Swoon Interiors

interiors that make your heart skip a beat.

Mural, Mural on the Wall

Are you looking to have a mural painted … perhaps for a nursery, kids’ room or playroom? Well then you must meet Adela.

She is an amazing artist and has her own company, Global Murals. Here she is painting a large Swoon logo at Kristy’s house, above her workspace.

And the finished look …
But this is only the tip of the iceberg of what she can do … check out her website globalmurals.com to see some of her other amazing masterpieces. Her animals and sea life murals are incredible and she can do any type of faux finish under the sun. She is currently being commissioned by the city of Naperville and is working on a fabulous textured brick entryway for one of Kristy’s clients’ son’s room.
You can contact Adela Vystejnova at 847.275.9947. 

Scene Stealers ….

I’ve been noticing a trend on recent magazine covers and in other dramatic living spaces …

I’m kind of loving these historical murals and the way they add drama and depth to a room. Maybe it’s because I’m somewhat of a history buff and always love a good historical novel … these places seem to take you away to another place in time.

Of course, a hand-painted wall would be spectacular, and there are certainly some beautiful wallpapers out there to give you this same effect … but they are fairly pricey.

I was kind of excited to see that Anthropologie has a version that I think would make a lovely yet neutral backdrop. I’d love to see a bright yellow chair or chaise against this wall or maybe some aqua dining chairs.
