We’ve already professed our love for this brand-new line of children’s wallpaper by SISSY+ MARLEY and designer Jill Malek; now, here’s a closer look at one of the rooms designed to showcase the collection’s Lucky Star paper. To our delight, it features one of our newest prints, Baby Elephant.

Home base to three-year-old Avery and two-month-old Sebastian, the room was designed and decorated to accommodate the needs of two small (but rapidly sprouting) children. Strong foundational pieces like an Oeuf toddler bed and crib and a Joya rocker from Monte Design were accented with whimsical additions like raw-edge cotton star pillows by Etsy favorite Colette Bream, and soft toys from Lucky Boy Sunday and blabla kids.

And Baby Elephant? He’s got a new friend in Avery (and this adorable push toy from Manny and Simon). “She loves elephants,” says her mother, Marissa, who adds: “My husband and I are jealous that the kids have the best room in the apartment!”

It’s a room that brings the great outdoors in: our newest Animal Print Shop Nursery Project (this time designed for a pair of rambunctious and fun-loving siblings) was inspired by the myriad wonders of nature and the unforgettable experience of camping – the stuff so many sweet childhood memories are made of.

We’re also thrilled to introduce not one but four new prints to inspire the room’s design: Wolf Pup No. 1 and Wolf Pup No. 2, Wolf Pup Pair, and Wolf Pup Little Darling.

Collaborating with Frances Merrill of Reath Design, who worked her magic using vintage furniture and accessories (bright bohemian rugs and a pair of hardy wooden beds, for example), patterned sheets from L.L. Bean, a beautiful log bench by Animal Print Shop favorites Monroe Workshop, and a sturdy camp trunk for the safe stowage of toys to create a rustic, rugged aesthetic. A wash of forest-green paint, a woven hanging chair, and a bright yellow bedside lamp completed the scene. It’s just right, we think, for a pair of prankish pups, ready to play.

She made her first appearance this winter on Cup of Jo; and today, at long last, she’s ready for her debut. Meet Baby Alpaca, our newest fuzzy, doe-eyed friend. And as if her arrival wasn’t reason enough to celebrate, her much-anticipated debut coincides with the release of our third Animal Print Shop Nursery Project, Desert Modern. 

This warm, sunlit room works in harmony with Baby Alpaca’s soft texture and sweet smile. A few of our favorite details are a vintage Moroccan rug, a jet-black Eames rocker, a Calder-style mobile, and a pendant light fixture strung with wooden beads. Oh, and one last extra-charming touch? We snuck in a wall of Little Darlings (look out for a new Baby Alpaca Little Darling  in there too!)

There’s a lot to love about this sweet Los Angeles nursery, which belongs to the even-sweeter Sienna, daughter of Green Wedding Shoes’s Jen and Jason. We adore her polka dot sheets, her graphic wall in shades of pink and gold, her handpainted clothing rod (made with love by mom). However, our favorite detail – and we admit we may be biased – has to be the adorable assemblage of Animal Print Shop Babies, hung in a neat square above Sienna’s crib. “I dreamt of hanging them in my baby’s room even before I was pregnant,” Jen writes. “This was one thing I knew I wanted for her room before I started designing it. The hard choice was deciding which four to feature!”

In the end, Baby Deer, Baby Monkey, Bear Cub, and Baby Giraffe made the cut (7″x9″ size). And, we were thrilled to discover, they’re in fine company. To fit the room’s baby animal theme, our friends join a fluffy pink-bowed bunny and a wooden fawn. Much like their adorable human counterparts, we think they make a lovely family. Thanks, Jen and Jason.

We’ve been blown away by the response to this room–it’s such a great feeling. When we came up with the concept for The Animal Print Shop Nursery Project, our goal was to inspire our customers beyond the walls our prints hang on–and based on our inbox over the last week, we’ve acomplished that goal. “Where can I get that whale pillow?”–”what crib is that?”–”where do I find the floating changing table?”–”who makes the rocking chair?”–”what size is the baby elephant print?” Even though the room sources are listed at the bottom of the orginal post, it seems all the photos were too much of a distraction, so we whipped up a quick post dedicated to all the sources right here!

It may be small, but it packs a pretty-and tiny-fisted-punch. Clean, crisp, and sophisticated, baby Dash’s Los Angeles nursery is our second Animal Print Shop Nursery Project, and we couldn’t be more excited to share the finished room. (See our first nursery project, completed last fall, here.) But first, come on in…

Dash’s parents, photographers Max and Margaux Wanger, are dear friends of The Animal Print Shop, and we’re longtime fans of the duo’s always-inspiring work. So when the two turned over total creative control of their little one’s room (a cozy nook in the corner of their charming Los Angeles home), we knew we had a welcome challenge on our hands.

