it's a jungle in there

this is the jungle themed room we are creating for our youngest son Elliott.  I wanted to have different objects look like different animals throught out the room.  I am going to add a giraffe by the window but I need help with the blank spot between the trees.  The trees are made from Masonite (it's like peg board but with no holes)  The branches we bought at hobby lobby for half off, because if they weren't we would had to make a desert themed room. 
this blanket Tricia pieced from another blanket to fit his bed

the tent is framed with some 1x2 and fabric purchased at joann's in boise.  Tricia also sewed on some loops and we will add some pegs to finish it off.  The Elephant I made from scratch

the night stand was black with a silver drawer I taped it than cut the tape in a stripe pattern to match a zebra.  I created the bed all from scratch and painnted it to look like a reptile.  we bought the letters on the branch from Hobby Lobby in Boise and glued on leopard print fabric.  The stuffed owl tricia Made.


The Grass is also Masonite.  the sun is made from Spray Insulation.  I really wanted a lot of textures in his room.  The dresser I did just like the night stand and choose to give a tiger look.



there is even a spare tire on the back hidden by the stuffed animals
 I wanted his name to look like a leopard on laying on a limb.  I am going to attach a tail to the last T
