Jaxon's Nursery *Finally*

A few months ago I mentioned buying a bumper at the resale event we have twice a year. I had been struggling with how to decorate Jaxon's room, since it HAD to have red in it and somewhat go with the GIANT red dresser that Zack had painted years ago when we were first married. I love that thing, so it wasn't an option to change it. The room had to go around it.

The bumper has stripes and gingham and is mostly primary colors. I have always loved monkey's and originally I wanted Sock monkey's but Zack quickly vetoed that idea. :(

Then one day while the children were napping at my nanny job I came up with this...
And while it is really embarrassing to show of my lack of artistic talent, I am pretty excited to show off the finished product and how close it came to the original design of months ago. Geneva did the Barrel of Monkey's and I did the balls around the room.

Without further ado:
Jaxon's room!


Should I put 'balls' under the barrel or leave it blank? I'm torn...


There is a blank spot on this wall because I am going to have Geneva put another monkey with a hotdog in his hand there. Cause how fitting is that? :)

The circles (balls) you added completely MAKE the room - it's just perfect!

Really cute, Jaimey! I love how the white really pops with the blue paint. Claire has a circle with her first initial on it in her room, too. Reminds me that I still need to post HER nursery pics!
