Bratt Decor Cradle

One thing that I wish I had for a baby was a cradle. They are so beautiful and timeless. This piece from Bratt Decor is something I could give to my children. I love that it is white and I like the idea of having the cradle in our bedroom with us- this looks so much better than a co sleeper that attaches to your bedside!
Here is a description:
The quiet beauty of the Chelsea cradle in buttermilk is undeniable. A solid structure, that rocks to and fro, this beautifully carved cradle is the perfect place for your little one to dream. Bratt Decor has discreetly incorporated an anti-rock, or locking, mechanism that renders the cradle stationary without detracting from the beauty of this product. The manual stopper is fashioned in the same finish as the cradle and sits subtly at its feet. Bedding is not included. Available in the following finishes: antique silver, buttermilk, espresso.

The Soft Kingdom

Well John and I decided to build a rock climbing wall in our house. I really like it but we haven't fully overcome the problem of Danielle and what we can do with her. She likes the rock climbing wall. So I remembered a kid zone at Momentum Rock Gym and wanted to get one for myself. Google Checkout took me to at site with something called The Soft Kingdom.

It is from csnsupply.com and is the wesco 4789 Soft Kingdom. csnsupply offers free shipping on this item and in 1-2 weeks I could have my fantastic new gym. I think Danielle would love it. It could live on the garage floor and could become her new floppy zone so she wouldn't have to flop on my bed. I would love it. I guess this means that I shouldn't be too cheap about getting a small air conditioner for the garage. She loves climbing on these things! Here is an online description.

This range of tiny tot modules can be combined in any number of ways so that tots can experience a variety of situations in terms of expressions and relationships. Children often delight in climbing high up and exploring. This Soft Kingdom will allow children to develop motor skills as they crawl and climb on the comfortable modules.

The Most Beautiful Crib

When I had a baby we bought a crib that was a floor sample sale. It is cherry and beautiful, but I hate it. I wish I had twins so I could get a different one. Restoration Hardware just started a baby line and their clothes are beautiful and their cribs are beautiful. This is the crib I always wanted. Too bad by the time I have enough money to get it I will be too old to have children. Also how do I tell my husband that I want a new crib when there is literally nothing wrong with the old one? Why can't my dog just start chewing up furniture and pick our crib as his item to destroy?
I have a fundamental belief that baby cribs and furniture should be white. Also I love canopy beds. I wish I had one. And I wish my baby had one.
Their description of my dream crib:

• Handcrafted of hardwood with fine birch veneers
• Tapered posts
• Features hidden hardware, an easy drop side, four height settings and scissor springs beneath the mattress for superior support and easy adjustability
