Typed out a long post yesterday and then lost it! Ugh! Anyway, to summarize: 1. Consider getting neutral bedding and adding in your jungle theme with accessories like just the pillows and removable decal. That way, if your son just LOVES something else down the road, you can easily change it with the pillows and other minor accessories. 2. Your son's bed looks a little high-- though I have short kids, so maybe not for him. There are really cute stepstools with a jungle theme-- some are mass produced (check Target and Amazon) but you can also find them on Etsy. 3. Since you are open to removing the TV, I'd say not to put art supplies in there since I find bedrooms not to be the best place for that with young kids. (Depends on your child, though.) You could have baskets of books and open-ended toys. A radio/CD player is always nice, too. Could be a fun dance space! 4. I'd either lower the white shelves if they are for your son-- they do not look to be at a child's eye level, OR keep them up high but use them for breakable items. It's a good idea to literally get down at his level and see how accessible things are, what his view is, etc. Hang things for HIM, not for adults. VERY cute room!

I don't know whether my suggestion is going to help you now or not as I'm a bit late to it, but still contributing it here with a hope. I would like to suggest you to have allotted one plant to care for each student. You have to let them know how to take care of their plants and help them do it on a regular basis. Obviously, after a few days, they will get used to the idea and will be ready to do it on their own. The intention behind allowing each kid with a plant is to bring them with more responsibility and enthusiasm towards what they are doing. I'm a maids trainer and now working with a housekeeping company in Dubai known as HousekeepingCo. Whenever I conduct basic gardening training sessions for the housemaids and nannies, I often instruct them to create this kind of habit among the kids they are taking care of. Please let me know if you need anything more from my side. Regards, Anna M

It appears to be an odd shaped closet. Can you post a floor plan of it? Have you considered a closet system like elfa? (sale going on now at The Container Store) It is so easy to install, they will help you design it but you can do it yourself (bring them your design so they cut all the pieces and give you the right number of installation bits).

Thanks @arcy_gw. I looked into roller shades after you mentioned them. They are rather pricey. I was thinking shorter curtains though because you are right, baby girl will swing on anything! The crib converts to a toddler then full size bed. I looked into wall decals for the wall with the crib. But without painting the wall, my options are very limited.
