Welcome to the Jungle Nursery

My husband Tim and I went to some markets and stumbled across the gorgeous jungle animal prints you can see in the photos of the nursery. Tim then decided that he would be creative with his painting skills to create our welcome to the jungle nursery.


What brand and color of paint did you use?

The Sky- (It was a half mix of Nipon Admiral interior and Taubmans White gloss paint)
The Grass- Taubmans Ray Green
The Sun- Dulux Bold Yellow
The Clouds- Dulux Ceiling white


If you added stripes, polka dots or other paint effects, tell us how you did it.

Tim used his creative edge and painted the sky, sun, clouds and grass. He had painted the sky, grass and sun with paint brushes and the clouds with a sponge.


What brand of crib did you buy? Where from?

We bought a second hand white 'Childcare' cot from Ebay.


What brand of furniture did you choose? Where did you buy it?

We bought a wood coloured Grotime change table (which we painted white) and a Miyo baby hammock from Ebay. The toy box and book shelf were bought online from Teamson furniture.


What bedding set did you use? Where did you buy it?

For the cot linen we have used Humphrey's Corner Cot Comforter and a matching Humphrey's Corner 3 piece sheet set. They were bought from My Baby Warehouse.


Tell us about your window treatments, lighting, rugs, wall decor and accessories. Where did you buy them - were any handmade?

The curtains were handmade by me (material bought from Spotlight) and the cool rug was bought from Spotlight.
