I just received this book yesterday, and I am so pleased! I paint murals for part of my living too, and I thought this book might provide more ideas. Well, Ms. Whitaker's ideas are so inspirational, and I loved her artwork as well. Although I have already painted a number of murals for children's rooms, this book contained some great tips and techniques that I have not tried. All in all, it was well worth the money to me.

What a great book! I haven't done any murals yet, but plan to within the month. I imagine it will be relatively easy to do with the guidance of this book. It has great mural ideas, detailed supply lists and recommendations, and it shows how to do some of the smallers elements of each mural step by step. I feel much more confident going into mural painting with this book.

I really like this book. I wish that it shows how to measure/ create something with symmetry (curvy cast iron fences). Great idea for really good price.
