Jungle Room for Two

Description

More of an animal room, my three year old calls it his jungle room- it was his Birthday gift when he had to start sharing with his baby sister. We opted to put them in the same room rather than give up our guest bedroom. A bit more "cartoony" than I usually prefer, it is still special because he helped pick out the theme :) My goal was to make it a fun room for him to enjoy while still allowing for my girly girl to grow into it (and I didn't want to repaint)!

Design Inspiration

Fragile Planet Collection, Ikea's LOVA leaf canopy

Decorating Style

Ecletic, Budget, Clean

Project Details

I removed the door from the changing table and replaced it with sueded giraffe print fabric. One item not pictured is a small shelf on the facing wall. Originally it had stars and moons on the pegs- I replced them with wooden animals for less than 10 bucks- looks totally custom for hardly any money.

Favorite Items

 I adore the lily pad shag rugs from Hobby Lobby and the mosquito net over the crib. My son's favorite part is the leaf canopy.

Advice

If you are willing to sacrifice a bit of your preferences for your toddler, it is so exciting for them to help. Once the bedding was picked out, I looked to stores like Hobby Lobby for little touches and browsed pictures online for crafty ideas to make it special. It will always be a work in progress!

I LOVE this room. We are doing foster care in hopes of adopting. We are needing a space with a crib and toddler bed that is gender nuetral! I found it! Thank you so much!

thank you! i really just wanted something fun, bright and kid friendly :) now that my daughter is older, i will be taking the canopy down (so she doesn't pull it down on her) and probably getting another leaf canopy to take the place

I love what you have done here.  The burst of color really makes it more fun and very much alive.  I love your addition of the green rugs and the alphabet puzzle mats and of course, the leaf canopy over Nolan's bed!!! Please design my nursery!!!
