My old teddy in the corner + a few gifts sent over by my mom
That would be me!
We bought the crib {or cot, as it’s called over here} from Mocka, a family company that’s based in Christchurch, New Zealand. I wanted a crib that was simple and clean with a standard American sized mattress, no drop-sides, and reasonably priced… all while complying with safety standards. This crib met all of my criteria and I was able to put it together in about 30 minutes. Nice.
I like that the crib is entirely wooden {except for the screws} and that it’s not a huge piece of furniture. I’ve never been a fan of cribs that dominate the room, and this one is a great size. It has an adjustable mattress height for when baby gets a bit more active {i.e., tries to climb over the bars}, and I’m pleased about not having any drop sides. It also converts to a toddler bed, which seems crazy to think about now but will come in handy later.
Now, I just have to find some of those teething rails to protect the sides. I never would have thought of those, but my mom pointed out that they might come in handy when baby starts teething. There’s so many things to think about.
What a gorgeous crib/cot 🙂
Good for you putting it together yourself! We have those teething things, but if you can’t find them I wouldn’t worry about it. I’ve never seen any of my boys chewing the railing – so far!
Love it!! I never thought about the teething thing either.. better put it on my list of a million things to get.
Nice job! 🙂 Impressive that you put that together without Chris! I would completely require assistance 😛
I love it! Nice job!
You can’t go wrong with simple and classy!
Oh it is so cute!!!
It came about great! Good job 🙂
Love the crib and look at you go putting it all together by yourself!! I agree….teething guards would be a great idea!!! XOXO
Cute crib! And congrats for putting it together solo – that’s quite an accomplishment!
Holy cow you are one productive mama! It’s a good idea to get all this stuff done way ahead of time though, we had a goal to have the nursery ready by the end of 2010 and still aren’t quite finished!
