And it belongs on the newest wall mural up in Founders Hall at Southwest Minnesota State University, co-designed, printed & installed by Lifewall (that's us)! It's over 25 feet long and over 6 feet tall, making it the second largest mural we've done (the number one spot belongs to Acapulco Mexican Restaurant at 40 feet long, 9 feet tall).
What's even more exciting is that we did it early in the morning on day 2 of the home show in Marshall. We eat, breath, and sweat this stuff, really.
Here are some progressive shots from the event:
The wall was perfect for this project - painted, smooth, clean. Applying the wall mural was rather therapeutic because it went up so well.
This is before we double cut the seams, so you can see where the panels piece together. They became virtually unnoticeable once we cut them.
Getting the text to match up perfect was probably the most difficult part of installing the mural. It wasn't THAT difficult, but if we had to pick something, that'd be it. Nevertheless, we got it perfect and it looks great.
Overall, the project was so incredibly smooth. All the panels (six total) were up in just around an hour, which left us some time for trimming & double cutting the edges. Of course, it's printed on StickIt, our peel & stick wall material, so we're confident it'll deliver. We've used it for all of our big wall projects thus far. Also, we put our liquid laminate on the material for some added durability & UV resistance. Just like always, it dried clear, and you can't notice it's even on there.
If you're remotely near SMSU and want to check it out, stop by Founders Hall. I'm sure nobody will mind. In fact, maybe invite a bunch of your friends, form yourselves into a gigantic crowd, and sort of mush yourselves through the building.
I say 'maybe' because 'maybe' that's not a good idea. Regardless, if you're ever nearby, check it out.
