Although these empowering words were painted on a wall in a baby’s room, it could just as easily be painted in an older child, or teen bedroom. Words can motivate, inspire and empower us at any age.
By viewing words regularly, we can absorb their meaning both consciously and subconsciously. This Mama wanted her daughter to absorb good things. Lucky baby!
How do you incorporate empowering words into a wall mural?
Here is one way to paint words onto a wall.
My client wanted the words “I AM” to be painted very large and onto the center of one wall. She also wanted 50 more words painted. One of them, was her daughter’s name, Grace.
The idea is that she wants her daughter to grow up reading all of these meaningful words and to know that she is all of these things. By reading and saying, “I am grace. I am beauty. I am happy….” these attributes would become instilled into her being.
The baby room bedding was the inspiration for this mural. It was full of pretty colored words. So we painted the wall words in colors that matched this bedding.
Here is a picture of the bedding.
And here are the paint colors I hand-mixed, to match the bedding.
This image also shows my layout for the words.
Now that we had our master plan, I sketched all the carefully chosen words onto the wall, in 4 different fonts. Then I hand-painted the words onto the wall.
This video shows empowering words hand-painted onto a wall.
The blue tape on the wall in the video was to mark off where wall sconces will be hung. We wanted to make sure there would be enough space to hang the custom light fixtures without covering any words.
I really like to think out each space with my clients, before beginning, so we have the best layout possible.
Do you like the the idea of painting words on the wall? I love it. And as I painted each word, it felt like I was wishing blessings for this sweet little girl.
Positive words can uplift our spirits. They can also infuse us with confidence. Apparently they can decorate, too!
After painting Grace’s mural I felt inspired to create some word-art of my own.

I love writing meaningful things. So I also created some empowering quotes about things that I wanted to remember everyday.
A recent client even asked if I’d paint a few of my original quotes, on the walls of her office. A win-win!
If you live in the Los Angeles area, I could paint words on a wall of your home or business.
