为了哄孩子们开心，这位爸爸竟把家里变成这个样子……

今日问题

⊙这样的爸爸想要吗？⊙

I’m a stay at home dad of 2 beautiful little girls (almost 3 and 6). We moved closer to my in-laws about a year ago, while we love the house it was built in the early ’80s. The vast majority of the walls have that hard “sand” texture on them so going the vinyl cling route wasn’t an option.

我是一位全职爸爸，有两个漂亮的小女孩(分别是3岁和6岁)。大约一年前，我们搬到离我岳父母更近的地方，然而我们很喜欢这栋建于80年代初的房子。绝大多数墙壁都有坚硬的“沙子”纹理，所以选择乙烯基粘附是不可能的。

（第一面墙——莫安娜、小美人鱼和史迪仔）

（I do know Moana comes off a little dark, I spent many hours trying to get the skin tone right, and it’s about as good as I could do at the time, the reference image was a little darker too, so that could be part of it.）

（我知道莫安娜的肤色有点暗，我花了好几个小时试着让她的肤色变亮一点，这是我当时能做到的最好的效果，参考图像也有点暗，所以这是其中的一部分。）

（第二面墙-长发公主和梅里达）

I used to be fairly artistic years ago, but I’ve not really painted anything outside of changing wall colors for probably 20+ years since high school (especially nothing close to this scale). I’ve always wanted to and thought about painting a mural for my kids someday.

几年前我是一个很有艺术天赋的人，但是从高中开始，我大概有20多年没有画过除了改变墙壁颜色以外的任何东西(尤其是没有任何接近这个规模的东西)。我一直想有一天给我的孩子们画一幅壁画。

（第三面墙——无牙仔、日煞、波卡洪塔斯、弗利特、米科和珀西）

Anywho… this is what I came up with. I used a cheap LED projector that I found on Amazon (which also works great for movie nights now), I penciled on the general shapes/proportions, then made at least a couple passes on each with acrylics trying to get as much detail in as I could.

这是我想到的。我用了我在亚马逊上找到的一个便宜的LED投影机(现在它在我晚上看电影时也很好用)，我用铅笔画出了大概的形状/比例，然后用丙烯画做了至少两张，试图尽可能地处理好细节。

（第四面墙通往冰冻棉花糖、雪糕、艾尔莎、安娜、奥拉夫、克里斯托夫、斯文）

I spent probably 3-4 hours a day 5+ days a week for the better part of the summer. The girls have a lot of different favorites so I couldn’t fit them all in, but overall they love it. We still need to change out the windows and replace the trim before we move them into the new room.

在夏天的大部分时间里，我可能每次花3-4个小时，每周5天以上。女孩们有很多不同的最爱，所以我不能把她们都放进去，但总的来说，她们很喜欢。在我们搬进新房间之前，我们还需要把窗户换掉，把装饰换掉。

这样的爸爸你酸了吗？
