Unique Ideas for Custom Wall Letters

Posted by TinyTotties on July 02 2012

When you’re expecting, one of the questions you’re most often asked is, “So what’s the name going to be?” As a result, couples around the country are putting more and more thought into the names of their children.

Custom made wooden wall letters

Unlike their parents, they’re creating unique and memorable names that stand out, bypassing the Michaels, Susans, and Anthonys of their parent’s age. Once they’ve selected their baby’s name, more and more parents are wanting to display their child’s name in beautiful custom-made wall letters.

Perfect for nurseries and children’s rooms, these wall letters are custom-designing, allowing the parent to choose the font, design, and of course, the name of the set. Hand-painted, these wall letters are durable, high-quality, and easy to install on the wall of a nursery or child’s room. You can opt to hang the name horizontally or get creative and hang the name vertically – whichever you prefer or whichever your room layout dictates.

We love the story of the parents who used their custom-wall letters to announce the name and gender of their child, filming a video of them walking into the nursery, the name hanging proudly on the wall. With one email, they announced the name of their upcoming arrival to their friends and family through this video.

As your child grows older, these letters can also be the tool with which you teach them how to spell their name. Want to inspire them? Opt for custom letters of inspirational words, like dream, explore, or dance.

So what do you think of wall letters? Is it a must-do for a nursery? Or do you prefer to display your child’s name in a different way?

So what are our favorite “Thank You Baby” bedding sets? It’s a tough choice. One of the cutest designs, in our opinion, is the Sweetie Blue Dot 4-Piece Crib Bedding Set. This set is the perfect example of the “Thank you Baby” unique style. It includes a crib bumper, a crib quilt, a crib sheet, and a crib skirt. Made from 100% cotton with a 200-thread count, the set offers superior quality and a gorgeous look. The luxurious feeling of the items combined with the elegant look create a truly unique experience for your baby – and for you!

Your little baby girl will adore the sweet Forever Blossoms 4-Piece Crib Bedding Set. This crib bedding set features a sweet floral pattern that looks decidedly girly, but never cutesy or cluttered. The 4-piece crib bumper features different patterns on each side, which allows you to create a completely different look by simply turning the sections. Made from luxurious materials, this bedding set will brighten up any nursery, especially if you add a few of the matching accessories. We love the lampshade!

Children’s Bedding

“Thank You Baby” Children's Bedding are beautiful and offer superior quality and a clean look. Boys love the Madison Boy Children's Bedding Set because it looks so very grownup!

The set is available in a Twin and in Full Size. The Twin Set comes with a comforter, a bed skirt, and a standard pillowcase. The Full Set comes with a comforter, a bed skirt, and two standard pillowcases. Add a matching window valance and a set of canvas art to complete the look.

For girls, you can’t go wrong with the Madison Girl Children's Bedding Set. The combination of black, gray, white and pink is truly spectacular. The interesting pattern features circles, dots and stripes. The sophisticated wall art and the beautiful gathered drapes complete the modern-yet-girly-look. Fabulous!

Accessories

“Thank you Baby” offer unique, useful accessories to complement their bedding sets. One of our favorite accessories is wall letters. The “Opposites Pink Letter Art” goes beautifully with the Madison Girl Children's Bedding Set and “The Walk” wall letters are a perfect match for The Walk 4-Piece Crib Bedding Set.

We also love “Thank You Baby” toy bags. Toy bags are incredibly useful in the nursery, and these toy bags are also pretty! One of our favorite toy bags is the Opposites Blue toy bag, which comes with welted or scalloped edges and side ties and attaches easily to cribs and toddler beds.

Of course, we shouldn’t forget the diaper stackers! Another genius accessory that prevents clutter and chaos in the nursery, Thank You baby’s diaper stackers come in beautiful designs that complement their bedding sets, such as the Sweetie Blue Dot diaper stacker and the Forever Blossoms diaper stacker.

We are very grateful to be able to feature the Kathy Ireland Home by Thank You Baby bedding sets in our store, because the company’s values align so perfectly with our own values. We both believe that baby’s and children’s products should always be unique, sophisticated, high quality - and affordable.

Personalized Children's Artwork

Posted by TinyTotties on May 07 2009

The nursery looks fabulous. The crib is beautiful; the gorgeous bedding set matches the lampshade and the very handy toy bag. The hard, yet satisfying work of decorating your child’s room is finished.

Or is it?

Hip Kid ArtThe nursery or the playroom are not truly finished if the walls are bare. Bare walls are cold and uninviting in any room, and even more so when it comes to children’s rooms. But where can you find artwork that’s modern, non-kitsch, bright and colorful, appropriate for a child’s room AND affordable? And do you even dare to ask if it can be personalized too?

Normally I would have to say that no, you can’t find modern art for kids that can also be personalized. But recently I happened to come across some fabulous products by Hip Kid Art, a mom-owned company that offers modern, affordable personalized canvas art for children.

So if you’re a mom or a mom-to-be who’s trying to put the finishing touches on your child’s room, or if you’re looking for a truly unique baby shower gift for your pregnant friend, you’ve come to the right place.

Personalized Canvas Art For Children

Go Car Go Wall Art by Hip Kid ArtHip Kid Art features original, modern custom canvas designs that can be personalized with your child’s name, or any other message. The canvas is wrapped around a wooden frame and arrives ready to hang in any nursery or playroom. Each custom piece is available in two sizes: 12x12 and 24x18.

