It is fun, especially if those flowers are typical ones found in that landscape. Is it all imaginary or is the background based on someplace you're familiar with?

Honestly, I don't like it. It's a pretty mural but it feels almost cheesy in a dining space like you have an Italian restaurant in the middle of your home.

Also, I get the feeling that you love flowers, but paring back on them a bit actually gives them more of an impact. Right now it kind of looks like a flower shop.

Very original! To me, if you are shooting for semi-realism--the flowers are not in scale. They seem too large. You also need dots of white to represent other flowers in this blooming field. More flowers that are at different stages of bloom.

What a unique addition to your dining room and very much seems to suit the rest of your decor.

The light switches in the mural bother me and the flowers look enormous. Maybe the top half of the mural (above the light switches) is enough to satisfy your craving for one?

I think if you had sparser, smaller flowers and eliminated all the largish ones in the front it would look better (to me). Maybe have the closest flowers more the size of those in the distance, then put much smaller ones in the distance. I like the mural and wouldn't tire at looking at it - the green is very calming - the white flowers are jarring.

Hopefully, the light switch will be getting a coat of grass before you're finished.

I can't comment on it really until it's done. Currently I don't mind the flowers. The perspective not only a little exaggerated (which is fine), but also a little inconsistent--like you have two different vanishing points for the flowers and for the background. But until it's filled in more, I shouldn't say.

Aha! You posted the update! Much better!

I like it - I think it goes with your furniture, but I also think that it is impossible to judge from photos. This is something that needs to be experienced in person to appreciate it properly.

My brother has done murals, and I had a friend in San Francisco from South Africa who had painted murals in France inside French chateaux, but his were very limited - mostly he did trompe l'oeil scenes, such as a cat stalking a mouse in a kitchen, or something like that in the periphery. My brother painted whole walls.

I like this one better than the sample. Can we see a shot of it in the room with furniture?

Love it! He appears to very talented!

It's only important that you love it!

I'm sorry, but I still don't care for them. The rest of the mural is very nice but these guys look like an army that is advancing on you and will shortly be laying siege to your dining table. However, I believe I'm seeing the beginnings of some purple flowers and that, and perhaps some yellow flowers, will tone down the white army considerably.

Looks like poochie is ready to take a walk down the path!

I prefer murals that are not so literal in appearance. I prefer subject matter a bit magical in appearance so you can get lost in the perspective.

This from Anthropologie.

I like it!

To each his own!! I hope you love it. I think it is very fun and if it fits you and your space PERFECT. Way to be BOLD and go for it!!!

After seeing the Monet-like shading of the flowers I would not put a chair rail in front of the mural. I would suggest including some yellow and purple flowers to make this look more natural. You rarely see large stands of a single variety of flower. The purple flowers can be slender with a few blooms vertically along the stem and the yellow ones perhaps like small daisies, to give a contrast with the large white flowers. If it were me I'd have a rabbit or two hiding among the foliage and some birds flying in the sky. I'd also give the hills in the background a bit of a bluish haze.

What did you end up doing? I agreed with Ingrid: no chair rail, some different flowers mixed in. Your console is enough to sofen the effect. Also I would pare the items on the console to almost nothing, and certainly NO PLANTS. The mural provides all the flora you want on this wall.

I'm sure it is beautiful! Post pics?

Yes, pics please!
