You know, maybe I'm just sleep deprived, but shouldn't stuff like this bug people? I'm extremely sure this was not in the vein of what his actual crib would have looked like, and I always thought he came off as against ostentatious displays. Wasn't the whole point supposed to be humble beginnings? A simple and unadorned life?

Probably, but it is a very pretty display.

Bit of a "He chose... poorly" moment, though.
