Princes & Crows Wallpaper's Little Prince Collection

Parisian artist Alix Soubiran created the Princes & Crows line of wallpaper in January 2008. Soubiran is an artist and storyteller, who credits her grandfather, a celebrated French author and recipient of the Theophraste Renaudot literary prize in 1943 for her passion for storytelling and fascination with stunning wall decor. Her book-filled grandfather's house in the 16th arrondissement in Paris inspired her fanciful designs. She has created a line of paper accessories, 19th century style butterflies meant to be positioned and stuck to the walls according to your fancy, as well as wallpapers that are manufactured and produced in the Los Angeles area.

Her latest designs use the beloved tale of "The Little Prince" as inspiration. Taking fanciful look at the fable, the line features deep sea creatures, imaginary birds and unicorns in space. The paper is designed for children's rooms but is more whimsical and classical than cute. Sea Ballet, shown above, was inspired by prehistoric-looking sea creatures and has a little of the feel of a botanical illustration.

Cinderella Carriage Crib

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Children

I'm a sucker for a good fairytale motif in a baby's room (where else in the house can you go so theme-crazy?) but find most options way too overdone and over-ruffled for my taste. This Cinderella Carriage Crib is another story, however, as it manages to look equally at home directly in a fairytale or in a tastefully decorated room fit for a little princess. Handcrafted by wrought iron furniture maker Corsican it features the iconic pumpkin shape embellished with big carriage wheels, trailing vines, rosettes decorating every joint, and a garland of leaves at the crown complete with little birdies. A beautiful magic pumpkin that won't go anywhere at midnight. $3,759
