I haven't cross stitched in years, even with its resurgence in popularity, and I've never painted a mural (thankfully for those who live with me). That said, I've fallen for this gorgeous cross stitch mural in the bedroom of designer Eline Pellinkhof. And I'm not the only one — after her house was featured on Bloesem Living, Pellinkhof received so many positive comments about the mural that she's now developing a kit.
The mural draws on the popularity of both cross stitch and wall decals, while also looking pretty and timeless. I especially like that it's in a bedroom — it seems cozy and thoughtful. While the rose pattern was inspired by one of Pellinkhof's pillows, I'm sure that artsy muralists out there can find other inspiration to create a unique mural in their own homes.
To see the entire house tour, visit Bloesem Living.

That's beautiful.
Between this post, the pink-in-the-bedroom post, and a living room that's just been driving me mad, we may now have a direction to follow.
I saw this on Bloesem and thought it was awesome! I'm so glad she's coming up with a kit--good for her for finding a market for this great, unique idea.
This is brilliant!
Sweet! Just think of the possibilities (NSFW).
I'm not sure about this on the wall... but the design and idea is awesome as an oversized print somewhere else like the bedding, or artwork or upholstery.
I've been thinking about something similar for a rug for the past few months. Good to see it done well. Makes my decision concrete. ^_^
Interesting idea, but very Grandma/sickeningly sweet (although I realize it doesn't have to be). Not a design idea I'll be copying.
this is the best idea ever!

Awesome, awesome, awesome!
I really like the idea of combining the idea of a cross stitch design with the size of a mural. I really works well, and I am interested in adding your post to my site www.themuralchic.com. Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in.
Thanks.
