This is so, so cute in our daughters outdoor themed room.  We didn't consider that have baseboards in her room when ordering, but with a little modification it have it on the wall without it looking like a floating tree.  Numerous people commented on this at our house warming party recently.  I love that this is the focal point in her room vs. the crib.  We wanting reading to be a life long love for her; we believe the reading area we've created will be the perfect start.
