Monkeying Around

Back in February I decided to paint K's room. I'd these monkey decals from Stampin Up that I wanted to use but I didn't know how to make them fit in the room or what to bring in with it.  I then found these great tree decals and bought some.

Stage one was finding the right colour green paint. 

I failed with the paler tester pot and then got a darker Sage colour and slapped it on.  I was in a bit of a rush, I should have waited for the paint to dry a bit more because repositioning the decal caused a bit of a paint bubble mess. 

First I added the trees and then the brown monkeys.   I didn't know if I should cut the bottoms off above the baseboard or below. I went for above, it may not have been the right answer.  

 I had one turquoise monkey left, he fit just perfectly by the front door.

Finishing touches included a sun light from IKEA, and a blue rug to make a pond.  I do want to put up a leaf too, with a light behind it, but he's still too young and will just pull it off the wall.  Finally I found a cute animal book case at London Drugs.
