• Animal Art that Works Outside the Nursery

  It's true, today's modern parents want a nursery that, were it not for the crib, would look like any other well-groomed room in their home. Catherine Ledner's animal prints certainly fit the bill. They've got the cute animal look for the kiddies and the well-composed but cheeky look for the parents. What I like best--and perhaps what elevates the pieces to art Read More...

• Genius Idea: Paint-by-Number Wallpaper Border

  My affinity for paint-by-number has been documented previously, so imagine how excited I was to discover paint-by-number wallpaper border. Designed by Jenny Wilkinson, the 5-foot border can be left as-is, or you can paint in the blanks, either using the provided color palette or by creating your own. While it would certainly add a touch of fun in a nursery, I'm imagining it in our (admittedly) eclectic living room. Two nice things about wallpaper border: The border is relatively cheap   Read More...

• The Lorax Project: Some Serious Art for Your Nusery's Walls

  One of the fun stops I like to make when visiting my parents in Roswell, Ga., is to the Anne Jackson Gallery in historic downtown Roswell. An authorized dealer of Dr. Seuss art, the gallery has a bunch of Seuss art on display that sends me back many years. While there, I found out about a new project between Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Random House, called the Lorax Project. (The Lorax, if you remember, stands up for the trees against the Once-ler, and there's no doubt about the book's environmental message.)  Read More...

• This Wallpaper is Part of the Art

  Nursery wall art is a hot property right now between removable stickers and vintage prints, but I like artist Lisa Golightly's different take on the genre. She paints her silhouettes of children and animal onto textured wallpaper that she then mounts onto wood panels. The result is Read More...

• Tootsie Pop Art

  Design themes for nurseries, bedrooms and play rooms come and go. But if you keep it classic, it’s easy to create a look that will last.

• 14 Days of Nursery: Alphabet Poster

  What nursery would be complete without an ode to the alphabet? This one, by Binth, happens to be in one of my favorite retro-leaning (and gender-neutrel) color combinations--orange and light blue. The screenprinted poster can be ordered framed ($375) or unframed ($85). The framed poster has a sheet of plexiglass and a metal frame. Want a money-saving tip? Read More...

• 14 Days of Nusery: Chalkboard Wall Animals

  I've never been ready to commit to an entire wall of chalkboard paint (especially living in a rental), but I love the idea of letting kids get creative on the nursery wall with minimal damage to personal property. For other noncommittal renters out there who want their kids to get creative, these reusable, chalkboard stickers from Wall Candy Art ($56) are the perfect solution. The kit comes with six animals--two elephants, two giraffes and two rhinoceroses. Chalk and erasers, extra.

• Wall Alternative: Tile-Inspired Wallpaper

  The bold, graphic prints on Swedish designer Hanna Werning's wallpaper were inspired by traditional Italian tiles. What I love best about them is the bold interplay of color and pattern. I find her design fun enough for a kids room, but I wouldn't be surprised if many parents whisk this design element straight to their room. However, don't expect this to hang like normal wallpaper.

• Cutest Kids Wall Adhesives ... Ever!

  Sometimes we feature things that are out of reach. This post is one of those times. How awesome do I find these wall stickers? I was willing to showcase them even when I thought the entire website was in French! However, e-glue does have a site translated into English, which makes it all the better to enjoy the themed designs, such as the Lovely Uma! as part of the Giga Kit (above). The animals have such a beautiful personality that they're hard not to love (close-ups below). But there is that little pesky matter of price. A complete set of eight rather large stickers in your choice of colors is 259 Euros (payable by PayPal), plus shipping. I won't run the numbers into dollars for you, but you might click around and decide you like some of the single-set adhesives just as much and treat yourself, er, I mean your kid.

• Small Paul Stickers are Bubblicious

  It's hard to not fall Paul Frank's Small Paul line (many of us probably still have an adult-sized Paul Frank tee of our own in the wardrobe). These 80 reusable vinyl stickers from the collection are offered at Design Public, come in an 80-pack ($68) and will spice up any kid's room. And the peel and re-stick feature makes them a much better wall art option than something that gets semi-permanently nailed in. Just resist the urge to tell you kiddo about the time when you were decorating your school geography notebook with Paul Frank stickers. Click through for an idea of how to arrange (especially if you have a spare Eames rocker that you have no idea what to do with). Read More...

• Fun With Organization? It Is Possible with Movella's Coat Rack from MoMA

  It's hard enough to convince myself to hang my coat up, much less a child for whom putting things directly on the floor is second-nature. Enter this ingenious coat rack from Movella that doubles as a kind of game. Kids can move the pegs anywhere along the kitty-shaped track, and the pegs are strong enough to hold kids' coats and clothes. Ages 3 and up. It's $55 at the MoMA store. Might be just the perfect antidote to the "where do we put all these new Christmas clothes?" question.

• Wall Art: Leap Fearlessly With This Print

  What a perfect print for any older girl's room.  What preadolescent (or older!)  girl doesn't need the affirmation  to live her life without fear and regret.  To take risks and be true to her own inner voice. Heck, I could use the message myself some days.  This is an 8" x 8" quality print of an original mixed media painting by Kelly Rae and sells for $28.   Posted Dec 18 2007, 04:02 PM by chrisjordan with | with no comments Filed under: wall art, print, kelly rae, leap fearlessly, inspirational art
