Mary Jack is an incredible artist with many wonderful pieces. Many pieces allow for diamond or sparkle embellishments wich really bring each of the pieces alive.

catepillar 224x500 The Very Hungry Caterpillar Art

I was stoked when I saw this new art come in. Every kid HAS to remember this book by Eric Carle. This canvas wall art would bring so much color into a boy or girls room. Eric Carle is the acclaimed creator of brilliantly illustrated and innovatively designed picture books for very young children, among which The Very Hungry Caterpillar is his best-known.

Canvas wall art is reproduced in San Diego using the best digital reproduction method currently available, resulting in great clarity and color saturation. After printing, the canvas is stretched by hand over a custom built 1.5” wood frame. The canvas wraps around the sides providing a finished decorative edge. Canvases are exceptionally durable and can be cleaned with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth.
The Very Hungry Catepillar is available in two sizes 24″x18″ and 40″x30″.

The sides of the canvas include a decorative edge, so no framing is required.

These pieces ship in 2-3 weeks.

Check out each of these fun pieces:

Butterfly Room Decor

butterfly Butterfly Room DecorA beautiful Butterfly Room. I pulled together some of my favorite pieces for an adorable little girls room full of butterflies.

First, is this vinyl tree with butterflies flying around. You can choose from over 45 colors for the tree and butterflies. In addition, you can add this cursive Butterfly Dreams name above the tree print or elsewhere in the room.

The print is easy to apply and remove. Vinyl sticker can adhere to moderate textured surfaces.

There is tons of Butterfly Art to choose from, but these prints are my favorite. I love the canvas collage and different paint techniques that merges abstract and natural elements. Graphic artist, Lori Siebert’s paints in pastel colors in a four part of a series – Purple, Orange, Green and Blue. Who wouldn’t love a springtime girls butterfly room?

tea3 Princess Tea Party

I can picture a chic, pink room based around a tea party setup where your little princess can have many afternoons of giggles, dress-up and make believe with friends or stuffed animals. Here are some other ideas that could add to a Tea Party Princess Room:

- Add a few princess poofs to hang on some wall pegs. Invite some friends for a play date and give each of them a poof to wear. They will LOVE feeling all dolled up like real princesses.

- I’m a huge fan of this crown pink chandelier. You could put this above a small table for a tea party. The crown shaped chandelier with little diamonds would add a huge sparkle.

- Customize your princess room with a vinyl crown cutout with their name. Choose any color. You can put this on the wall next to the bed or next to a little table.

- Add a rug underneath a little table. I really like this chic brocade pink rug. Or if you are looking for a round rug, this shaggy pink rug would be a fun choice.

Leggo Wall

leggo Leggo WallWant your own wall art project? I saw this on Pinterest which was also shown on HGTV. Buy a TON of LEGGOs and adhere the green, flat pieces to the wall. You can then build anything you want. It looks like it would quite a project, glueing each of those to the wall, but it would be worth it. Maybe pick one wall or even a portion of a wall for your LEGGO creation to go. Make sure to include a large bin for all little bits and pieces. Also, don’t let the little, little ones around as it could be a big choking hazard. But I see kids and grown-ups alike loving this!
