I painted this EOTW mural for the upcoming birth of my little boy. I was honestly astounded with the simplicity of it and I was amazed with the finished product!!!! I got so many compliments from people who couldn't believe it was a paint by numbers mural. Being completely un-artistic, even I couldn't believe I had painted it and it turned out so well!!! Seriously, if I could do it, anyone can!

absolutely love your murals.This was my second one. We also have the fire station and now the dinosaur one. ( have not finished them yet :(  )

Your murals make the rooms feel so much more personal. My boys just love being able to choose something just for them and being able to be part of decorating their rooms. For that I thank you.

I created this mural for my 3 year old son.  He is all about construction sites so this was a perfect fit for his "big boy" room.  I had an abundance of paint colors on hand, so I took the liberty to embellish this design to its fullest.  It was so easy for me to trace the outline and fill in the colors as I pleased.  My son's favorite color is yellow, so naturally the equipment was going to be yellow!  Thank you Elephants on the Wall for helping me add big impact in a simple fashion.  I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to have an opinion for how she wants her room decorated.  This was my second mural from Elephants on the Wall; I did a birch tree silhouette a few years ago that all my friends adored.

Had a great time making this mural. A little overwhelming at first, but worth it in the end.

I bought the Beach Scene over two years ago and have been in three different homes and finally gave my current garage the mural experience.

The kit is easy and just a fantastic way to bring some island sunshine to my retirement community here in the Chicago area! Thanks!

We turned our daughters room into a guest room. The mural went together incredibly easy!  It took 2 days to complete from start to finish. Amazing! I have recommended the website to all my friends. Love it!

I bought the mural for the nursery for the for baby boy that we are expecting in January. This is my third child. I ordered the Twins Jungle mural. I was able to break apart the mural and use it on three different sections of the wall. I found the mural very easy to manipulate to my needs. Since I have three children I added a third of each of the baby animals to represent each of my three children. The directions and mural itself were very user friendly and I have gotten tons of compliments on how well the mural came out. I am very pleased with the results as I was trying to go for a little bit more sophisticated look in this room instead of the cartoonish jungle theme that it was before. Overall I had a great experience with Elephants on the Wall and the putting the mural up myself. I would highly recommend the company and other murals!

Finally had a chance to take pictures of my daughter's bedroom and bath as well as my son's.  Her bedroom is beach theme and her bath is ocean.  My son's bedroom and bath are both jungle theme.  We did it over the Thanksgiving week.  The godmother and I planned to do all of it, but it seemed like so much fun, that my husband joined in. Everyone that has visited our new home and seen the murals has loved them.  I think our kids will always remember how spectacular their bedrooms were as children.  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to give them those memories!

Thank you is not enough to express how grateful I am to have found you. I had been looking for so long to try to find the type of products you offer. It was so easy to do and the results are beyond all my expectations. great product, a lot of choices, and it makes the room look absolutely amazing! My seven years old daughter finally enjoys sleeping in her room. Thank you again, and we are highly recommending you ! Thank you a thousand times!

I love your products and I am working on my second (Grand Prix). I am not an artist and had not done anything like this before. I was so amazed at how easy the process really is. My biggest concern was with making mistakes, but I realized that mistakes can easily be fixed. I really enjoyed painting the mural and had no idea how much fun it would actually be.    

My next mural will be in my baby girl's room and I will be shopping at your store :)

My two and a half year old Jake loves his dinosaurs so much that he actually asks me if he can go to bed so he can visit them!  Now that's awesome!!!

Hi Patti,

 

This is Maria Guy from Crescent City Foursquare Church. 1st of all I want to thank you for all the help you gave me to get my projects started!

We have been able to take advantage of the extra time on our hands and we have completely redecorated 4 of our Children’s Ministry Rooms! 

 

This would have been totally impossible without your paint by number murals! They were simple and easy to do with my limited creative abilities!

 

For our nursery, we are doing the Jungle theme! You will see that we were a little creative and made some extra branches on the tree to spread over both windows. This room is still in progress.

For our toddlers we have done a farm theme. The kids will love the farm animals/.

For our next room we decided on the dinosaur room! Your color suggestions are great and I absolutely love the door huggers!

