Description
Small in size. Big on elephants. Bennett’s room is only 10 feet by 9 feet. We struggled to find furniture that would fit without sacrificing comfort. The walls are painted a soft robin's egg blue. Accent colours are grey, slate, and white. The room features several different sizes, styles, and textures of elephants.
Design Inspiration
Bennett’s room has been a work in progress since the day he was born. The only items we decided on before his big debut was the Jenny Lind crib and the glider. The elephant theme evolved after discovering a wall decal on etsy sold by LeoLittleLion.
Decorating Style
We wanted the room to be calming and Bennett friendly.

Favorite Items
Our favourite item in the room is the bookshelves. They take up less room than a bookcase and display the books like artwork, front facing. Bennett's Grandpa built them by following an online tutorial.
Advice
Embrace a small space.
Cute room. I adore those elephant hooks and elephant mobile.
I love how my elephant mobile looks in your room! You did a great job!
The elephant hooks, the elephant prints, the elephant figurine and the elephant colors are so nice.
Did you have a hard time getting the crib across the border? I am determined to have a Jenny Lind but can’t find one anywhere here in Canada!
Hi! My parents drove it home from Arizona. It was so worth it! Good Luck.
