Etsy Find: Original Illustrations on Wallpaper and Fabric by Kate Zaremba Company

When I first came across Kate Zaremba Company on Etsy, I knew the sweet Zebra print removable wallpaper had to have a place in our home. And then I found the foxy wallpaper, sweet for a nursery in every way. With clean patterns and simple color palettes, these wallpaper prints could work in any room from a powder room to the nursery to an eat-in kitchen.

I could seriously design an entire nursery around a “Foxy” wall with neutral colors throughout the room (Foxy wallpaper roll $48).

All of the removable wallpaper, art prints, fabric, and gift wrap from Kate Zaremba Company are hand drawn and custom printed, making them unique and interesting. They could be just right for an accent wall or lining in a closet if you’re not quite ready to take it to every wall.

If despite the amazing patterns, wallpaper still isn’t your thing, try the fabric by the yard ($28) for just a hint of the Kate Zaremba style.

2- Control Brands Hang-It-All (since you’re painting it anyway)- $99

To finish off the space I would absolutely use the same rocker and brass lamp because they make a huge statement at a truly reasonable price.

Which room would you go for– the original, the less expensive one or a combination of the two?  Where would you splurge and where might you save?

My Modern Nursery: Get the Look: The Animal Print Shop Baby Elephant Nursery

Yesterday we toured an incredible modern nursery designed and put together by the folks from The Animal Print Shop and inspired by their new Baby Elephant print.  Today I’ve got a list of sources so you can recreate this look in your own nursery!

1- Baby Elephant from The Animal Print Shop- 24″ x 30″- $950
2- Eames Hang-It-All (was spray painted yellow)- $200
3- Dip dyed tassel garland by Ouchflower- $180
4- Dagny Curtains from Ikea- $60 a pair
5- Fest Blanket by Mae Engelgeer- $165
6- Auggie Pebble Grey Crib Sheet– $45
7- Oeuf Rhea crib (Oeuf Robin in the actual room)- $670
8- Bear Cub Close-Up from The Animal Print Shop- 8.5 x 11″- $25
9- Eames Elephant – White– $330
10- Watermelon vs Mandarin Circle Cushion from Jennifer + Smith- $130
Whale Music Mobile from Ferm Living- $46

Total pictured: $2801

One of my favorite parts of the entire space is the beautiful “Roxy” chair from onefortythree– $425

Hopefully they’ll make this rocker for a while because I’d really love to add it to my list of modern rocking chairs.  For $425 it’s the least expensive on the list.   I’d get yours now because when they wise up, they’re bound to double the price!  The brass swing arm lamp in the room is also from onefortythree and the least expensive brass swing arm lamp I could find online at $145.

Not pictured: Ikea Ribba picture ledges as book display shelves- $10 each and some of the stylish books on display include:

Lost and Found– $18
Bruno Munari’s ABC– $20
Sparkle and Spin: A Book About Words– $17
Where the Wild Things Are– $18
This Moose Belongs to Me– $17
Press Here– $16

Feel free to judge the books by their covers, because the covers are works of art!

So what’s your favorite part of this special nursery?

Real Room Tour: Featuring Baby Elephant from The Animal Print Shop

Dash’s Los Angeles nursery is clean, simple and beautiful– everything the perfect modern nursery should be.  Dash’s parents Max and Margaux Wanger turned creative control of their little one’s room over to their friends at The Animal Print Shop, and with results like this, I wouldn’t hesitate hesitate to turn my entire home over to them!

The room features a limited edition print of The Animal Print Shop’s latest baby, “Baby Elephant” as a striking (and adorable) focal point.

The crib is a Robin from Oeuf and the white Eames Elephant adds some sculptural fun on this side of the room.

We’re going to have to talk more about that amazing “Roxy” chair from OneFortyThree another day…

…and just stop drooling over the “fauxdenza” storage unit / changing table because if you want one you’re going to have to make it yourself!

I think this nursery illustrates that you can really create an incredible high end look in a small space by investing in just a few statement pieces.  In this case the artwork, rocker, lamp and Eames accessories prove that less is more.

Thanks to Sharon Montrose from The Animal Print shop for letting us share these amazing photos (by Joe Schmelzer) with you.  Check out their nursery post for more information about the room.

Mr Maria Lamps

Finally we can talk about the cute, modern kid friendly lamps from Dutch design studio, Mr Maria.  With their iconic Miffy lamps at the helm, Mr Maria lamps will be arriving on US shores thanks to Cool Kids Company.

But Miffy and Miffy XL are not all that we’ll be seeing.  There is also Anana the elephant, the hanging Miffy Dream, Nanuk the bear and Kokeshi.

Finally, Snuffy is not a lamp, but he’s awfully cute.

No timeline or pricing details are available yet, but I’ll update this post when the time comes.