For the last room we went with a little bit older theme and we did the chevrons! I am super glad we did! It looks amazing! 

None of our rooms are completely finished. We still need to arrange furniture and supplies but I am so excited and can’t wait to see all the happy faces when the kids are back.

I came across the Elephants on the Wall "Forest Friends" trace and paint wall mural when I was searching for an outdoor themed room that was kid friendly for my 2 1/2  year old son's new "big boy room". My husband tried to talk me out of doing it at first because it looked like a huge undertaking and I was seven months pregnant with our second child. But it was surprisingly easy! With the help of my husband and my sister, we taped panel after panel from ceiling to floor and carefully traced the pictures on the wall. We repeated some panels, reversed some of the panels and moved animals around to better fit around the furniture and shape of the room. Then we painted and painted, changing some of the suggested colors but keeping to the general color palette. It took my sister and I two weeks to complete the painting, working every evening after putting my son to bed. She even free-handed a few birds in the trees, and added a fox peering down from the top of the closet. After we were all done, we used a clear coat to protect the mural and make it washable. We added a large stuffed bear and some comfy floor pillows in matching greens and browns to make a cozy reading corner. My son was so excited when he saw it for the first time and is very proud of his "Forest Friends". Everyone who has seen the room absolutely loves it and is totally impressed that it was a trace and paint. It was truly a labor of love and was so much fun for me and my sister to work on together. I am so happy with the way it turned out. It really brings the room to life. We can't wait to do the next one for my daughter this summer!

I've always wanted to do something special for my 2 yo daughter's playroom, so at 33 yrs old and after being diagnose with Stage 4 Breast Cancer. I took the opportunity and time to put my energy in doing this mural. I find it very relaxing :) I used acrylic paints and added a 3D effect with the trees. She loves Barney so I change the teddy bear color as well. Love motivational posters I got at Target for $1 each and added that on the wall. Overall, the best part...my daughter and I spend a lot of time in this room and staring at the wall :)

I first saw this mural on Pinterest, about a year before I was even pregnant. I fell in love! I knew two things about the room I wanted for our future children. 1. I was going to make a round tree crib. 2. I was going to find a way to paint that mural from Pinterest. When I discovered your company, I was super excited! Then when I received the mural, I was thrilled with how easy it was to place on the wall and paint! I invited a few friends over to help me and we had a great time! I could not be happier with the finished room, thank you for a wonderful product!

Thank you! This mural was exactly what I was looking for to make our nursery complete! It was simple to use and I had fun painting it with friends!

The mural you see here is in my sons room. His name is Dylan and he is 8 months old. It was really great to paint this, as it brought the family together. Everyone wanted to help, from grandparents to nephews. It turned out great and we love it!

My husband ad I thoroughly enjoyed doing the mural together in anticipation of our first baby.  We found the mural easy to apply and are so very pleased with the result.  We received so many 'ooohs' and 'awwws' over the finished product.  We just cant wait for our baby to arrive (May 15th) to make the room complete. :)

Paisley wall.  Although bumpy road initially to get the project started,  we plowed through it once we got going.  The previous owner of the giraffe room now has her "Big Girl Room" set and ready to go.  The rest of the room has a few finishing touches, but wanted to make sure we submitted in time for the contest.  She proudly proclaims purple in her adorable 19month old speech every time she sees the room, and has said "OH BOY" more than once while analyzing our progress.   Can't wait to watch her grow with this room for years to come!!

Large giraffe wall.  This was our second time doing the giraffe mural.   We had it initially in our townhouse,  and it was our first project when we moved to our new home.  The first time we did it, I got a little aggressive with the colors.   We decided to tame it down this go around.   This room is our nursery,  which will have a new inhabitant come July 2014!

I easily modified the girl's 'Sweet Dreams Twin Bed Hugger' to match the colors in my son's carnival themed bedding. This is the second mural I've done and plan on doing more.

I had wanted one of the larger images but really only had this broken up wall to work with as one door goes into her closet and one into the Jack and Jill bathroom.  We took your Palm Tree & Surfboard Mural and reversed it to frame the room but took out the surfboard and ball on one side to make them look different and then took some of the water and sand elements to fill the small space in the middle.  The other three walls are painted with the same lighter blue color, with waves all the way around the top of the room.  I worked on this with my mom and we had so much fun doing it and surprising my daughter.  This is my favorite room in the house!!  I love showing off her room and telling people that I painted it since I’m not particularly artistic.

