Not So Baby, Baby Room

I'm very excited to get started on Little Baby Boy Battle's room!  I have enlisted the help of a friend of mine, Melissa from Garden Rows, to help get the feel that I want.  Poor Husbo doesn't get much of a say in what goes on in there.  I originally wanted this painting of ours hanging on the wall:

But Husbo wants this one:

I THINK I may give in on this, because I have free reign with every other aspect of the room.  But we are still "debating". 

Here are some other ideas that we have tossed around:

You can also find Melissa's Inspiration Board on her Blog. 

I just don't want anything too baby for the baby's room.  You will NOT find Winne The Pooh or Thomas the Train hiding in this room.  Not that I have any anything against them...but I am not into themes and such.

I hope you guys had a wonderful Labor Day.  Ours was spent with the Battle/Bostron clan in Sunny San Diego.  The weather was perfect and the company was even better.  

I wonder....

Husbo and I moved into our house last June, and I am still not even close to finishing our office.  It's really not THAT big of a deal, because we rarely ever go in there, we spend most of our time in our bedroom {oh, la, la} or in the living room, so there isn't a real rush...OBVIOUSLY!  Anyhoo... I was browsing my normal daily reads and came across a link on this blog.  It brought me here:

This site will sell everything in this picture for a FAIRLY reasonable price {And I think it's a new block of things every month} 

and all those items would look AWESOME in our office... The questions is....Could I find similar items for less??  And if so...where would/should I start looking???? 

Ready?? Go.....
