My parents gave us the cradle that me and all my siblings slept in. My grandpa made it. It was getting old the finish was kind of nasty. So we decided to re-finish it for our little girl.

Don't we have a lovely patio?
After a lot of indecision between staining the cradle and painting it, we finally decided to paint it off white.

Andrew priming and needing a haircut quite desperately. Also, check out my beans--they did so well.
Me being Michaelangelo painting my Sistine Chapel. This was seriously the best way to paint the rungs.

Painting the bottom--almost done!
Yay! We are painting in our kitchen and there is horrible lighting!
Me putting the finishing touches on the cradle base.
It's done!
I love it.
Baby Girl gets to share a room with a desk, telescope, cello, and all sorts of storage. She is lucky. People put pictures of their cute nurseries up. This one isn't cute. I think you don't need a cute nursery when your baby is so darn cute. Her cuteness would overpower the cuteness of the nursery, making it obsolete.
And that was our big craft for the baby!

It looks so great! I am getting so excited for you guys. I cannot wait to see your CUTE little girl!
Awesome! Look at you guys being all crafty. And I think it's great that you still hike and all that fun jazz being so pregnant. :)
That looks so great!! I'm excited to see her soon! Don't worry, Audrey and Caleb both shared rooms with a desk and storage too. Even now that we have a house, Annie's room isn't decorated. :) I'm so excited for you guys!!!
Nice job! Our first baby shared space with all sorts of things too. It builds character :)
I LOVE it!
I think it is beautiful.
And you are right, the cute baby will make the room cute.
Much like my feelings on hair bows and babies.
I rarely put bows on my baby girls, who needed bows when they had hair to give them cuteness. I admit this only works when the baby has hair.
