Crib Love {spindle obsessed}

On Mother’s Day when Billy and I shared our exciting news with “Yaya and Papa” we jumped the gun a bit and decided to browse for cribs online. Instantly, I found a line of baby furniture that was love at first sight. Having detail on the crib and carved spindles were so important to me. I’m not sure why but I just love-love the look of spindles. We decided upon Young America, they make some really beautiful pieces.

Another big deciding factor was being able to use the crib with either a boy or a girl.  We'd like to use it for future children (Lord willing). I knew the white option was out… there was no way I wanted it to be too “pretty” incase we are blessed with a bouncing baby boy. Mom and I decided to look at the color options and the chili pepper red struck me, I loved it. I wasn’t too sure though because it’s so bold. Really bold. But I didn’t want to go down the normal “green and blue or green and pink” route (no offense to those who love those color schemes, I just was not envisioning it in our nursery).

Finally, Mom and I had an afternoon of decorating talks and had a plan of décor for either sex.  I’m so excited to say…my dream crib is on order!  I can totally envision this red crib in a boy’s room and my more-than-creative-momma has really great ideas for this pop of color if we’re having a baby girl. Annnnd, because I have the smartest little growing Bird in my belly, s(he) wanted me to give a shout out to the grandparents for the splurge…


Thank you, “yaya and papa” for my bed! I cannot wait to slumber in it this winter. From what mom tells me, it'll be the coolest crib on the block. :) 
Love, your favorite little Bird
