One project that we took on several years ago but I still LOVE, was when we decided to build a crib for baby number 2. When we had our first child we were dirt poor (like most couples) and we were given a hand me down crib that did the job but wasn't beautiful. When we found out we were pregnant with number 2 we decided to build something that we could use for the rest of our children. I knew that I wanted something with wide slats, and I had a picture in my head of what I wanted. I described it to my husband who drew it up and made plans of the crib. We made sure to read up on specifications to make it completely safe for our baby, and then we started building. Ok, he started building and I helped where I could.
This pile of wood was about to become something fabulous.
Four babies later and it still looks fabulous. We get compliments on it all of the time. When we listed our house for sale this particular picture had several comments on it because everyone loved the crib.
