I have been thinking for quite sometime on how I would decorate baby boy #2’s room. With Squishy I went very traditional. I bought the bed in a bag set, and a few wall decals. We picked out a kick butt fan to match the airplane theme, and I found a quote that I had made into a wall decal.
Everything came together, but as he grew I was already making changes. I found that we barely used half of what was in the bed in the bag, and as he got bigger I added extra touches to make the room come together, like a painted mirror, and some personalized wall art.
Gorgeous hand painted art from Lad and Dad on Etsy.
This time around I wanted to steer clear of the one stop themed room, and build it with individual pieces. Hopefully this will keep me from wanting to make too many changes as he gets older.
When my son was about a year old I found this painting at a local craft fair. It was a great price, so I bought it. The only problem was I had no place to put it… until now.
The theme of my second son’s room will be modern animals. Specifically elephants, giraffes, and alligators. Our colors for the room will be Aqua, Lime Green, Brown, and maybe a splash of Orange!
I have found several things I would love to add to his room.

Oh I love it, it reminds me of an animal room I had for my boys in which I painted on the walls a giraffe eating the “leaf” like valance. An elephant sprouting water, a large tree with a branch and a toucan resting on it and a coconut tree.
Can’t wait to see what it looks like when it is all done.
Those are some great choices. His room is going to be awesome.
Great ideas! I love the elephants! Especailly that adorable mobile! I have no idea what to theme baby #3’s nursery with…
I love the ideas that you’re going with! So cool you had a picture to work out from.
So cute!
Very cute choices!
Oh I love it. C’s room was done in animals . Love your colors and well all of it!
Those are some cute ideas.
These are so cute! I love Etsy and find so many great things on there! Have you bought bedding from there before? I found some for our baby #2 but wasn’t sure about quality and such.
I haven’t bought bedding there, but I feel confident that I can see what the quality will be based on reviews and talking with the sales person… We will see!! What are you doing for baby #2??
I like the mobiles.
Oooo, I LOVE that theme! That’s just the cutest!
Thank you Liz! I hope it comes together!
Great ideas! I love elephants and giraffes so much!
My son love elephants, he’d love this room.
I love the animals you’ve picked for his room.
Love the theme and especially love the color scheme choices! Love the first bedding set and the first mobile choices best. I can’t wait to see the final outcome 🙂
Thanks Marcie! I can’t wait to have it all come together!
I love an animal themed nursery. I kept my son’s rather neutral, so that as he got older it wasn’t too difficult to change. Now that he is almost 10, I’m glad I did. It definitely paid off. Can’t wait to see your final outcome!
That is my hope too!! Glad to hear that someone made it work!! 🙂
Oh my gosh it’s all awesome! But I LOVE the map and the first mobile. 🙂
Thanks Amanda!! Me too!
I love the map and it would grow with him for years.
That is what I am hoping for!!
Love the elephants! What a cute theme!
Thank you Elaina!! I love it more and more everyday!
I love it so creative I wish I had time to do things like that
Haha! I haven’t found the time to do anything but think about it yet! 🙂
Hey Em! I have a couple elephant things you might love. 🙂 I got them when MA was small, but have no use for them now.
You are so sweet to offer!! I wish they would have worked out!! Even though that one picture has a mobile shown on our crib it was totally rigged to stay up, but was removed pretty quickly since it wasn’t safe!
I love the mint and grey!!
Oh thank you!! 🙂
Really love all those animal prints, they are so fun and still modern.
Thanks Kathleen! That was my hope!
ok so i love that bedding!!! i went with winnie the pooh for my daughter so that i could reuse it for future kiddos (i know super lame!) and i love it…it’s a little more vintage and i have some older pieces that go really well with the room! i wouldn’t trade it for the world, but i do love that elephant bedding!
That isn’t lame at all!! It’s always great to find something you love and can re-use!!
I love all the elephants!!
Love them! Baby girl doesn’t have a theme much. Just girly 🙂
That works!! 🙂 I bet she has a great room!!
I love the elephants!
Thanks Rachel!
These are so cute!
I thought so! Thanks Debra!
It is going to be such a cute nursery !
Thank you for Theresa!!
I love modern nurseries. I think the elephants are my favorite
Thank you Jennifer!
I totally see how it would be unsafe! Our crib didn’t have the upper ledge on it so it worked, but at any rate I love your crib. 🙂
I was so bummed!! I guess we will just have to hang something from the ceiling… 🙂
