Baby room

So now that we know we are having a girl, I've started planning what to do for her room. Candace and I came up with the great idea of doing a Monkey Garden themed room. I'm obsessed with monkeys and Candace really wanted to do a flower room, so we just joined the ideas. A few things are going into this room. First, there's a beautiful painting my grandma painted for us a few months ago that we absolutely love and really want to use in the room. Here's what it looks like.

Also, we have a quilt that was given us as a wedding present that Candace thought might go along really well with the painting. Here it is.

So now that we had a super bright color palate to start with, we just needed to decide how to put it all together. We started looking around online for ideas and found a super nice wall sticker of a tree and a monkey hanging off of it. So I decided I would base my illustration on the one I saw online and redraw it myself, adding my own ideas and colors to it. So this is my design of it so far. The colors might still change a little bit, as we try to match it closer to my grandma's painting. I added a crib and a painting similar to my grandma's to this mock up to get a better idea of the whole picture. I think this will look nice. I love the little girl monkey I illustrated here. It's very similar to the original one I saw online, but I added a few things to make her a little more girly.

More coming soon as we get more done. We just bought the crib tonight (which is a little different from this one in the picture). It's time to really get to work and start working on this room. How exciting!
