Paper Wall Animals!

I have less than 6 months to put together a gender neutral nursery. This may sound like a long time but with everything else going on I'm starting to at least get some inspiration going. I've decorated a baby girl's nursery and that was fun and actually quite easy. This time around we don't know if it's a girl or boy so here we go. I have of course looked to Sarah Richardson for ideas. One thing she did recently was added a vintage wall decal to a child's room. It looked great but they are hard to find and pricey. I came across this idea and even though I'm not the craftiest of people, I'm going to give it a whirl. All I have to do is cut out the stencils and find some funky wrapping paper to use. Easy right?! I'll keep you posted on the results. Here is a pic below of what I'm referring to. I'm liking this colour palette of greens, blues, white and black - then once we know just add a bit more blue or a dash of pink! Enjoy...
