Mural
In December, my nanny family hired me to help them with a mural they had been planning for Rishi’s (the boy I nanny for) new big boy room. I had previously helped them paint a One Fish, Two Fish mural in Rishi’s bathroom and it was a lot of fun, very simple. His big boy room was to be a lot more extensive! The mom designed it all from the book, and loosely sketched it out using a projector she had borrowed from the school she works in and I got to work blocking it all in. It took a couple weeks over many hours of work and it was finally done! Rishi’s mom helped with some of the outlining as well and she did a great job.
Here’s the original bathroom painting I did. just simple waves in the style of the shower curtain:

For Rishi’s new bedroom, they continued the Dr. Seuss theme and chose scenes from Oh, The Places You’ll Go! Here’s a shot of most of it, that bed is just a guest bed that’s in there for now. Rishi hasn’t switched rooms yet:

for the part by the door, they’re going to paint on numbers and turn it into a growth chart that Rishi can mark his height on as he gets bigger.
