The Little Prince is one of my favorite books. Not only am I inspired by this story but I am always amazed that this book pulls rank, right behind the "Bible" and "Gone with the Wind." Antoine de Saint Exupery the author and illustrator not only has a way with illustrations, but the words also are enlightening. The book was published in many languages and this is one of my favorite lines;"It is only with heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye"
I painted this nursery for a little prince inspired by the book "Le Petit Prince." I apologize that the photo does not show my decorative painting up close. Little stars were hand painted around the room for this little prince who has a heart of gold.

This book is a perfect gift for all little boys as well as girls searching for their "Le Petit Prince."
It is a perfect start to a royal library of classics.

beautiful as usual! I'll have to get the book.
I've always loved The Little Prince. Forever a Classic.
What a sweet nursery and I love the idea of sweet baby being surrounded by the little stars.
...and that view from sweet baby's room!!
Always love seeing literature as a theme in childrens rooms. Beautiful rendering of this literary classic.
To my kindred spirit(hehe),
This is too funny... my dad got me this book when I was little. We are not close, but every time I see this back, it brings back that good memory.
Also, I painted stars all over my first nieces room when she was a baby. Along with an angel sitting on a half moon. It was the first mural I ever did:)
Great post today!
I love the illustrations in that book and just realized I don't have it! Must get it for my son. I love what you have done in the nursery - magical!
A Blandings' favorite!
That is one lucky baby :)
What a lucky little one!! And just look at that view from a beautiful room!
classic and sweet style to grow with your friend's 'little prince'. what a dreamy nursery -- do you travel to paint? the excerpt you noted is so true -- the essentials so simple and unnoticed and precious. thank you.
what a lucky couple to have that painted in their nursery. the little prince is my favorite book and I have done a few paintings for my living room in small frames inspired by it. Just LAST NIGHT, I printed a new set of gocco cards with that exact quote on them :)
If I ever have another wee one I am flying you out here and you are going to paint me a sweet mural in the nursery. You'll have plenty of notice. :)
Mrs.French,
Oh what an honor for you to think of me to paint for the" next " baby bliss nursery. Wishing you many more. Hurry up, cause I truly cant wait!
I have never been to your area and from what I see, it looks quite lovely!

I love the Little Prince so much that I bought it in different languages: I have it in French, English, Spanish, Chinese and Hungarian...
Fun, no?
OMG, I love this. I love The Little Prince and to have an entire nursery inspired by it, it's amazing.
A beautiful room! I'd expect no less from you.
