When you guys saw The Royal Tenenbaums, how bad did you want to live in that house? Here’s a family that’s captured the Tenenbaum feel for their daughter’s nursery with a great wall mural. In today’s post, they tell us how they DIY did it and give us a whole bunch of pictures of their house to share with you.
The mural feels Tenenbaum-y because it’s imperfect and hand-drawn, which makes us optimistic that you could do it too. Taylor and a friend drew the trees, as well as the banner and lettering, freehand, and the font was inspired directly by the one from the movie. The piano keys were added with a ruler and a Sharpie. Alternately, there are some great birch tree decals and stencils that you can buy and pair with a Tenenbaum poster, or even finger puppets and paper dolls from Etsy.
Bite their style! Here’s how to get this look:
Birch forest wall decal, $98 on Etsy.
Birch forest stencil, $59.95 at Cutting Edge Stencils.
Royal Tenenbaums poster, $18 on Etsy.

Family File:
The creators of this room, Leah and Taylor, live in Austin, Texas with their daughter Harper. As you probably know, Austin is the home of SXSW, killer margaritas and the world’s largest urban population of Mexican free-tailed bats. Leah’s a photographer and Taylor fronts the band Quiet Company. They’re the kind of couple who have Star Wars cake toppers on their wedding cake and make daily trips to fields of wildflowers. As a thanks to you all for checking out Harper’s nursery, they gave us a free download of their duet from Quiet Company’s latest EP. If you’d like to spend a little more time with these Bunchlanders, here’s a slideshow sneak peek into their life.
