The padded crib rail cover is a great idea - both for the baby and for the parent that has to lean over it. I love the idea of DIY decor for a nursery, too. It's so much more meaningful than buying everything from the store!

Both of my nephews have a jungle/animal theme in their nurseries. Although I love the cloud garland from Blissfully Blessed. Might have to incorporate it somehow!