I love this bamboo mural.  It took me quite some time to find the time to do it, but I'm so glad I finally got it done.  I love the effect with the glossy and semi-glossy paint.  The wall color is Benjamin Moore's Santorini Blue.

I love the murals from EOTW!  I used one in the nursery for all three of my children.  I really wanted a mural for my first child's room and was very pleased when I discovered EOTW!  Ever since then everytime I was expecting my husband decided since i had to deal with being pregnant he would take on the task of painting the mural and with the easy to follow steps of the murals he got the MUCH EASIER way out!  But i dont mind I loveeee how they looked in all three rooms.  My daughters love the animals in the woodland critters mural and claim the owl is there to watch over them to make sure no scary monsters come in the room and just in case they do the bears will beat them up.  They've named each animal and have really grown attached to the mural.  My son is only eight months old but he does stare at the bright colors of the trucks when he uses his jumper and I'm sure its only a matter of time before he starts talking about them.

This mural was my project in the months anxiously awaiting the birth of our daughter this year. My husband and I wanted a design that could work for both a boy or a girl and he loves the outdoors. I fell in love with these woodland critters! Being 5+ months pregnant at the time, there were moments I felt I was a bit too ambitious to tackle this large of mural, but I am so glad I did!  The method was easy to follow, and I have fond memories of spending weekends working on it leading up to her birth. Her nursery is hands-down my favorite room in our house!

“My  4 year old loves the red plane in his room!  Not a difficult project, but does take time as I did two coats of paint for opacity.  I found small paintbrushes to be helpful for precisions with the corners.  Since the base color of the room was blue, I opened up the clouds a bit to introduce the mural into the room.  I like that the mural allows for customization such as color choices (such as the shiny red on the plane) and using the template to create clouds throughout the top of the walls and along the windows.  I had a lot of fun working on it!”

My wife and I had so much fun painting the mural on our wall in our back yard.  We added other figures to the mural to give the whole wall a beach feeling.  We have gotten so many compliments from our neighbors on how it has turned our back yard into a day at the beach.

It turned out AMAZINGLY in the room I made for my daughter's nursery!  I'm so happy with the results....I've put the photo on my Facebook, and everyone has been amazed and asking how I did it. I, of course, gave glowing reviews of your company and let them know where they could find your patterns. :)

People on my Facebook seriously went crazy for it. Said it looked like a magazine. :). I was so pleased with the results.

We found your website when looking for something creative to do for our first child's nursery. Once I found your website I was sure that this was this we wanted to do. We made it a family affair and had myself, my husband, my mother, father, and my mother in law all assisting in creating a warm, inviting, fun environment to raise our first child. We are beyond thrilled with how it turned out and can't wait to introduce our son to his room that he can grow up in. It was fun to take the product you provided and be creative with how we used it.

Our mural decorates our newborn son's nursery and I have attached a couple of pictures.  We decided on an African safari theme and we love the outcome.  The bold colours and pattern will stimulate him in the early years and will be educational when he is old enough to recognise the animals!  We have received so many compliments and have a couple of friends who have looked to buy a mural from yourselves as a result!

We had an excellent experience with Elephantsonthewall.com who shipped our mural to the UK promptly and we received excellent customer service when we had any queries about shipping - thanks!

My experience with my Elephants on the Wall mural was terrific. The mural arrived on time, was packaged nicely , and has simple and clear directions. I found the process of transferring the pattern easy and I was happy to see that I could use the pattern and carbon paper more than once. I can't wait for my newborn son to be laying on his changing table and gazing up at his new jungle friends.

The project turned out better than we could have imagined.  The instructions were easy to follow and it allowed us to make some customizations.  All in all, it took us three days to complete.  We're already starting to think about other rooms!

