Welcome to Outer Space – Video

Experience how it feels to walk into a room with a space mural painted on the ceiling and walls. I had the pleasure of custom painting an outer space bedroom for Oliver.

Decorating an outer space themed room can be done in a variety of ways.

 

This is what my clients asked me to paint:

  • A ceiling mural of outer space to compliment Oliver’s space bedding.
  • Paint a giant sun onto the center of the ceiling. We’ll hang a light fixture in the middle of the sun when you are finished.
  • We don’t need you to paint any planets since we purchased planet decor and will be hanging them from the ceiling.
  • But we definitely want lots of stars painted – and not just dots. We had a mural painted in our previous home and the muralist only painted dots. We want all different sized stars.
  • Glow in the dark paint would be cool, too.

I asked what some of Oliver’s favorite space things were, and was told he liked Darth Vader and Minions – but that they weren’t too into characters.

When I asked Oliver if he would like a rocket ship, an astronaut or a spaceship with a silly alien in it, he said yes.

Basically, they said for me to just go for it and to use my judgment. And they trusted me to paint the mural while they went out of town for a few days.

Here is the video of the outer space mural I painted in Oliver’s bedroom.

 

It turned out colorful, fun, and full of stars.

I painted a rocket ship, an astronaut, a spaceship, an alien, floating minions, a giant sun, 3-star constellations – Big Dipper, Cassiopeia, and Oliver’s name. There were also lots of stars and shooting stars.

The finishing touch was adding glow in the dark paint over some of the stars.

This space painted ceiling and walls turned out really cool. And I incorporated all the elements my clients had asked for.