Some designs are “boyish.” I like the Go Car Go design, with its bright red and blue colors. Can you imagine how nicely it would go with the On The Go Crib Bedding Set?

Another favorite for boys is the Trike design, which features sky blue and fire engine red graphics with your child’s name in navy - classic colors for any tyke’s room.

Chocopink Squares Wall Art by Hip Kid ArtSome of the designs are decidedly girly, without losing their clean lines or modern edge. The unique Watermelon design, a reddish-orange canvas with black white and marigold flowers, takes the usual flower motif and manages to turn it into something different, edgy and modern yet fun and girly. The Lavender Flowers design is similar, with colors that are more traditional and “girly.”

My absolute favorite for girls is the Chocopink Squares Canvas Wall Art. In fact, this design is so simple and gorgeous, I can totally see myself using it in other rooms! This design will look absolutely fantastic with the Soho Pink 9 Piece Crib Set by Sweet Jojo Designs.

If you prefer a more gender-neutral approach to decorating the nursery, you will love the Lollipop design, which features a simple white lollipop drawing and personalization in navy on a sky blue background.

Another great gender-neutral option is the Rings design, a lively design featuring circles in blues and browns, with a touch of pink.

Personalized Wall Plaques For Children

Pink Zebra Wall PlaqueEach of the lovely Personalized Wall Plaques by Kimberly Petruska Designs can be personalized with a child's name, birth announcement, or inspiration message. They come in a variety of colors and designs, and at just $29.95 per plaque offer an exceptionally affordable way to personalize your child’s room.

The plaques measures 8" x 10" and may be purchased with a frame or a hanging ribbon. They are also available in a 5" x 7" size with a ribbon.

The very popular Pink Zebra design caught my eye immediately. I love the bold color combination, and the added sparkle around the name. This design coordinates well with the Zebra - Pink 9 Piece Crib Set by Sweet Jojo Designs.

Paisley Pink Wall PlaqueI also ADORE the Paisley Peace design, with a hand-painted name, which features colorful paisleys on a chocolate background with a glittered Peace sign. I find it hip, modern and simply fun to look at. If you prefer more “grownup” designs, you will love this one.

For boys, I really like the Sports Wall Plaque with Hand-Painted Name. It’s a classic, timeless design and it also goes exceptionally well with the All Star 9 Piece Crib Set by Sweet Jojo Designs. Another great option for boys is the Rick's Motorcycle with Hand-Painted Name design, which was designed by bike builder Rick Petko from the popular "Chopper" TV Show and bears his signature. For just $37.95, it’s a unique, decidedly “grownup” look and a wonderful addition to your little boy’s room.

 

Wall Letters: Beautiful and Educational

Posted by TinyTotties on April 08 2009

Look around your child’s room. Something still missing? Here’s a great suggestion: hand-painted wooden wall letters. Beautiful, durable and high-quality hanging wall letters give the nursery room an extra flare and are the perfect finishing touch to any child's room.

Wall Letters Are A Beautiful Decoration

Wall letters are a great way to personalize your child’s room. If your kids share a room, wall letters can be used to personalize each child’s space within that room.

Wall letters are typically large (we offer them in sizes 6", 8", 10", 12", and 14"), bright and pretty. They add a lot of character to the room as the eyes are typically drawn to them when people enter the room.

Wall Letters Are Educational, Too

Wall letters are not just a pretty decoration: they are also educational. Wall letters can help your child learn to recognize letters and spell his name. Wall letters can also help reinforce foreign language skills, such as Spanish or French, should you choose to spell out words in that language.

While the obvious choice for most parents is to use wall letters to spell their child’s first name on the nursery’s wall, there are other fun options. “RAINBOW” and “PRINCESS” are popular choices for girls’ rooms, while “STARS” and “COWBOY” are great choices for boys. Or try “PLAY” or “FUN” in your kids’ playroom. You can also use wall letters to spell out your own special message, such as “WE LOVE YOU” or “SWEET DREAMS.”

Our Hand-Painted Wall Letters

Tiny Totties are proud to offer a brand new selection of hand-painted wooden wall letters. Our wooden wall letters can be used for your baby's nursery, your child's room, or their playroom. They are original works of art and are carefully hand-painted.

Themed Wall Letters

Our wall letters by Kreations 4 Kids are especially unique in that they are hand-painted to match some of our bedding set designs. For example, our Little Ladybug Wall Letters, which are absolutely adorable by themselves, beautifully complement our Little Ladybug 9 Piece Crib Set.

For little boys, try our All Star Wall Letters. This sports-based theme will look great in any boys’ room, and especially in a room that features our All Star bedding theme.

Another favorite for girls is the Pink Zebra Wall Letters – these are simply perfect when paired with the Pink Zebra bedding theme

Custom wall letters

If you have a specific design in mind, we also offer a custom letter option where you can specify any pattern, theme or color and we can create those for you.

With this option, you are in complete control of the style and design of your order. We make these letters especially for you according to your specifications, including size (available sizes are 6", 8", 9", 10", 12" and 14"), font and color. We can match your existing bedding and nursery decor. The possibilities are endless: Just tell us what you want and it's yours!

The process is easy: once you place your order, we ask that you email us your pictures and descriptions to letters@tinytotties.com. To keep communication open, we also ask that you include your phone number so that we can contact you if we have any questions about your design.

Beautiful, high-quality custom hanging wall letters add a touch of class to any room. Order yours today.
