When the church said they wanted to create a "Tree House" set for their Childrens' Ministry, I was excited. Doing "kid stuff" remains my favorite. The tree itself was painted on the cinder block wall by Jorge Rodriguez; the fort on the left was built and painted by the Childrens' Ministry staff. The three canvas backdrops that formed the balance of the set were painted by BT Redhill Designs.
Notice the ladder coming from the floor, the nail heads on each sheet of "found" wood, and the wood planks that appear to sorta hold things together. The idea was to create the impression that it was built by kids for kids. The graffiti was personalized to some of those that would get to enjoy the set. Notice how the tree is actually painted into the canvas to transition from one media to another. More importantly, note that the canvas and the block were done by different people at different times in the course of six days.
Now, imagine your child's room taking on a similar feel.
