Elsie's new bed

We knew Elsie wasn't ready to go in the bunk-beds with Cassi yet, but we needed the crib for the new baby. This crib was from my Grandmas house, and I fell in love with it. It is bigger than a normal size crib, but smaller than a twin bed. I thought it would perfect for Elsie. I loved the paint on it...all chipped and worn...unfortunately, it was lead paint. So we had it sand-blasted, we painted it up, and it turned out so good. Elsie will go into Madi's room until she is big enough to move to the bunk-beds with Cass.

I am in the process of making a bedspread to match Madi's and a bed skirt...which should all be very cute. Then when Elsie moves onto the bunk beds with Cassi, we can take one side off the crib, add a bunch of throw pillows and it will be a little reading couch for Madi.

And I have finished the baby's blanket, I just wanted to wait and get the crib all put together before I posted it. But it turned out exactly how I wanted it to!
