Let's recapture child-inspired décor for the adult home &mdash if it brought you joy when you were young, shouldn't it bring you joy now? First, we reconsidered mobiles. Now, we love elephants and their graceful majesty, made cute by these items.

I love those Eames elephants! I would have one, even if I don't have children :)
What a coincidence that you posted this, since there's an open-air exhibition in Amsterdam (my hometown) now to raise awareness about the dire situation of the Asian elephant. The exhibition is called The Elephant Parade. The next Elephant Parade (2010) will be held in London.

I love the JA one. I love elephants and nice links from you two above. And I hate the circus!
This is my favourite - an adorable yellow floral stuffed fellow by Parkhuis Oost http://www.bohemiadesign.co.uk/pakhuis-oost-cuddle-elephant-cat-19-subcat-95-product-858
I LOVE ELEPHANTS! I have a little gold and ruby elephant on my nightstand and in the lounge next to the tv cabinet a large ceramic elephant plant stand that I spray painted glossy black. SO CUTE!
Also I really love a while back you guys did a post on a colourful bright yellow apartment that had on a shelf a large purple metal hippo that was gorgeous.
Elephants are my favorite. Thanks for this post :) I love the bank and the chair.... amazing.

We have an elephant side table that was a favorite piece of my mother-in-law. Everyone who visits our place comments on Huebert, his name. He's made of solid wood, weighs about 50 lbs., and we wouldn't trade him for the world! Great post!
