With DS I had a cross stitch pattern I fell in love with that was all jungle animals. So I did the cross stitch and based everything around that. I found jungle stck arounds that were orange, yellow and lime green predominantly so followed on with those colours, buying lemon sheets, apple green blankets, a green jungle lamp and laundry hamper, and lots of soft jungle animals to sit on his shelf. I aslo covered some boxes with jungle print fabric as a feature, and made a matching cot organiser. MIL gave him green/lemon butterflies to hang over the change table so it all came together well.

This time I used the colour of the furniture to inspire me as we are using the same stuff. It's all dark brown wood and the rocking chair has beige cushions. I decided I needed another colour that went with brown and beige and picked deep red. Also found a chocolate teddy bear and then decided that the theme would be teddy bears, as the browns and beige's of their fur goes so well with the furniture and red feature wall. I am making soem wall hangings and a little bear mobile to hang oevr the cot. Using a beige cot blanket, cream sheets and embroidering chocolate bears with red bows on them.