We LOVE this mural!  When we were first found out that we were pregnant with our baby boy, we knew immediately that we had to track down the hand-made Noah's Ark toy that we had seen at a craft fair, years ago.  We were able to find it and we decided to build the room theme from there.  We were thrilled to find this mural and knew right away that we had to do it!  Everyone thought we were crazy for tackling something so big, but my husband and I had a great time doing it.  We spent many a Saturday morning painting and chatting and dreaming about our little baby.  Not only was it a great project, but a great bonding experience for the both of us. The Noah's Ark toy (and nursery inspiration) is pictured in front of the mural, along with some animal chairs from a family member. Our little one is 6 months old now and he absolutely loves the monkeys on the top of the ship.  He loves to be held up next to the wall so he can touch it and giggle!

This is a custom mural made from 3 different designs. My daughter's room is filled with fairies, sparkles and now this beautiful large mural. we designed it to have the prince and princess not getting married bec my daughter is only 4. we added her favorite color purple for the unicorn. I believe its the 1st and only unicorn on the website. it was simple to do but of course with 2 people and over several weekends. my daughter reinvented the original copy by modifying the towers and door to have stripes just like the book she got called " rainbow princess book".She actually painted the door and tower stripes on a ladder with my assistance!!! everyone thinks it was done professionally. we added metallic paint to the wings and princess crown as well as a clear shiney sealer to avoid messy lil fingers!!

My wife and I painted the small version of "Pirate Pete'sTreasure Map".  The product was outstanding.  We just traced the design and started painting!  It was a fun project and our kids, Bradley and Landon, love it!  It goes perfect with their pirate themed bedroom. We went with the suggested colors with the exception of the outer border. We changed that to red to make it 'pop' a little and to tie into the overall room colors which included red.  Although it is more work than using a simple decal, the result looks far better.  Everyone that has entered our kids room has commented on the mural.  Usually they ask how much we paid to have it done and when we tell them that we actually did it, nobody believes us.  Wecouldn't be happier with the outcome.

My daughter and her husband gave me the OK to decorate my grandson's bedroom. I chose a pirate theme because all little boys want to be a pirate! While looking for pirate things online a good friend of the family "Aunt Peggy" and I came upon your awesome website! We couldn't decide which mural to get so we each bought one for my grandson's 4th birthday. Your paint by number system transformed his room! As you can see by the pictures, Captain Brody has the best room in town! Thank you for an amazing experience.

Sincerely,

I painted your Safari Shilouette mural in our son's nursery a few years ago so when it came time for him to move into his big boy room I knew that one of your murals was the way forward.  The buccaneer mural is great fun and ideal for a toddler's room.  This mural took a lot longer than the safari one, but I hadn't really thought about the extra time that multiple colours would take and I've got a toddler and a big pregnancy bump to deal with too.  However, the time it took is well worth it as it really makes for a brilliant little boys room.

I put the whole mural on one wall and on the facing wall I used only the sail, as a backdrop to his bed.  I also personalised it a little, using inspiration from your safari mural and borrowing the monkey and giraffe from that mural.

The soft furnishings and bed were made for the room to tie in with the pirate theme. 

All in all another real success and we are all delighted with the room - it's so nice to be able to produce something special and your murals make it very easy to achieve.

Thanks, Beth Elllis

Hi!  I am the one that did the pirate themed room and got the bedhugger mural from you guys.  As you requested, we took some pictures of the room. We also got the portholes from you as well.

The whole process was just so easy to do and I think because of that it turned out great!  We had so much fun doing it, too. It really was a pleasure.  Everyone has commented that it looks like a professional job and I think that is thanks to your easy to use murals!  I will be using these again and again as we make our way through the rest of our home.

"Circles" was a lot of fun and my two year old loves her "stars". The room is full of energy and just bounces, a lot like my two year old, Maggi Mae. The only problem was that the pages didn't line up and we had to improvise. That was a little stessful, but all in all a fun experience.

When we found out we were expecting our first child we knew we wanted a special nursery. I am a huge Jack Hannah fan and wanted to do a wild animal theme and thought a giraffe theme would be nice. While researching online I stumbled across Elephants on the wall and the giraffe mural design. We were hesitant to order because we were afraid this would be difficult but we were surprised at how easy it was to apply the mural to wall. Once the wall was painted we bought furniture to match the brown spots and purchased a zebra rug from Home Depot and a Zebra print that hangs above the crib

We love nature and animals and for this reason we chose this beautiful mural. This mural also expresses something we love to do… to read. In particular, we love how the elephant is reading a story and the other animals pay attention, but what we really like is how “the king of the jungle” the lion, looks a little bit scared, it is funny. So, when it's bedtime we read to our children and we put as an example the elephant and his friends.