Especially exciting for us was the opportunity to design the room around the addition of our very own baby, Baby Elephant – a brand-new, much-anticipated Print Shop family member. “What’s better than a baby elephant?” says Max.

We teamed up with designer Morgan Satterfield to create a bright, modern space fit for a design-savvy little man-in-the-making. Alongside Baby Elephant, hand-blocked curtains in black and gray, a custom-built floating dresser/changing table, and a modern wooden crib were our centerpieces; a one-of-a-kind mobile, a cheerful whale pillow, and a neon yellow tassel garland made for eye-catching accents.

“We love that Dash has such a colorful and happy space of his own,” says Margaux. “He’s going to love this.” We couldn’t be happier to hear it!

Many thanks to Max and Margaux for letting us take over their house for three days and trusting in us to deliver the goods (sorry about the grass!), The Minimalist, Oeuf, OneFortyThree, and especially Morgan Satterfield (we know, she’s a badass.)

We know, we know – this gorgeous nursery already made a splash on the internet back in February when things got too busy around here for us to update the blog. Better late than never? Joking aside, we were so blown away when images of Finn’s nursery landed in our inbox from the lovely ladies at Sissy+Marley. It’s such a thrill to see how our customers incorporate our prints into their spaces, and Sissy+Marley did us very proud. So for those of you who may have missed it, here’s a peek into Finn’s new room.We hope his Little Darlings are keeping him company at night….

Thank you Sissy+Marley!

It may have been the first nursery commission of his career, but when it came to the design of baby Stefan’s soothing, sunlit bedroom, Patrick Hamilton was full of inspiration.

“My clients wanted happy, calm, and cool” the designer explains. “Also, the gender of the incoming resident was a surprise for all, so we had to be flexible. Notknowing made the choices really fun. Each decision had to be tempered by the next, to make sure we got a masculine-feminine balance – which all good rooms need, not just surprise nurseries!”

After settling on a gender-neutral wildlife theme, Patrick set to work, choosing a bold Marimekko printed fabric as a unifying element. A pair of portraits from The Animal Print Shop followed soon after.

“I knew pretty early on that I wanted Baby Chick, for its puff of soft yellow, ” says Patrick. And, Stefan’s parents refer to the little man as “Stefanchik,” making the print an especially apt choice.

“I also settled on the Lamb Close-up, primarily for the color – white was a very intentional color choice in this room. And then there was the whole “counting sheep” thing – which may be wishful thinking in a nursery, sometimes!”

White frames and custom 8-ply mats were selected for the prints’ display, while furniture from Room and Board, West Elm, and CB2; a mobile from Land of Nod, and animal-themed lighting from Jonathan Adler added tasteful, stylish flair.

Patrick’s favorite details?

“I love the stripes and the painted ceiling.” he says. “But really, I love how it feels, at all times of day and night. And it was a real joy to use the animal prints. I know that as Stefan gets older, they will help him understand things about the natural world beyond his door. I can’t think of anything better than that!”

We’re honored. Thank you, Patrick, for bringing this beautiful room to our attention!

We finally got our hands on these beautiful new images of the nursery Kishani Perera and Layla Grayce designed for Molly Sim’s sweet baby, Brooks.

What a gorgeous, calm space. Oh, and hello amazing Sputnik light fixture!

Kishani made us proud with grouping ten of our Little Darlings for baby Brooks to wake up to.

Other highlights include the Austin Crib with matching Savannah Changer, a wood carved giraffe, a fun Ellie Side Table, and a whole lot of beautiful, soft textiles.

The Animal Print Shop is setting out to inspire our customers with high-design spaces. First up, The Fun Lux Nursery: A sophisticated space filled with soft textiles and glam gold touches.

Collaborating with us to kick off the The Animal Print Shop Nursery Project, interior designer Morgan Satterfield brought the Fun Lux Nursery to life in Palm Springs, CA.

Mixing modern design with vintage accents, we created a modern and glamorous nursery, without sacrificing comfort. The Animal Print Shop’s Baby Animal Nursery Art complemented by an unexpected coral and navy palate, and soft neutral textiles accented by a bold, focal point patterned wall of random chevrons.

Other features are a vintage brass lotus light fixture and an old knock-off Dorothy Draper dresser Satterfield brought back to life after finding it stripped to bare wood on Craigslist. In place of a mobile, a glistening tissue tassel garland blows in the desert breeze.

Thank you so much to Rove Concepts and Oeuf for contributing to the room. The giveaway we ran for this room is now closed, but make sure you like our facebook page to stay tuned for more Nursery Projects, giveaways, and news to come!Interior Design: Morgan Satterfield
