I've been looking around for a vinyl cutout of a tree for the wall behind the crib. After scouring Etsy and seeing the prices for the size/style I wanted, I started to rethink my idea. What can I say, I'm a cheapskate. But I still really wanted one...that's when the wheels started turning and I decided to paint my own. I know, it's crazy. I am NOT an artist and have no painting or drawing skills, but I had a pencil and the paint, so I went to town.
The room still isn't entirely finished, but the wall mural is. I'm sure the vinyl would have looked better, but this cost me a whopping $2.99 (had to buy a paint brush) and it's filled with love. :) Another item checked off my list!

Holy crap. That looks amazing. I am totally impressed. Good job, you cheapskate.
Way cute - and it's hand-done, so it will be more appreciated. Good luck the next few weeks!!
Wow! That's super cute! I can't believe you drew and painted that yourself! Great job! I never would have guessed. I am impressed!
That is beautiful, Marie!
This is lovely! I hadn't checked your blog for a long time (you also hadn't posted for a long time. . . :) and it was fun to see these darling photos! Only 10 days to go!!
Hand made specialness is the best gift a mom can give! I'm sure she will feel cozy and safe every time she looks at her tree, with it's cheerful little family of birds watching over her. I love it! Good luck with the delivery...I can't wait to meet her!
Freak! That is so cute! Thinking of you. Amelia was born on July 8, so I totally feel your pain!