The mural also lends itself to tell stories using the animals of the mural as protagonists; it’s fun and stirs the imagination.

It was definitely fun to paint this mural. We play with our imagination and it was a moment between my husband and I where we experienced a lot of unity and relaxation. Consequently, we were sharing time as a couple which is important for us because sometimes we get so busy making a living that we forget to make a life.

We chose the Jungle Story wall mural for our new baby boy! His dad was deployed so I wanted to have it all done before our son was born and his dad got home! I painted the one wall directly from the template, but when I got done I thought we needed something more! So I took the template and took the hippo and put him on his own on another wall and then took the monkey and the bird and hung them off our sons name! We live right outside of Louisville, Kentucky so I wanted to incorporate the university's mascot somehow. I drew a little cardinal bird sitting on the hippos nose! I really enjoyed painting this mural and designing the whole room around it! When it was all finished I really wanted to do it again, so now I am about to get another mural for my sister's new baby and design that room!!

I was a bit skeptical at first since I am not artistic at all but WOW....

I can't believe how well the mural turned out. The recommended paints did not work out well for me so I ended up using basic artist acrylic paints from the craft store. It took much longer than expected, but it was definitely worth the time. I just sit in the nursery and enjoy looking at it. I hope my babies enjoy it as much as me and my husband do. I will definitely buy another mural from Elephants on the Wall when the time comes to update the room.

Thank you, Amy Tesoriero

Our grandson loves to visit the fire hall and always asks if he can go to work with his dad, so I asked Elephants on the Wall to bring the fire hall to him.  All I had envisioned they were able to bring to life; his name on the building, his dad's badge number on the front of the fire truck and the two boys (representing his younger brother and himself) pointing to the fire truck getting ready to go to a call. 

It was an absolute pleasure to work with this company and nothing was too much trouble, even when I asked if the firepole could look like it came out of the ceiling.

This was painted in my 3 y/o son Rylan's room. He loves knights and dragons! My mother, grandmother, cousin and I painted this and it was amazing to watch it transform! We had a blast and it turned out amazing! Definitely my favorite room in the house!! The bedding is King Arthur from Disney! Thanks so much for this awesome mural!

I purchased the balleria mural which is absolutely beautiful. I picked out some colors from Joann.com. The mural was easy to apply, and I was able to finish the project over the weekend. I got lots of compliments on it. And my daughter really loves her new room. I would highly recommend it to all my friends.

We were struggling to find 'beachy' bedding I liked for our nursery when my husband came across your website. I immediately knew I wanted this mural in my baby's room. We flipped the picture so the crib would be on the far right. We also adjusted some of the paint colors and painted the background for the sand, water & sky with house paint we already had. It was an awesome project we enjoyed working on together and completed over one weekend.

I loved how easy it was to transfer the mural onto the wall!  I used painters tape to adhere both layers (transfer paper and printed paper) to the wall.  Using a pencil, I traced the images.  The lines for the drawing were crisp and easily seen when the papers were removed!  

The paint color guide that came with the papers was very helpful in choosing the colors that would be used on the mural!  I purchased the Americana paints in the suggested colors and simply painted in the lines, just as the directions stated!  When I was finished, the mural was complete! 

Thanks for making a fun wall treatment for my daughter's room!

My teenage son wants me to do a mural on his wall after seeing the finished mural in this bedroom!  

Other information: The twin sized bedding for this room is North Shore by PB Kids.  The window treatment is a grass skirt table decoration hot glued to a curtain rod.  Two colorful leis were cut and hot glued to the grass skirt. The desk and dresser were purchased from a local furniture company.  

I had considered doing a headboard from some old surfboards, but I am still looking for "the perfect ones".

