Elephant love

Way back in April, I told you about an awesome item that I won in a blog giveaway at Mix And Chic – a wall mural from Murals Wallpaper in the UK. Well, it took hubby and me FOREVER to decide which mural we wanted. I, of course wanted something coastal and beachy. But hubby wanted trees or a landscape. What to do, what to do… why, an elephant, of course! This is the mural we finally agreed on:

Last year, I was totally blown away by a kitchen on The Block that included a huge rhino photo on the wall in the eating area:

So the elephant caught my attention because it has the same sort of vibe of a really big cool animal waling towards you :-) And hubby likes that it’s also got landscape, which kind of makes you feel like you’re right there. All in all, a great compromise that we’re both really happy with :-)

We’re going to hang the mural on a wall in the basement, and the whole space is going to be designed around it. No, it won’t be an African safari ;-) What I really love about the elephant is that it lends itself to any kind of design…

At the speed we get renos done around here, it’ll probably be three years before our elephant makes it out of the shipping tube and onto the wall! But as soon as we’re got him up, I’ll post some pics.

Thank you Mix And Chic and Murals Wallpaper!
