Jungle Babies Nursery
by Amanda Javens
Jungle Babies Nursery
When I found out I was pregnant, I was so excited that I wanted to start on the nursery as soon as possible! Keeping this in mind, since I didn't know the sex of the baby yet, I needed a neutral theme. I also thought that if our next child had grown out of it, I could always unpack it and reuse it despite the sex of the next child. At the other shower we had, we had little home made mint baskets made of plastic canvas that matched his room, each of them have a different jungle animal face and we set those on his dresser. On one of his shelves we used baby block stickers that spell out "Baby Boy". And we also hung a frame that has a spot for each month until he is a year old and then another that has a spot for his footprint and hand print. The crib has shelving in the back where I put all the extra diapers. I put a basket underneath the changing table for things I would need while changing him. I then stored the extras in baskets on the top shelf of his closet. I also bought a plastic storage container with three wide drawers for his towels, washcloths, extra bedding etc... I have a roll away drawer under his crib where I stored larger blankets and extra receiving blankets. In the armoire, I put 4 storage containers with lids so that dust couldn't get in. One has pacifiers, another has health items, etc... on the next shelf I put two baskets. One has burp cloths and another has receiving blankets for easy access. The next shelf I have another basket full of bibs and a little Micky Mouse container that someone made with some odds and end things I will need later. We took our time with our Jungle Babies Nursery. We started in January because it was winter and we were bored! We finished in May, because that's when our last shower was - we finally had everything to complete it. It was a slow process, we took our time, and were in no rush. Everything was pretty simple. I think the most time consuming part was painting and making sure the border was level. It also took my husband a while to get the dresser stained and sealed because the weather didn't permit and it had to be done outdoors. Everything else was pretty easy... I was so excited to do it all and then when it's over you wish there was more! I think the funnest part was just doing the finishing touches... putting the crib set in... putting the mobile up, finishing organizing because FINALLY you can stop and look at the finished project and show it off! I pretty much did everything on my own. My husband helped me paint and hang things on the wall. I did the decor and design and I basically said where to hang it. What I love most about the Jungle Babies Nursery is that everything came together so well and it's fun and full of bright colors for him! Also that you can tell we put time into it for him. I also love that he won't grow out of it right away!
