All Our Pets Baby Mural
July 6th, 2009
Have you ever thought of blowing out your baby’s mobile onto the walls? Many babies have animal mobiles over their cribs and real animals as part of the family. For Nicholas, we wanted to take both ideas to a whole new level. We created an animal mural inspired in his collection of pets including a friendly dog, a chatty parrot, a sweet love bird, fish in a pond and… no, he doesn’t actually have a giraffe, but it looked so cute we had to include it in his nursery décor as well!
My friend Logan was having her first baby and I wanted to do something special for her baby shower gift. Her theme for the nursery was animals… any kind… but it quickly was clear that the animals that would be shaping the baby’s life should be featured. Hence, I designed a nursery mural that incorporated their pets plus a mommy and baby giraffe combo watching over all of them.
What was the best part about the mural? It was definitely having friends and daddy join in the adventure of painting it in. However, today, mommy Logan says Nicholas stares at the images on the wall while hanging out in his crib and smiles… that’s how we know we did the right thing.
Enjoy!

Giraffes are my favorite animals. Love the way you used them here on this mural. Keep up the good work.
Hi Awy,
Just thought i would let you know that Nicolas has recently discovered his mural and loves it! I was sitting in the chair with him this weekend and he was so interested in the mural and kept smiling at the giraffes and flowers. It was so cute – he was fixated and followed the mural around parts of the room, his eyes opening wide as he found something new.
