Kelly’s House of Murals
Kelly grew up in a house decorated with her mother’s hand-painted murals. Today, in her Del Ray home, she’s continuing the tradition. I stopped by to see these special murals painted by Kelly’s mother (you may remember this house from the Del Ray House & Garden Tour this year, or the previous tour in 2014).
There’s a splendid mural of blue sky and clouds on the ceiling of the front porch.
The other two murals are in the two kids’ rooms. This one pays homage to a children’s book author and illustrator that Kelly loved as a child, Gyo Fujikawa.
Kelly’s mom added Superwoman, one of her daughter’s favorite super heroes, into the design.
Kelly’s son’s room has been transformed into a scene from outer space, complete with flying spaceships. I can only imagine how much he and his sister love their rooms and will grow to appreciate their grandmother’s artistic talent all their lives.
So much fun to see these murals, Kelly, and Lohse! Brings back good memories.
The outer space room is amazing!!
