When I was pregnant I had ideas of grandeur how I was going to decorate my son’s nursery. I went through plenty of decorating books and even bought an expensive image projector so I could easily trace a colorful mural on his wall. WRONG! It wasn’t nearly as simple as it appeared to be. I kept making mistakes as I tried tracing the beautiful animal scene on his wall and ended up just painting over the whole mess. I felt like an artistic failure and gave up on the thought of designing his room.
Two years later his walls were still bare and boring until Greenie2Steps contacted me and sent me an eco-friendly and educational Greenie & Friends whimsical wall art print to review. When I unrolled the art the first thing I noticed was the difference of the texture of the print compared to other adhesive art I tried using in the past. It had a nice fabric feel in contrast to the usual paper or plastic. The print was a large 48 by 12 inches in size, but I was not worried about applying it or making a mistake in the process. All of the Greenie2Steps products can be easily re-applied hundreds of times without losing any adhesiveness or leaving residue behind, so it made me feel at ease during the application.
I decided to place the adorable print right behind his crib which gives him a great view of his new wall art friends that include Greenie, Garrett, Lenny, Geraldine, and Taj. I’m not concerned with him being to close to the art because it is safe and non-toxic. The company uses all eco-friendly water based EcoSol inks, water based laminates, and water based adhesives. He can safely touch it and stretch his imagination as often as he likes too!
I love how just one print made such a huge transformation in the feel of his room. Plus, it also sends him a nice educational message on the importance of caring for the earth! Each one of the Greenie2Steps characters were carefully crafted to have a story behind them and inspires my son to learn about the environment.
When finances allow, I would LOVE to purchase one of the HUGE 90 x 40 inch Green2Steps Eco-Murals for the adjacent wall! The murals are absolutely gorgeous and would take my son on an a daily imaginative journey. Currently there are 3 available murals including Jungle Excursion, Underwater Adventure, and Skies over TelleyGreen. Take a look at the incredible Underwater Adventure…

“Introducing Greenie2Steps – Fun, Educational and Eco-friendly Wall Art for Children of all Ages
New whimsical wall art from Greenie2Steps is now available. Five original peel-and-stick prints by artist Joanne Coughlin depict characters including Greenie, the eco-friendly elephant, and her friends from TelleyGreen. The brightly colored and engaging characters can be moved easily from room to room without marring walls or leaving residue.
Boston, MA (PRWEB) July 29, 2009 — Greenie2Steps, the creation of three Boston female design professionals, has released an original collection of whimsical wall art that is both educational and eco-friendly. The peel-and-stick prints depict the adventures of Greenie, the eco-friendly elephant who travels the world-teaching children of all ages how to make our planet a better place to live. Starting July 29, 2009, the first prints of Greenie and her friends are available at www.greenie2steps.com.
The original Greenie2Steps whimsical wall art collection is fun and safe for infants, toddlers and children of all ages. Made in the USA with eco-friendly materials, the wall art can be removed and relocated hundreds of times without marring the walls or leaving any residue.
The new Greenie2Steps whimsical wall art collection includes oversized prints of Greenie and her best friends: Garrett her brother, Geraldine the Giraffe, Lenny the Lion and Taj the Tiger. Big (18″ x 24″ – $54.00), Huge (24″ x 36″ – $79.00) and Jumbo (36″ x 48″ – $149.00) print sizes are available. For a limited time only, Jumbo print purchases will come with a free 8 ½” x 11″ oversized peel-and-stick postcard from TelleyGreen, Greenie’s eco-friendly island home. The first in the series of Greenie2Steps postcards can also be purchased separately ($9.00), personalized if desired ($14.00). Full-sized, interactive, peel-and-stick wall murals of Greenie’s adventures are coming soon, with special orders available for any size.
