[quote=Anonymous]Is she artistic? Can she paint?  Not just with a roller, but PAINT?

I am quite artistic.  I have painted some accents on my kids' walls that have turned out beautifully.  I would never attempt a full wall mural, even though I can indeed draw and paint well.

It takes a lot of skill to get the proportions right when you are painting on a large scale on a wall.  And to do something as familiar as Disney characters, large scale, on a wall?  Do you or your husband really want your daughter's nursery to look like it was painted by that Italian grandma who decided to "restore" that centuries old fresco in her local church with a bunch of acrylics? I think not.

Just say no. Firmy. Insist your husband does too (and not in the wussy apologetic I am sorry but my wife is making me way).

Then, suggest she puts together a nursery in HER house for when you come to visit, where Larla can look forward to seeing her special mural at grandma's house.

A homemade attempt at a Disney character mural coupled with old furniture from yard sales? No, and no. Get your husband on board and cut off your MIL's cable so she quits watching so much hgtv :) [/quote]
