jungle room

caleb has had a safari themed room for awhile now, but recently abram decided he wanted a "jungle room" too. rather than make 2 similar rooms, i decided to add some special touches to caleb's room to make it fit both of them. abram & caleb both love it and i'm pretty happy with how it turned out too. i basically just drew on the walls with a pencil and then started painting.

this is george, who makes sleeping much funner and easier for abram in his new bottom bunk :)
this picture wouldn't lighten, but you get the idea...the snake wraps around the window and his tail curls up at the end.
bought these cheap, unfinished frames at michael's, painted them and traced letters on some scrapbook paper to make their name plates above the bookshelf. painted a monkey & palm tree, glued them on to make these...

took an unfinished mirror, painted it and glued on the crocodile. this shelf had stars & moons on it from our nursery...glued some palm trees & a monkey on it to make it match. colored with sharpees on the "a" & "c" for the finishing touch!
