Book Nook and the Velvet Underground

 I meant to post something bout this project but never got around to it.  Jay made the "book nook" out of Indigo's old crib!  Though an expensive crib in good condition, drop side cribs are now banned, so we couldn't donate or try to sell it.  I couldn't bear the thought of a perfectly good crib being sent to the landfill so Jay created this little spot for Willow to sit in the sunshine and read and Indigo to maybe one day sleep in (if ever she will leave our bed...sigh).  He just cut off the legs and one side and screwed the rails together.  Pretty ingenious, huh? Now it is easy for both to access and Indigo won't roll far if (when) she sleeps in it as a transition to a big girls bed. I am slowly making pillows to make the space extra soft and comfy, but the girls like it as is-- and it makes a cool fort when covered with a blanket!
Willow loves this Velvet Underground inspired t-shirt I made for her :-)