We converted my daughter's nursery into a "big girl" horsey room complete with bedding from Target with horses, flowers, and a pink barn! She loves her grandpa's horse named Hollywood, so we have also incorporated pictures of her riding him throughout the room as well as an old family saddle. She has a large window, so we painted the horse mural onto a canvas window shade allowing "Hollywood" and "Beauty" to greet her anytime the shade is down.

I used the Moose on the Loose Wall Mural, Aaaaah...Doorhugger Wall Mural, Fox and Squirrels Doorhugger Wall Mural and the TreeHuggers Wall Mural for my son's nursery.  All of the murals were extremely easy to use and customize the design of the nursey.  I used all of the suggested colors for the murals with the exception of the mountain color in the Moose on the Loose Wall Mural.  I mixed the suggested color with one of the grey colors to mute the purple tone of the mountain.  I used the squirrel from the Moose on the Loose Wall Mural above the closet doors.  I will be adding my son's name between these squirrels soon.  I used the Aaaaah...Doorhugger Wall Mural and Fox and Squirrels Doorhugger Wall Mural to decorate the window in the room. I used the TreeHuggers Wall Mural on either side of the crib and painted a wire between the trees and added squirrels from that mural and the Moose on the Loose Mural running along the wire.  I just finished painting these murals on Sunday and have not had the opportunity to add the curtains, crib bedding and wall-hanging diaper bag that my mother is sewing to go with the murals.

I wanted to do something special for my newborn son's nursery that would match the jungle bedding I had already purchased. I was so excited to find these murals! I started with the hippo door hugger and was hooked! I have no artistic ability and these were so easy to complete. Everyone who sees the nursery is amazed at how great it looks and my son and I couldn't be happier!

Nothing is cuter than having twins and actually finding a mural with twin babies as well!  Tracing and painting the moral was very easy to complete.  Time consuming due to the size, but we were excited to have the size of this mural versus spending large amount of money on paintings/pictures, when this is more gorgeous and fits over two cribs (hard to find without buying more than one picture)

Thanks, Melissa Maitre

We decided to do a tree theme in my son's nursery/guest room.  We painted the main wall green with the dark brown Fun for Boys silhouette.  We were easily able to fold the stencil in half and make a symmetrical tree for the middle of the room to make it fit better.  Then on all the other walls, we painted colorful trees to go along with the silhouette.  I loved how easy the this was to paint, and how simple it was to customize for what we wanted.  We get SO many compliments on this room.  Thank you for such a wonderful product!!

I purchased the bedding through jojo designs and matched the colors to the bedding. 

I was really worried I was just going to make a big mess of the nursery but I was amazed at how easy it was to do. Everyone who has seen the nursery says it looks like I had it professionally painted. The hardest part was finding the colors to match the bedding. Tracing and painting were easy and I actually found it to be a fun relaxing project.

With our Elephants on the Wall mural it was easy to make our mural truly custom.  The nursery space is small and awkward so the Menagerie of Doorhuggers mural was a great choice.  With custom color choices and a little bit of tinkering (the fabric has tigers rather than leopards) we were able to make the mural match our son's bedding perfectly!  I was able to trace and paint the mural over three days of baby's nap time.  Thank you for a wonderful, easy-to-use product.  We couldn't have done it without you!

Using everything was super-easy!  The concerns that I initially had were ties to the pages being level, but the lines running at the top of each page made those fears go away!  I taped everything together and then onto the wall.  In no time it was done.  The one piece of advice that I will offer to the novice painters (like me) is to get decent angled brushes that hold paint and slowly work your way to the borders.  It took me a little while to get the hang of working with the brushes, but once I did, it was a breeze. 

The room we painted is our baby's room - due this Monday!  We weren't how we wanted to decorate, but when I found this mural, the plan came together easily.  We found this really cute Carter's brand baby bedding (from Baby's R Us) to match the jungle theme along with their matching accessories.  I also hung some thin vertical shelving and we got a bunch of stuffed jungle animals.  The pulls I found on Esty.com.  The only problem we had was hiding some of the mural behind a piece of furniture.  But due to outlet placement, entry doors, closet doors and windows, we were out of options and had hide some of our work. 

Thanks again for the ease the project and I will be ordering again when the time comes!

