P is for Pony!

My daughter takes horse riding lessons at her school and she Loves ponies so when it was time to give her nursery to baby sister I knew her big girl room had to be with a pony theme! After trying several greens I finally found the right ones!

I first drew with a light pencil the way I wanted my hills to be. I like things symmetrical so I started with the two outer hills and measured up the same height on both sides. Then drew in the center hill.
I painted the sky first trying to stay right along the lines of the hills drawn on the wall. I used a very small brush for this and a larger roller for other areas. I waited until the sky was completely dry to start on the green hills, otherwise the two colors might bleed together. Once I finished the hills I had my husband make a fence out of wood we had painted white. It's very easy to do with the right tools. I found a few Pony cut outs at Michaels craft store & I painted them, put a dot of hot glue on the back and stuck them on! It was very easy just time consuming. My daughter LOVES her big girl room now!
