We just LOVE LOVE LOVE customers who share their murals with us like this!<\/p>\n<p>Now, to be honest, Steve&#8217;s installation is considerably more complex than those of most of our customers. Steve tells us:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We had an old, rustic wooden window frame with a wrought iron design.\u00a0 We wanted to frame a piece of art under it and place it on the wall within a 4-inch deep niche in our entry hallway.\u00a0 After reviewing literally hundreds of pieces of art on-line we settled on your &#8220;Mission Vineyard&#8221; with a custom size that would correlate with the size of our frame.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Steve&#8217;s photos below show his 5 phases of this very unique installation:<\/p>\n<div>1. Initial alignment on the wall<\/div>\n<div>2. Mural installation on the wall<\/div>\n<div>3. Sub-frame installation<\/div>\n<div>4. Window frame installation<\/div>\n<div>5. Final<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>While many of you will not have an ornate, 3-paneled frame with wrought iron inserts to enhance your mural, you can see in picture 3 that just using some framing lumber creates an excellent finish for our large art prints that aren&#8217;t quite full-sized wall murals. And &#8211; don&#8217;t tell the picture framing shops this &#8211; you can do it at a fraction of the price of a custom picture frame.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5018\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5018\" style=\"width: 169px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5018 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Initial-Alignment-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"Steve used masking tape to mark the center &amp; edges of his Magic Mural installation.\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Initial-Alignment-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Initial-Alignment-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Initial-Alignment.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5018\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steve used masking tape to mark the center &amp; edges of his Magic Mural installation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5019\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5019\" style=\"width: 169px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5019 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Mural-Installation-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"The self-adhesive, peel-n-stick Magic Mural is installed just like wallpaper.\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Mural-Installation-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Mural-Installation-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Mural-Installation.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5019\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The self-adhesive, peel-n-stick Magic Mural is installed just like wallpaper.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5020\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5020\" style=\"width: 169px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5020 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Sub-frame-Install-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"A wooden frame gives this wallpaper wall mural a finished look.\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Sub-frame-Install-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Sub-frame-Install-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Sub-frame-Install.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5020\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A wooden frame gives this wallpaper wall mural a finished look.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5021\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5021\" style=\"width: 576px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5021 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Frame-Install-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"But Steve's not done... he bought this mural specifically for a special window frame he already had.\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Frame-Install.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Frame-Install-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Frame-Install-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Frame-Install-576x1024-280x497.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Frame-Install-576x1024-978x1738.jpg 978w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Frame-Install-576x1024-306x544.jpg 306w, https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Frame-Install-576x1024-250x444.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5021\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">But Steve&#8217;s not done&#8230;\u00a0this mural was custom-sized to fit a very special frame.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5022\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5022\" style=\"width: 576px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5022 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.magicmurals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Final-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Tah-Dah!
