Twins – Boy Jungle Safari Adventure Nursery

- The wood letters on the nursery door are plain and unfinished from Michael's for $1 and painted them to match the sage walls. Two walls in the room are creamy beige and the other two are Soft Sage Green.

- I made the Zebra Rug out of Faux Zebra Fur that was priced at $12.99 a yard, I bought 1 yard with a 50% off coupon. I used a hot glue gun and covered a cheap rag rug I found at Homegoods. It was a breeze and I plan on making others for the house in other fabrics.

- The vinyl MonkeyTree wall Decal I fell in love with online at Esty.com. It came in a million pieces but was a breeze to mount on the wall.

- The dresser and mirror were black, I refinished them to match the cribs and replaced the drawer pulls with wooden look pulls from Home Dept for $2.80 ea. It was pretty easy, my husband and I did it in one afternoon.

- The book shelf  is a coat rack I found at a thrift store for $8. I left it in it's natural unfinished state. These books are classic children stories I found at a thrift store for $.50 ea. I had to hang the football onesies with Sneaker feet :-) Too Cute!

- This elephant is one of my favorites, I found him online for $19 and I call him Squeezy, I might keep him for myself! 

- The wicker chest I got from Homegoods for $20, it holds all the baby blankets for now and will transition into a toy chest when they are bigger.

- The Branch and monkey decal are part two of the tree decal from the other wall

- The “First We Had You” verse is a decal I found on worddecor-n-more.com, it was about $25.

- I had one large purchase in mind that I really wanted and it was a giant stuffed giraffe I found online for $350. But once I set up the cribs I had no room so I made one for the wall out of Faux Giraffe Fur and Oaktage Paper backing. It's 7' tall (bigger then the one at FAO) and a real space saver and it only cost $18 (big difference from the $350 I was going to pay!)

- I couldn't find bedding I liked that didn't look to babyish and they all cost a couple of hundred dollars at least - so I created my own set by mixing and matching different pieces I found online in the exact shade of sage I wanted at jcpenny.com (sheets, Dust Ruffle and Bumper). Every piece was under $25

- I made the curtains out of leaf pattern fabric - and with No sewing! Instead I used fusible web to iron the seams together and it holds strong like cement!! 

- The curtain ties are little wooden necklaces I found for $.59 at Christmas Tree Shoppes

- The 3 picture frame was actually a Black 3 section mirror from a discount store that I paid about $27 for and used it as a headboard when the nursery was just a guest room. I refinished it to match the rest of the furniture, turned it portrait side and replaced the mirrors with pictures of baby animals and their mommies that I found on Google :-) All of the pictures I found online I resized, color corrected in Photoshop and printed to size and walla - instant artwork!

- To save space the top draw of the dresser was converted into a changing station - the changing pad will sit on top of the dresser and the drawer will hold all the diapers, wipies and other necessities.

- I found a plain unfinished wooden frame in Michaels for $1 - painted it the same Sage color as the two walls in the room, used a $.69 piece of brown scrapbooking paper for the matting and printed the elephant with baby picture.

- All fabrics and fauz furs were bought at Joanns Fabric Store
