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

Grayson William’s Chapel Hill, NC nursery may be baby-friendly, but don’t get the wrong idea – the decor, punctuated with shades of blue and gray, is decidedly un-babyish. “Overall, I just wanted a clean modern vibe for the room,” says his mother, furniture and interior designer Tracy Kalman Jordan.

“My favorite details in the room are the animal prints – particularly the babywhite tiger; he has the sweetest face – and the nostalgic items, such as the vintage wooden train set that belonged to my brother when he was a child,” says Tracy.

“I used white Ribba gallery frames from Ikea for the prints, which are simple, clean, and work well with the room’s modern look. I loved all of the animals, but in the end, I chose based mainly on color scheme and facial expression. I didn’t have a particular animal theme for the room, so I was open to choose the ones that spoke to me.”

Baby Grayson is a fan of the prints, too-he will stare at them forever! He loves the baby kangaroo, in particular,” Tracy says. “Not sure if he’s drawn to its ears or what!”

Tracy’s nursery-ware shops of choice? Ikea (for my pendant light fixture, the bookcase, and several stuffed animals”), Overstock.com (“great for rugs”), and West Elm (where she found her patterned drapes and felt storage bins). Birch tree wall decals came from the Etsy shop Artwall Project.

“The best place to shop, however,” she says, “is in your own home. I pulled in lamps and a side table from another room, and repurposed an old dresser by painting it gray. Moving items from room to room helps keep everything fresh and new.”

Thank you so much for sharing, Tracy!
