I have twins. What does that mean? That I have no time — or at least very little time — to spare for decorating. When my twins were born, I was too busy feeding them, burping them and trying to get them to sleep (hopefully around the same time.)

But I also really wanted their nursery to be soothing and decorated in a way that would delight adults and children alike. I also didn’t want it to look like everyone else’s nursery. So, I went online and began searching for childrens wall murals, kids wallpaper borders, nursery wall murals, you name it.

I looked for a variety of themes, from butterfly removable wall stickers to a pirate wallpaper mural. But the butterfly removable wall stickers wasn’t quite right for my baby boys. I wanted something that would work for when they were older too. And the pirate wallpaper mural was great for older boys, but not quite right for the baby stage. I finally found a nursery wall mural that seemed just right, featuring a pond and a fishing pole and a tree with a door and a window. It was easy to apply (just remember to follow directions and use wallpaper sizing), and even as the boys have gotten older, it’s been great. When they were just toddlers, they even tried to climb into the picture and play on the tree, it seemed so real to them. Plus, when friends and families visit, I always get comments on the “custom” look.
