Peanuts for Peanuts?
Actually, it remains to be seen if some Peanuts character murals by Charles M. Schulz will be sold or acquired by the Charles M. Schulz Museum but probably not for mere peanuts.
They were painted directly on the walls of Charles M. Schulz’ Minneapolis home where he lived with his family in 1955, with paneling added to frame them. The home is up for sale for the first time in 54 years. The current homeowner, having grown up with the murals, does not consider them part of the sale of the house but separately. Their estimated worth is $100,000 and it is the hope that the Charles M. Schulz Museum will acquire them so we can all enjoy these early cartoon renditions.
However, if you are interested in scooping up the house in Minnesota, here’s the listing and a few pics.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
