So my wife is expecting our first child (a little girl - just a couple weeks to go!) and I wanted to do something really nice to decorate her room. We love nature and wanted to incorporate it into the room. I have seen a ton of trees painted on the walls or tree decals and thought I'd come up with something a bit more creative. Here is the result.
3 layers - oak base, walnut and maple for highlights. Leaves were cut out and then I carved the edges a bit and stained them green on one side and "autumn" on the other. They are held in place with bamboo skewers wrapped in florist tape (still need to touch up some of the spots). We can now rotate the leaves to either green (spring/summer) or multicolor for Autumn.
I think this is probably the best thing I've built in a while. I'm already thinking of things I can add to it Next on the list is to create some sort of sun/moon wall hanging on the opposite wall which will display the sun or moon depending on if the light is on or off. When off, it'll have a soft moon glow for a nightlight. I haven't quite worked out the details yet
