Owen's parents did a great job of decorating their baby's nursery with lots of seafaring decorations including dad's collection of paper, tall sailing ships, ships' flags and the incredible red, white and blue compass ceiling decoration.


To simply call it a light fixture is just not enough....it's fantastic. What a view, baby Owen is enjoying from his baby bed!

I love the compass on the nursery ceiling. Do you have any suggestions on dimensions for the painting or instructions on how best to do this?
