Our one splurge in the babies' nursery is going to be a wall mural of the picture above (it's shown here in two pics cause it's scanned from two pages of a book).
This is from a classic Pooh book that belonged to me as a child (can't believe I still have it!). It's going to be painted just above the tops of the cribs along two walls of the nursery. The characters will be about 14 inches high, each. The trees will be in the corner between the two walls.
We found an artist through our multiples birth and parenting class. Turns out the mom of one of the other multiple moms does a lot of this kind of work. The artist -- Cheryl - came over a couple weeks ago and showed me pictures of some of her previous work and gave me an estimate. She starts work on it this coming Wednesday!
This is really the only splurge we're going to have in the nursery. The cribs and changing table are used and we're getting my mom's old wooden rocking chair (yes, she rocked me and my brother in it!).