Hello, painting a mural of elephants on the wall was a nice experience, cause I really like manual labor, but being of 5 months of pregnancy was a bit hard to paint the bottom of my mural. However I will recomend to do it! The satisfaction of having done it by your self is amazing plus everybody has admire my mural.

I really enjoyed painting this mural. It was time consuming but so worth the work. Our walls are textured which caused some of the traced areas not to be quite dark enough.  I was able to reference the picture and easy free hand. I liked how detailed the mural was but not so much that it made it difficult to paint. It was shipped quickly and I would certainly recommend these murals. I decided to frame out the map with stained wood to add addition dimension to my son's room.

I loved painting these murals. We did this room for our then almost 3 year old, as we needed the nursery for her sister's arrival. Kennedy helped pick out the bedding, and I did all the painting. I worked a little on the mural during nap time and after she went to bed each day, and every time she woke up she asked to see her new room. She loved watching the picture unfold as it neared completion. We love your products, and will be using them again in the future.

Undertaking the project of painting this scene for our first grandchild seemed overwhelming at first But the ease of following the directions and pattern built my excitement and confidence.  I ended up using wall paint with primer from Home Depot which worked perfectly.  It only required one coat and the coverage was great.  I added a Lorax ..."who speaks for the trees " and a penguin climbing momma giraffe's stairs/neck.  The compliments are never ending!  Thank you for a wonderful product!

Thank you! I had so much fun painting this mural!! I am not artistic in the slightest but when we found out we were having a little girl I knew I wanted to do something special for her room. The little girl swinging in the tree was so perfect for our family! Her room is all done in pink and brown and her Daddy is a tree trimmer so it fit in so well! My best friend and I got the whole thing done in just one day and I couldn't be happier with it! Thank you so much for making it so easy to make her room so unique and beautiful! :)

We used the Happily Ever After mural. We changed the colors to what she liked. We also used the birdbath mural kit and her favorite stuffed animal is Fox in Sox so we added him next to it.

I painted two murals the large hula party and the small monkey in a tree.  These were so easy that my 10yr. old daughter was able to help me paint.  I put these murals in my daycare playroom and the kids love the silly monkeys.  Having the sign say "It's a Jungle in here" is very appropriate for a room filled with 8 children under 5 yrs. old.   Each week they would look forward to seeing what else was painted and always comment on which animal is there favourite.  I would recommend this to anyone, it adds so much to a room.

When I first saw the mural that I ended up getting from Elephants on the Wall I just fell in love with it. It reminded me of growing up with my twin sister and neighbor. We loved to climb trees and this mural reminded me of all the times we spent at the neighborhood park in "our tree"! 

I actually wish they would change the boy in the tree to a girl with her pig tails hanging down!!

A friend helped me finish the mural and she is so artistic, she brought it up onto the ceiling.  She also painted my daughters name on the opposite wall. I love this company's ideas and plan on doing my sons room as well.

It was very easy to start myself and I have zero artistic ability (my twin got that gene)! We put my daughters 7 month foot prints on the bottom by the light purple tree. We are not yet done with the room, but have a huge step done! Thanks Elephants on the Wall!!

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!

When designing a nursery for our baby-to-be (who we didn't know the gender of), 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!

I was so surprised how easy The silhouette jungle 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!

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!

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!

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.

The mural was very simple to transfer to the wall and the outline of the mural was easy to follow. The final product had wonderful detail and looked fantastic in the baby's room.

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".

This is the second mural I've bought from Elephants on the Wall and I still love how professional it looks even though I am the one that did it!  We bought a new house and my youngest daughter's room has one odd angled ceiling and I knew that would be the best place for it, that way the mural doesn't get blocked by any furniture and the mural goes perfectly with her bedding that we had made and all the accessories in her room!!  I used colors that went with the color scheme of her bedding and I personalized the sign of the boutique with her name!  I've had several comments from friends that think it looks professionaly done as well, they just don't realize how easy it actually was thanks to Elephants on the Wall!!

We have purchased two murals from you in the past for my sons room. 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.  Her room was purple to begin with so we just ran with that color scheme.  Now she is in cheerleading and her teams colors are purple and black.  Go figure!  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! 

Thanks for helping me make my little girls room fantastic!
