Jayden’s Modern Safari Nursery

Description

A modern safari themed room on a military spouse's budget.

Design Inspiration

I knew I wanted his room to be safari themed but I didn't want it to be the typical kind that you always see. I bought a lot of the things and painted the colors to fit what I wanted. I knew the colors would be blue, grey, white, and black so I just built the nursery off that.

Decorating Style

Modern with a personal touch.

Advice

Start decorating early on....don't shop at just one store.... take your time and look around until you find exactly what you want. If you can't find what you want, create it yourself!
