bo's room

Welcome to Bo's nursery!

This is, by far, my favorite room in the house. Every time I walk in, I feel so happy.

We didn't originally plan on having an elephant theme - we sort of fell into it.

I knew that I wanted gray walls and then decided on accent colors of blue and orange.

I wanted something that was boy-ish, but still fun and childish.

(What you don't see: the ghetto Scotch tape holding up the paper fluff balls.)

And Doug agreed readily, because blue & orange are Detroit Tigers colors. 

I've always adored baby elephants, and slowly we started accumulating more & more elephant items.

As Doug said after I came home with an elephant shower curtain, "I hope Bo likes elephants."

How could he not?!   

Look at all these sweet little elephant details:

 

This one's not elephant themed, but it sure is adorable.

There are still a few things I'd like to do 

(add a shelf above the changing table, do a photo collage of Ethiopia pics)

but we are completely functional!

Thanks to all our family & friends for all the delightful homemade touches to our sweet boy's room!
