As you can tell from the pictures, Dan and I wanted to do a jungle theme because we thought it would be lots of fun and inspire our baby to grow up and be an adventurer. We painted the entire room yellow, and then striped the bottom half of the room with a second shade of yellow and white. I have posted pictures of some of the items that we worked especially hard on!
After we finished painting the walls Dan made me lay down on the floor so that he could trace my body onto the hardwood. I think that he enlarged my belly on purpose! The carpet layers came two days later when nobody was home, so I would like to know what they thought about the odd artwork on the floor. We carpeted not just this bedroom, but our bedroom, and the back hallway as well. It was an excellent upgrade for our house, everything looks much nicer and feels homier. 
My parents gave us this dresser because it was sitting around in their garage. They actually bought this when my brother Nate was born, so it is almost as old as I am. The first time it got painted my Grandpa Graves did it as a favor to my Mom. This time Dan painted it and my mom and I made special pulls for the drawers. I also sewed the dresser scarf, and covered the lamp with fabric to match the theme. I also spent a ridiculous amount of time gluing rick rack onto the shade, but I think it turned out very adorable.
Dan and I bought this crib at a used store and then Dan spent several hours sanding it down and painting it. I think it turned out lovely! The crib set is the only thing in the room that we didn't sew - my mom refuses to make crib bumpers because they are such a huge pain. That's OK with me though because this bedding set is really cute and Dan and I both loved it.
We bought these shelves and painted them to match the trim, and these are just a few fun jungle items that I have found here and there!
My mom and I made curtains and bought these little animals to attach to the window frame. I think that they turned out really adorable. My mom found the tin giraffe at a craft shop in Boise and hand carried it with her on the airplane.
And this is the finished room! I got the rocking chair at a craft store and Dan painted it to match the rest of the furniture. I sewed the pillows out of leftover curtain and lamp fabric to match the room. The little brown rocking chair was mine when I was little, and we are excited for our baby to use it! It was a really fun project and we couldn't be hapier with how the room looks. My little sister is working on some artwork for the two bare walls in this picture, so when the whole thing is done I will put some more pictures up and everybody can admire the finished project. 
Oh yeah, and for those of you who don't already know, we found out the gender of our baby. I know that we swore we wouldn't - but it was really an accident! We had to have a 3-D ultra sound and those things are incredibly lifelike. They leave very little to the imagination so it was impossible not to find out the gender. When I tell people that they automatically assume that we are having a boy because we couldn't miss a little winky in the picture! But alas, not so. It was more of what we didn't see - we are having a girl! Both of us are very excited and we have already decided to name her Alma.
