I had high hopes for making one of them myself, but after purchasing the pattern I became a bit overwhelmed. With work, blogging and just being pregnant I didn’t think I had the time or patience to try and figure this one out. Plus my desire for just one elephant turned into an obsession of having a family of 3.
So what’s a girl to do? Plead with the shops etsy owner and see if I could get to custom make them for me. April was sweet as anything and said yes right away and even offered to do different colors on the banners with contrasting trim and making the baby elephant smaller than the plan originally called for.
Victory! She sent me a picture of the finished products last week, which I shared on facebook. (Make sure to like us if you want sneak peeks and little extras that don’t make it on the blog.)
Yesterday they arrived and I’m even more in love!

{ Baby Elephant aka Baby Pavone}
So sweet. They are stunning and I adore them. I immediately told Jon I was never going to let the baby actually play with them. 🙂 Seriously though with their eyeballs I thought it was best to save them as toys for when he is older, but for the time being they will just look pretty in his nursery.
Best part of this post is that even though April mainly only sells patterns she is open to doing custom elephant orders just like mine above. Contact her via her etsy shop for a custom listing. The little baby elephant was a bit difficult so that size is not available for custom orders, but the Mommy & Daddy size is available for only $25 plus shipping!
I love these elephants – they are so adorable. What great additions! We also have elephants throughout our house (my favorite is a robin’s egg blue porcelain one). With the meaning of strength, honor, stability and patience, you can’t go wrong with more elephants!
That is it! I love your elephants! I showed my husband your post and he thinks these elephants are awesome. We are definitely getting one for our babe (that no one knows about yet).

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
So so cute!
