Name: Jake (2 months)
Location: Plano, TX
My husband and I had a little disagreement regarding the nursery theme. I wanted art. He wanted sports. We compromised! I also threw in a little vintage/retro feel, and music too. So it's a hodgepodge. I'm ok with that.
I hope you like it! Jake sure does...it's my new favorite room in this casa.

Sweet room. :)
So, does your husband like it because I don't see a single sports thing! ;)
@abbygraykit
pendant print curtain panels kind of sum up all sports...nice compromise!
Awesome space though it seems to me that you won this battle with the hubby ; )
Thank you guys! About the sports...my husband is a triathlete, so if you look closely you can see one of his race bibs, a medal, and the bedding is bicycles. And yes, he is quite pleased with it. Not to mention the pendant curtains too. It was so much fun!
Where did you get the pig bowl?
i love the wall color for a nursery!!
I got the pig at world market...cheap!
