Here is a grouping of original furniture in a bedroom setting. The large armoire, bookshelf, dresser, and poster bed are all built out of walnut. The natural cherry bedside changing table does triple duty as nightstand and dresser. The tall painted hutch has hidden storage and display spaces. It would work well in a more public spot in a home, such as a dining room or family room. Grey is a versatile neutral color that complements most decor.
Factory made cribs are recalled from time to time due to safety concerns. New parents want a special and safe space for their new bundle of joy. After all, babies spend much of their first years napping, sleeping, and occasionally playing in their cribs. As parents of two young daughters, we understand. This crib and changing table are proposed to be built of Pennsylvania Maple and finished with a food grade finish, likely a combination of oil and beeswax. The crib will have 2” wide slats with 2” wide gaps, cabriolet legs, and two drawers for storage. The end panels are arched, and the mattress will be able to be set at two heights (one for a wee one and a lower level for a baby that is able to pull up). The matching changing table will double as a sophisticated dresser or sideboard when baby outgrows diapers. The four changing table drawers and two under-crib drawers will be dovetailed and will ride on Hettich Quadro soft-close self-close ball-bearing undermount slides. Behind the door at the bottom right is the perfect space to hide dirty diapers or laundry. The door could be hinged on a spring-loaded push bumper that opens with pressure, like from a knee when you’ve got one hand on the baby and the other on a stinker, or it could be a pullout that rides on slides that would also open when pushed. The top of the changing table has room for a changing pad and is open to the front for easy access, but contained by a 3” tall lip on the back and both sides to keep powder or any other necessities at hand.
