Well, Debby & her kids went to this cool vacation spot last Fall ...
http://www.treehouses.com/index.cfm
Check it out. It looks absolutely amazing & they had a blast. There are zip lines & running water & claw foot bathtubs & bridges between trees.  Annnnnnd ... they made some tie-dye t-shirts while they were there.
.
So Debby came back all obsessed with figuring out how to paint that on a wall, because we have been running various teen ideas around in our heads lately, and this seemed like a good one. Her upstairs walls have been turned into our Mess Around With Ideas zone. And this is another one of those decorative paint methods that lands somewhere between a mural and a faux finish.
As you can see from the first pic - that's a big spiral. And its a great method for getting some wild color on a feature wall, completely customizable, and we reckon we can do regular wall in about a day ... so it's an affordable option, too!  Yippee!
