Polka Dots - a Modern Touch

Geometric shapes, specifically circles, have been the "mod" design for a bit. And, it will probably stick around, since circles are clean, simple, and fresh.

So, I have painted the cutest polka dots for quilt clips! They can be any combination of color that you desire. Have a set all the same, or mix it up.

My first set was for the Land of Nod's "All Creatures Great and Small" bedding (love that set!). The colors I used are light blue, denim blue, and white. Other colors that I have done the polks dots in for this set are light green, aqua, burnt umber, orange, pale orange, and cream.

Kidsline's "Mod Turtle" bedding is another adorable set that the polka dots look fabulous with. For this bedding, I did pale blue, with burnt umber and white.

Beavers for Enchanted Forest by Lambs and Ivy

This bedding set is so refreshing! The Enchanted Forest is unlike other baby bedding in that it has a forest theme to it, perfect for nature lovers. The modern touch of geometric shapes of teardrops and circles in most of the squares and the neutral colors with splashes of light blue sets off the animals in the quilt.

A customer wanted the little beavers to hold up the baby's quilt, so I had the shape custom cut to match. I then handpainted the beavers to coordinate with the bedding. I used a bambi brown and country twill on the beavers' bodies, and then nutmeg brown and black on their tails. Of course, I couldn't forget the white buck teeth!

Other options for this quilt would be owls, birds, mushrooms, polka dots, or leaves. Or even custom cut squirrels or leaves.

Nearly all of my designs can be done in almost any of my nursery decor items!

PBK Spring Butterfly in Pink - Custom 9 inch Letters

As I promised, here are the letters in the Pottery Barn Kids "Spring Butterfly" in pink theme!

CATHY is done in the bubblegum pink to really "pop" off her bedroom wall. Accenting the T and the Y are pale pink stitches around the edges.

Other colors I used in the set are dark pink, dark yellow, light yellow, meadow green, and white. The ribbon is vertical stripes of green, pink, white, and a bit of brown.

Cherry Blossom by Kidsline

The Cherry Blossom bedding is one of my absolute favorite patterns. As a kid, I used to think it was a faux paus to put pink and red together, and now I love to do it all the time!

For this set, I handpainted the backgrounds of the lightswitch plate and the 9 inch letters in a very pale pink. The blossoms are done in red, dark pink, and white, with accents of pale pink and light pink. Other colors include burnt umber, sage green, and light green.

Are you absolutely in love the Cherry Blossom design, too? I would be happy to handpaint beautiful artwork for your little girl's room. Please email me at info@littleelephantcompany.com with your desired items, and I will send over an estimate.

***NEW ITEM*** - Diaper Stacker Hanger

I am so excited about this brand new item that I am now making. It began as a request from a friend, and I have made the first one to go into a gift basket for my neighbor:

Diaper Stacker Hanger

Why do you need one of these to complete your nursery decor? Not only are they absolutely adorable, but a very functional piece of wall decor.

With a thick and sturdy knob, you simply place your diaper stacker's top over the knob and let it hang. The knob is very subtle and does not protrude like a long peg.

The plaque is hung by either a ribbon (stapled for security) or a sawtooth hanger (your choice).

I handpaint the plaque in your choice of colors. This one is done in pale orange, iron oxide brown, and regular orange. I added the little polka dots in the corners to draw in the color and design from the cute giraffe.

You can choose any design for the Diaper Stacker Hanger that will coordinate with your nursery's theme. I can also do a custom design for you!

It may be a while before I get these added to my shopping cart, but in the meantime, contact me to order yours today. Depending upon the details, number of colors, and the center design, they will be between $14.99 and $39.99 (the above giraffe one in 3 colors would be $22.99).

Here is the completed gift basket with 3 quilt clips, diaper stacker hanger, nite lite, and Tag Blankie:

Pottery Barn Kids "Spring Butterfly" in Pink

Another Pottery Barn Kids set! The butterflies and daisy turned out just so cute and look perfect with the quilt.

The daisy is a dark pink with pale pink and dark yellow accents. The leaf is in meadow green with leaf green accents.

The first butterfly is dark yellow, pale yellow, white, dark pink, and meadow green. The second butterfly is dark pink, bubblegum pink, pale pink, pale yellow, and meadow green.


This set would be $29.99 if you would like one for yourself. I would be happy to change up the color combinations as well - just contact me!

I am now working on a set of wall letters in this theme, so look for them at the end of March or the beginning of April!

"Teddy Trucks" by Sumersault

This little teddy bear is so adorable! I just want to poke his little tummy. : )

Little teddy here is created to go with the Teddy Trucks bedding by Sumersault. He is an antique white with a vintage white (cream) belly. His details are done in nutmeg brown.

It's difficult to judge colors just from pictures on a computer screen, and I usually do a pretty good job. I am thrilled that teddy's colors are "right on." This teddy bear quilt clips is $7.99 per clip and is available by special order only at this time.

It's amazing what a little quilt clip adds to a nursery's decor. You can custom order quilt clips and almost any other nursery decor item in my custom designs to coordinate with your theme. Contact me today!
