"My husband and I were looking for something fun to decorate our sons nursery which we were doing in a dinosaur theme. I was looking on Pinterest one day and saw a photo of the dinosaur peeking around a window. I saved it to my board but just thought it was something that would be too hard to do. I kept seeing it on Pinterest and decided why not at least click and see. I ended up ordering it and could not of been happier. Not only was it a perfect size and fit for the wall I wanted it on but it was very easy to work with. The instructions were very clear and tracing it and painting it were so easy (which was nice because I was working on it at 7 months pregnant). I definitely will be looking into Elephants on the Wall next time I am decorating a room.

My friends and family love it and are very impressed! I actually had one friend who thought it was a sticker I had just put on the wall it looks that good!"

"Patti this is a very special moment for me personally because I had a difficult pregnancy. I have not had the opportunity to make a special room for his arrival because of my month long hospital stays. So this is our first room....and my eyes fill with tears of joy to be sharing this super special moment with you literally at my side. Eternally grateful, Farina and Kai and Günter

Christina Alosi - Fullerton, CA

 
"My sister and I did the project together and had so much fun doing it.  It was so easy to trace onto the walls and being creative with the colors made it more fun.  My 3 year old daughter requested we add a turtle and a snail to our mural and it came out so cute.  We love this project and are so happy with the results

Naomi Klein - Oakton, VA 

"I had the mural covered for a month while I worked on it and when I surprised her she absolutely loved it :) . I have 3 more penguin items that I can paint from that icy escapades custom mural you made me but those will have to wait for another time! :) 

I added a few touches:

1.  Some white puffy/fuzzy cloud stickers in the sky.

2.  A pinecone because one of her favorite books is about a penguin and pinecone becoming friends :)

3.  I also changed some of the colors due to the color of her wall which is a light lavender "

"All Girl Scouts celebrate Juliette Low's birthday in October. Our troop threw a Birthday Bash for all the girls in our area. We picked the mural so all girls (age 5 to 18) could work together to create something. You can see that I traced it on paper and we painted it during a Girl Scout party.  The little girls had a great time painting and the older girls had fun painting at the top and helping the younger girls. The event was a huge success and it was so cool to see the final creation. We didn't paint inside the lines or use the color key - but we had a blast. Thanks for supplying our inspiration!
