Fallen in love with the Zanzibar theme!

We have the Zanzibar theme for our DS that is on his way.

We have brought everything but the wall paper & cot bumper but we have the head board bumper.

The lamp is lovely, not fiddley at all and the mat really makes the set complete so I would grab those if you had the $$$

Belfie, I was just checking on the kidsline website. The window valance is 152cm x 36cm, so it's bigger than I thought. I might look at getting one too.

Oooh thanks Captain! I'm a duh-head, cos I was on their site & didn't check! My window is 190, so I'll stick to the other accessories - including the mat.

You'll have to post pictures of it when you're finished. I'm sure it will look fantastic.

Oh yeah. The mats are great cause they can go in the washing machine. Definatley comes in handy with little ones around.

Ooh, we have the Zanzibar stuff for DS - I was originally going to get the 'construction' theme but once he was born, it just wasn't 'him'! LOL.

The curtain valance is actually quite big - we have a small window in his room and my mum had to cut it down so it would fit.

We got the quilt (still in the cupboard as you're not supposed to use them till 2 yrs I think? But his cot converts to a toddler bed so I got it with the rest of the stuff and put it away for later), the wall hangings, the curtain valance (didn't get the curtains, just got my mum to make some to match), the laundry hamper...ummm, think that's it? I actually don't like it when a nursery has every little thing, it's too much IMO. Thinking of getting the floor mat too at some stage.

I love the Z theme too. Just thought I would add that we have the mobile from the theme with the insects (name temporarily escapes me!) and to be honest I wouldn't recommend the mobiles from this brand, as you have to wind them up and they are really noisy to wind. My bub likes to stare at it going around and it would send her to sleep apart from a) it doesn't play for very long, even if fully wound and b) if I wind it to play some more the noise of the winding wakes her. On the other hand, it looks beautiful and she is completely fascinated by it. Oh, and it doesn't use batteries so is cost effective, but just thought I would say there are better mobiles out there.
