The Safari Mom

Posted by The Lovebugs at 7:05 AM
Since Big Daddy Lovebug and I chose not to know the gender of out little one, we decorated our already green spare bedroom with a Safari theme.  A while back I was looking into ideas and Pottery Barn Kids had these adorable animal decals.  The problem?  They were over $100 - EACH!  Sorry, that's insane!  So, we went to AC Moore, spent $10, and painted our own Safari animals.  There is a giraffe watching over the crib, a palm tree with swinging monkey, an alligator creeping behind the changing table, a lion next to the changing table and butterflies and birds scattered throughout.  We already had a white desk and bookcase in the room, so we continued with the white furniture.  Big Daddy Lovebug, or rather Santa, bought me a white rocking chair for Christmas, which is draped with a beautiful embroidered blanket with his name.  We purchased a sleigh convertible bed from Kohl's and the changing table from Babies R Us.  Humorously enough, Benny has not actually slept in his crib yet.  Right now he stays in a cradle in our room.  It's much cooler during this summer (due to air conditioning) and he's close enough for feedings, changings and comforting.
