Looking for Muralist for Kids' Bedroom and Playroom - Western Suburbs Chicago

Hi D....looks like you've received a lot of good responses!

I have been running a mural business (whirleygirl designs) specializing in childrens spaces for 8 years. You can see a bit of my work at my website http://www.whirleygirl.com or feel free to call me at ###-###-#### to discuss and set up a free consulatation (it's a chance to look at the spaces, talk about ideas, and for you to see my full portfolio).

I am listed here on Mamasource as well(with a few client reviews :) )

No matter what artist you go with, your children will love having such fun and imaginative rooms!

My Mother happens to be an amazing artist...and probably less expensive than most. She painted an under the sea mural in my son's room, and it looks almost real! You can visit her blog at www.nancyvosspaints.blogspot.com Feel free to email me if you are interested in speaking with her! ____@____.com

Hi! A friend of mine has started her own side business painting murals and other things. I know she has a website with pics, but for the life of me cannot remember what I did with the address. Her name is Virginia, her email address is ____@____.com

If you contact her she'd be able to at least direct you to the site to see if you're interested. Good luck, hope whatever ever you do comes out beautiful!

Hi D.,
I've used Trish Page before to do face painting at my son's birthday parties but I also know that she does murals (we live in Naperville and she has traveled out to us). Here's her website http://www.trishpage.com/. She is really nice, easy to get along with etc. I'm sure she'd be good to work with on a project like that.

Hi D..

I highly recommend you check out www.mysticodesings.com
The woman's name is Kris. She is fabulous. She has done my twins nursery (toile scense) w/ wooden canopies hand painted over eahc bed, painted toy boxes at the foot...and more My sons bedroom 9 with a steam engine train coming up over his bed..all painted from books of real trains I showed her The kids bathroom - a full, adorable jungle scene. She does kids murals, faux finishes, furniture painting, and more. She is a true artist and wonderful to work with. I have never had anyone not love working with her and her work.

I hope that helps.

Hi! My mother-in-law is an awesome painter. She doesn't do it professionally, but she did our nursery and has painted us several paintings. She is currently taking care of her elderly father so is kind of busy, but if you are looking for someone inexpensive, I can email you pictures of our nursery and other paintings we have of hers.

Hi - We had a great woman who did our nursery. She has moved out of state now, but she highly recommends her friend Jenna. You can reach her at ###-###-####. Tell her that Katie refered you. Good luck!

Hi D.,
We live in the western suburbs too (Bartlett) and my husband does excellent work. Do you have an idea for content already? What are the wall sizes and your timeframe?
I don't think I can attach pictures through this email, but let me what you're looking for and I can email you separately with some examples.

Hi D.,
My friend is a professional artist as well as a muralist. http://www.bridgetmantasoot.com/murals.html

She does amazing children's art and murals and is reasonably priced. I highly recommend you check her out. She is also located in the western suburbs.

Thanks,
T.

Morning D.! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend the muralist who just helped us with our house. She is AWESOME and reasonably priced. Made a big difference in the way our Northwoods basement motif turned out. I also saw what she did in several of the local schools and a nursery. Her name is Shelly Van Gilse and she lives in Batavia. She is a mom too who is extremely talented and just recently started up a business. Her number is in the book. Good luck!

Go to www.artbyjoseph.com. Joe did an awesome mural in my son's room.
