Meet Anna, the creator behind One Classic Lane

Hi, I am so glad and honored you are here!

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I grew up in Hungary, Europe and moved to the USA when I was 21. As far as I can remember, I have always loved drawing. I have memories of kneeling by the chair at church and drawing while listening to the sermon. Even at college, I was drawing little children on the corners of my books and notes. In my imagination, there was always something that I felt like I needed to draw.

When I became a mother, I wanted to surround my children with beautiful, innocent art so I started to create pictures for their bedrooms and playroom. I have also created art for friends and family, and eventually I developed a desire to carry a line of nursery/children's art for sale that can enhance and elevate many children's bedrooms.

I believe in surrounding children with intentional beauty, innocence and purity that will shape their minds, hearts and their ability to choose what is right even later in life. I especially love vintage style paintings or scenes from by-gone days that seem to evoke a certain innocence and simplicity. Nostalgic pictures to me feel like like a haven in today's loud and rushing world. Timeless style, Old World charm and childhood innocence is what I like to evoke with my paintings.

I also love to dress my children in beautiful vintage inspired traditional clothing. Peter pan collars, smocked rompers and gorgeous knit sweaters with shorts and knee socks became my favorites for my boys. I truly enjoy dressing children as children, for they are only little for a short time. And whenever I dress them up nicely, it makes me want to paint. And whenever I paint, I want to dress them up again. It is an interesting cycle, and I can't help but always be in the middle of it.

I especially enjoy painting in a sweet vintage style. I also dream of creating children's books one day.

One of my favorite moments lately was to see my pattern designs being made into classic garments which brought me so much joy. I also design backpacks, wallpaper and textile products and I am excited to create more patterns and offer new products. I can't wait to add more, I have so many ideas for your babies and children!

My imagination is almost always captured by something I want to paint, I am often in a state of inspiration and eager to create. My favorite mediums are watercolor and acrylics. I throughly enjoy painting heirloom quality art for children, create fabric patterns and different products that speak to them and create a spark in their eyes. It is the best moment when a child likes something I created for them.

I have been fortunate and thankful to be able to design unique products for beautiful brands who share my love for classic style and beautiful details. Hand painted bows, seamless patterns, paper dolls and website illustrations are some of the examples of what I created before. A highlight of mine was when my favorite Parisian children's boutique carried the bows I hand painted. I also sell nursery art and products like backpacks through other small businesses. If you are a business and would love to collaborate, I would love to hear from you. And if you are a mother who is looking to surround her children with beauty and innocence, you are at the right place - I hope you find something you love!

I am always excited to get back to my desk and create something new. Thank you for your support and please never hesitate to reach out with any questions! We can also connect on Instagram at @oneclassiclane where I regularly show what I am currently working on. Thank you for being here!
