Description
When we started the room, we had no theme because my husband and I couldn't agree on a theme. He wanted a lion theme or locomotive theme. I wanted to do a monkey theme or giraffe theme. In the end, I think it came out nice we ended up doing the Safari theme when I came across the paper lanterns from world market! They were on clearance and that's when the room got it's theme. I absouletly love it! The colors are cream, gold, black, brown & blue.. Everytime I tell people the colors I smile because I know they are thinking why? lol We have updated the baby's room.. check out the blog for details http://youngcheathams.blogspot.com/

Thank you sooo much for your comment. That piano was given to me when I was a little girl. Not sure where you can get one now.

This room is to die for! I can't believe you did this on a very tight budget, it's really lovely! I agree with you with that chalkboard, really fell in love with it too. Where'd you get that lovely piano???
