It looks pretty good and I don't have to buy other things to put on the wall. :)Teganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09620532301646778131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414907798559897750.post-64161919145593367552011-09-22T09:47:27.899-04:002011-09-22T09:47:27.899-04:00We made our crib bedding for Harper because I coul...We made our crib bedding for Harper because I could not justify spending so much money on things that I couldn't use. We only put a bumper on the back side of the crib and the front and sides are open. I got my car seat, maternity clothes, bouncy, boppy and most of Harper's clothing at thrift stores and there is one I make a trip to every two weeks just to see what they have. Congrats to you by the way :)!!! It's definitely exciting!Kayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154735376450760224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414907798559897750.post-35365989342177040832011-09-21T20:46:17.960-04:002011-09-21T20:46:17.960-04:00Just make sure you check safety standards on thing...Just make sure you check safety standards on things before you buy used... Drop-side cribs are a big no-no now... And car seat/play yard technology seems to always be changing too... As for the bumper....we use ours because I think it's so stinking cute, but if you're dead set on NOT using it, what about making a bolster pillow or a couple of throw pillows to use either on a future toddler bed or in a chair in the nursery?! Just a thought... And speaking of chairs in the nursery.... A glider/ottoman, or whatever you find that is comfy is worth its weight in gold no matter WHAT you pay for it....seriously a Godsend! I have a fabulous one that I love and it's 1/2 the price of the PBKids equivalent if you're interested in more info....Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09189044667531997776noreply@blogger.com
