The article "HOW TO PURCHASE A MURAL ONLINE FOR YOUR CHILD" is about family, it was created by Rachel Goldstein.
So you're thinking of hvaing a mural installed or painted in
your child's room? What a perfect addition to your little one's
room. A mrual is a beautiful gift to give to any child.
I have a
mural in each of my 3 children's bedromos and I can't tell you
how much joy it has brought to them over the years. If you could
only see the look on little kids' eyes when they see my
children's rooms. There are several opitons open for you online.
Lets take a look:
CANVAS
Canvas is my favorite option. The muralist can work off premises
and paint a beautiful csutom mural without ever entering your
home. The best part is that the mural can be rmeoved and saved
for other babies in your family or to take with you when you
move. The mural can be adhered to your wall with heavy wallpaper
paste, and once attached to the wall it appears as if it was
painted dierctly on the wall surface. Here is one artist who
paints on canvas:
AllKidsMurals.Com - http://www.Allkidsmurals.Com/ - All Kids
Murals specializes in custom child murals, and starting at $500
per wall, this is the cheapest around.
PAINT BY NUMBER MURALS AND KITS

detail lveel of a custom painted mural is not available but
there are nice designs that I guess your child will love:

WALLPAPER
Wallpaper is the most inexpensive option, but it is also the
least creative. However, there are options out three that
are pretty nice. Take a look at the below sites:

port holes, dolphins, dinosaurs and much more!

MURALISTS IN YOUR AREA
If you would prefer to have a custom mural painted directly on
your wall, you would be better off with a local artist. You can
look for a local atrist in many ways via the web.
1. Search Engines - Search engines, especially Google.Com, do a
search for 'muralists NJ' or whatever state you live in. You
might also try searhces like - 'kids murals NJ', 'Children's
murals NJ', etc.
2.
Yellow Pages Online - http://yellowpages.Superpages.Com/ - Do
a search for 'murals' and enter your state name.
3.
Faux Directory - http://www.Fauxdirectory.Com/ - A listing of
Faux artists and muralists
So how are you supposed to know which muralist is right for you
and your family?
As with any employer, you will want to ask a
lot of qeustions before signing any contracts.
1. Make sure you take a look at the artists' portfoilo. Do the
samples match your tastes?
2.
What is the cost? Have you compared the cost to other
artists?
3. How long is is going to take the artist?
4. Does the artist have positive testimonials from other
clients?
5. Does the artist provide a sketch for you before making you
sign a contract?
6.
What quality paint will the atrist be using?
7. Does the artsit seem to have a personality that's pleasant
and matches you and your family?
Having a mural installed can help brighten up your child's
youth. Make sure that you get your money's wotrh.
Good luck!
