It pretty much took all day. I painted a sailboat scene once in a walk-in closet, or as they’re called in San Francisco, a child’s bedroom. It pretty much took all day.

I'm hanging that on the wall behind my computer. It's a little more appropriate there. Forget my kids room. I’m hanging that on the wall behind my computer.

That said, they handily include the 'swatches'.. aka a printable thumbnail of the original design. If one was so inclined, and had access to an art supplies shop and a printer, a cheaper version might be forthcoming :) Also: A HUNDRED AND SIXTY DOLLARS!

I could make something similar for $30 or less. More work, sure, but A HUNDRED AND SIXTY FREAKIN' DOLLARS?! I like the anchor pillow, too. The price was my first (horrified) reaction, too.

Loose oars in a kid's room (at least in a room for a kid young enough to have an anchor pillow and wall stickers of a preschool-looking pirate ship)? Next to a mirror? Methinks a trip to the ship's leech will soon be in order, yarr. The parent in me cries foul at this.

Maybe they're glued or screwed the the wall. Maybe the mirror is polycarbonate. Also, I'm definitely not a kid, but I'd love to have that pirate ship on my wall. I'm not keen on the anchor pillow, though. Ehh, who knows if the oars are loose? Maybe they’re glued or screwed the the wall. Maybe the mirror is polycarbonate.

And that blue tape that you need to mask the shapes without ripping off the base coat? $6 per roll. I thought that I was the only one who’s noticed that paint prices have quadrupled in a decade.
