Changes to Stella Murals in 2025
It's been a massively busy and successful 14 years of painting at Stella Murals, thank you all so much! I've loved painting art for you all! Since 2011 I've painted thousands of Moons, comets and millions of stars and now for creative reasons it's time transition to new format art. The new art will come under another name and another website. But there will always still be stars.... :) I'll continue making a few Stella Murals products but this November is the last month things stay the same. Star ceilings and the large white star murals will be discontinued. Star stickers and bed canopies will be available in 2025. At this time the bed canopies will be probably be unavailable from Mid December through to about...
My Dream House, Stella Murals at 65 Patterson Terrace.
This has been our very loved home for the last 9 years, I loved it from the moment we saw it and always will. It's a Fraemohs house built in the style of a warm Swedish log cabin. It is a completely wooden house with huge vaulted ceilings upstairs. It was built 30 years ago but liquid pine sap still seeps from knotholes in the walls and smells strongly of pine. It was in a derelict state when we bought it. The carpets were so bad we were living on bare boards for years before we were able to afford to replace the flooring. The garden was so overgrown we didn't even know there was a garden shed when we bought it. I cleared...

New White Ceiling Canopies ~ Glitter Stars for the Daytime
I started painting glow in the dark star ceiling canopies many years ago now! The first was painted for an oasis in the Arizona desert. The new canopies are white tulle, light as a feather and adorned with golden glitter stars for the day. The stars and tiny crescent moons shine brightly when reflected in the light of the morning or evening sun. They are easy to pin to the ceiling or walls with the tiny white pins. They can be draped across four poster beds or any beds with frames. The canopies are painted with glowing Milky Way inspired misty galaxies. This is the glow in the dark component, they glow all night and the stars look exactly like real...
Which Glow in the Dark Stars Are Best for Making the Most Realistic Night Sky?
The best glow in the dark stars to use when making a realistic night sky must be tiny, bright, long glowing and multi-coloured. Tiny stars are essential! Large glow in the dark star dots and especially the old 5 pointed star shapes will not make a realistic night sky. The stars should be bright and long lasting, they must be made from the best grade quality materials so as to glow throughout the night and fade in the dawn light just like the stars in the real sky. Multi-coloured stars, while not as important for the actual colour, provide different levels of brightness so as to give your star ceiling maximum depth and contrast. ⭐ I’ve been creating star stickers for over...

How to make a Realistic Glow in the Dark Star Ceiling with Glow Star Stickers
My hand-painted glow in the dark star stickers are based on the realistic star ceiling murals I used to paint on location in New Zealand. These are the best glow in the dark star stickers I've been able to create so you can have the magic of a star ceiling without having to fly me over to paint your ceiling in person. ⭐ Description: The stars are made with perfectly deigned sizes and colours for a complete night sky. They are domed and so are packed with the highest amount of glow crystals possible. During the day, the stickers are coloured white through to bright yellow. They will glow best on white backgrounds but they're also awesome on coloured surfaces. ...
Sleep like a Fairytale Princess
Do you find it super hard to sleep at night? 🛌 Stress and anxiety make it annoying especially when you’re staring at the darkness for what seems like forever and you’ve got to get up early and that makes you panic even more right? I always think it’s totally going to ruin all the next day and then the next night I’ll be too tired and wound up to sleep. It's a vicious cycle! 🌷 What you can add to your bedroom that will help and that you will love is this… I painted the first glow in the dark star canopy in the world over ten years ago and ever since people have told me it really helps them sleep. When...
