As a parent, I want to do everything I can in order to make my babies' childhoods magical. After all, kids have huge imaginations, and often make believe they're in their own special fantasy world. Whether they're slaying a dragon, swinging from branch to branch with a group of silly monkeys, or even swimming in coral reefs among vibrantly colored fish, imaginative play is one of the most treasured parts of just being a kid.
One way to help nurture a child's bigger than life imagination is to help them create a space of their own that takes them out of their ordinary surroundings. There are several ways to do this, from themed bedding, furniture, and even dress-up clothing and other props. Another great way to transform a room is to use wall murals, decals, and stencil kits. I recently got the opportunity to work with a small, family owned company that is taking the home decor world by storm. My Wonderful Walls is owned by a husband and wife team in Chattanooga, TN, Michael and Stephanie Goins. Mr. Goins, who is a graphic artist, was painting a wall-mural in his son's room in 2007 and realized that a lot of other parents might want to do the same, but may not be as artistically inclined as he is. So he came up with the concept of wall stencils that anyone can use, whether they possess the skills of Van Gogh or not, and My Wonderful Walls was born.
My Wonderful Walls has so much more than wall stencils, though. For those who desire something a little less permanent in nature, such as renters, they also carry great wall stickers and even ready to hang canvas prints that will have your little one's bedroom or playroom looking amazing in no time flat. They have several fun themes to choose from that are sure to delight any child. From excursions into the deepest jungles to a fairy wonderland to a day on the farm or even a trip into the depths of space, My Wonderful Walls has it all. They even have simpler designs such as Polka Dots, Fabulous Flowers, and even Family Trees that would be wonderful for older kids and teens! The best part? Many of these products can be personalized and even customized to perfectly match your decor. How cool is that?!

I love the Family Tree Murals! These would be great for the family room or foyer!
Have a little princess? Here's her castle!
Escape to the African Savannah!
Because we're renting right now and plan to purchase a home this summer, I opted to review a ready-to-hang canvas print from My Wonderful Walls. I would have hated to paint a beautiful mural just to say goodbye to it in 8 months. My daughter, Sophie, is obsessed with monkeys. So naturally, I chose a monkey print for her room! While I had the option to change the colors or add personalization to the piece, I opted not to. I love it as is, and I didn't add my daughter's name just in case she outgrows her "Monkey Love" and Xander decides he'd like to hang it in his room later on.
My canvas print arrived quickly and was very well packaged. When I opened it, I was quite impressed with the quality of the product. The stretched canvas was securely attached to the frame, and it even included instructions on how to tighten the canvas back up should it loosen slightly. (This is a common occurrence with stretched canvas prints.) I absolutely love the fun design of the print, too! It features 3 whimsical monkeys frolicking deep in the jungle. They look like they're having a blast swinging on vines and tree limbs! The image is actually quite detailed, down to their little faces and a pair of birds flying in the background. Sophie absolutely loves her canvas print from My Wonderful Walls, too! Check out how adorable this is!
