Safari Nursery Pictures

As you can see from my safari nursery pictures, I am a huge animal print person. If an item has print, I LOVE IT! As my husband and I have made the decision not to find out the gender of our baby, I thought it best to put my artistic abilities to work and come up with a gender neutral safari nursery theme!

First I chose the
animal print baby bedding for the crib. This was a really important step in decorating the baby's room since everything else would be based on this and it took me months to finally decide whether I wanted giraffe print, a cheetah print or even a zebra print baby bedding set.

Then came paint color selection; I spent hours at Home Depot looking at colors and textures. That is where I found the cutest Christopher Robin Tree. It was on a sample of Disney paint. Once I found those decorations, I was on a roll!

I painted half the nursery wall yellow and half green, separating the colors with a blue, white and orange stripe that you can see on the left side of the baby's jungle safari nursery pictures. All these colors were matched up with the baby's bedding which is the Cocalo brand.

Once the walls were dry I penciled in the trees (that I had a sample of) then I hand painted the colors. I purchased the giraffe wall stickers to match the bedding and to add a little flare to my trees.

My mother-in-law made a jungle themed baby quilt to hang on the wall and I threw a leopard print rug down and Wha-la! My sunny and fun gender neutral nursery was complete!

I love your baby's safari nursery pictures! Would it be possible for you to send some photos that give us a closeup view of that gorgeous crib set and could you tell us the name of the bedding collection? Good luck in winning the baby nursery pictures contest!
