2nd Place
Candice McCasland - Broomfield, CO
"We had a fantastic time putting this mural up for my daughter's birth. It was very user friendly and though a little labor intensive, it was relatively simple to complete. The results are amazing people are always in awe that we did this mural ourselves and didn't have to pay an artist. I love the room, in fact we are just purchased a second mural for another room, since we are expecting again."
The crib, dresser and bedding are all Pottery Barn Kids. The rocker is LL Bean.

3rd Place
Katie Breit - Sharpsville, PA
Large Under Construction Wall Mural
"This mural was for my second son's bedroom. My first son who just turned 2 helped us pick out the theme for his new baby brother. Myself, my husband, my mother and my best friend all took part in painting this. We are so thrilled about how it turned out, and could not be happier with the mural. Guests at the house are on awe of this, and it definitely gives our house a unique conversation piece. I know both of our boys will love this room for years to come!"

Nicole Bylecki - Old Bridge, NJ
"We have purchased two murals from you in the past. The murals were so much fun to do and they looked amazing when completed, that when it was time to transform my 4 year olds room to a "big girl" room your products came first to mind!
I saw the ballerinas and fell in love with them. All her little friends, parents as well, just love her room and cant believe the ballerinas were painted on and not just a decal!
I have highly recommended your website and products to all that have asked me, "OMG how did you that?!?!" And I will continue to do so!"

"I had so much fun working on this mural. I wanted to create an amazing playroom for my two year old daughter and thanks to elephants on the wall was able to do so. Now she always says "mommy lets go to the beach"."

Rebekah Law - Perth, Western
Prehistoric Playpals & The Peek-a-saurus Doorhugger Wall Murals
"After a brilliant outcome with the Peek-a-Saurus wall mural/door hugger, I just had to expand on the wall mural for my 2 yr old son. I reversed the Prehistoric Playpals wall mural (was super easy to do) and added some of the background hills to the peek-a-saurus to make it all look like one big mural. I am SO happy with the end result and always get plenty of compliments on it. This is such an easy product to use and I love how you can personalize it to make it your own."

Honorable Mention
Lisa & Scott Bales - David City, NE
Beach Scene Wall Mural
"We were moving our daughter into her new bedroom to make room for a new baby brother. We wanted her to have a special bedroom to help with the transition. We love the outdoors and summertime so had already found a bedding set with a fun beach theme. It was so exciting to find the beach theme mural at Elephants on the Wall. Although we are not overall artistic, we felt this was a challenge we could take on. It wasn't much of a challenge at all! It was a little time consuming but I loved the painting and seeing my daughter's eye's light up every time we let her have a peak of her new room! We have received tons of compliments and our daughter LOVES her new room!

Honorable Mention
Ann Biagini - San Gabriel, CA
"The design was easy to prop on the wall, and finagle the design to taste. This mural had sentimental value, making it easy to capture that aspect by implementing our family's detailing. Great way to bring a room to life!"
Special Note: Each of the faces of the firefightes in the mural were changed to resemble the FOUR firefighters in the family!

Honorable Mention
Kristi Miller - Kingstown, RI
Small Silhouette Safari Wall Mural
"I was so surprised how easy The Silhouette Safari mural was to create, especially since I don't consider myself artistic by any means. What I really enjoyed about doing this mural is the family bonding time between my Mom, myself, and my husband as we all helped trace the mural. Elephants on the wall is such a great product and I would definatley purchase more products in the future!"

Honorable Mention
Jennifer Austin -Saratoga Springs, NY
Birch Tree Silhouettes Wall Mural
"When designing a nursery for our baby-to-be, we decided that a full wall mural would compliment the space well, given the large size of the room. Elephants on the Wall provided a huge selection and we knew at once the design that we would use. The process was simple and easy to do, although it did look intimidating at first. I was able to trace the mural on the wall in less than an hour and it took about 6-8 hours to paint. Very easy and what a huge impact it makes. Everyone always compliments us on the mural as soon as they walk into the space! "

Honorable Mention
Michelle Bauer - Kankakee, IL
"We are so pleased and proud of our Jungle Story Mural that we painted in our baby girl’s room! The process was so easy and makes an artist out of anyone. Everyone we show has been thoroughly impressed. I customized the colors by using the Ace Paint palette. To gain more depth, I used high gloss paint on the tree leaves and animal eyes. Overall the painting took much less time that I expected. I found no other website that came close to matching the characters in the jungle mural. We are looking forward to many years of creative story telling with our baby girl! "
