The Prince

A blog reader recently inquired about the painting that hangs in our nursery. We call him The Prince! He was purchased at a local antique fair soon after we began designing our child's nursery. The painting does not have a historical provenance but it is thought to have been painted in the 1920's. The Prince's Moorish style provokes an exotic influence. At first sight we fell in love with this sweet little oil on canvas.

Originally we had decided to create a nature inspired room with lots of birds. This quickly changed when the The Prince entered our home. His fez covered head gave the room an entirely different feel. The room instantly became an eclectic space with an old world vibe. We are hoping our little one will treasure him.

As for the reader that inquired... thanks for all of the great information and leads that you gave us regarding adoption resources.
