The Ralph Lauren Seagrass wallpaper and sage green walls really set the scene for my sophisticated safari nursery. I had lots of fun incorporating all the animals in different ways: A Rhino puzzle, life-sized baby giraffe, zebra rocking horse, elephant mobile, monkey jack-in-the-box, animal books and paintings of course. The green shaggy rug resembles the African plains and the white porcelin elephant hooks with the binoculars and vintage safari hat add detail to the theme. The linen chair, mercury glass lamp and Johnathan Adler Morocan pouf to be used as an ottoman were items I already had, but thought they went perfect in the room! I was super excited about my antiqued pine dresser, matching nightstand and whip-stiched burlap drum pendant that hangs from a thick rope... very "Indiana Jones-ish". The custom bedding with blue and grey Chevron contrast a swirly masculine paisley with pops of aqua, gray and white. And no nursery these days is complete without some bunting. Pulled all the colors used in the room and had one custom made for the wall.
Baby Boy Luncheon
For my second child (first boy, though!!) my mom threw a luncheon to celebrate. She was out of town the whole month before, so I got to take creative control, which was so much fun! Lots of time was spent on this website and etsy as well. So I wanted to "give back" to the site and share my special day with you!
