diamond, bases, lines, dirt, green around that, then an outfield (all on the floor). Then, two walls had wood wainscoting (outfield fence), two flag poles were painted in the two 'end' corners. Then the crowd was there behind the fence (not clear faces, just lots of different 'people')

Just an idea for you!

:D Good for you, Bri! It's a fun job and I know you can do really well at it. I wouldn't want to do anything else!
