When he turned one month, Elizabeth was "sent" to sleep alone in his room, the first in an old bassinet and then in classic cot with bars. We are not co-sleeping, as you'll see.
I must admit that the crib with bars I've never particularly liked: the bars have always given me the idea of \u200b\u200b"prison", was also impossible to do in Elizabeth pampering maybe two stretching next to the bed ... at least not without ending up with an arm stuck! Search and look, I got an idea of \u200b\u200bthe sun on the Montessori site House on the Prairie , I saw some pictures and decided how I wanted the bed to Elizabeth.
I have a husband, a carpenter, and this helped me not a little: I spent an image from the internet and they are rising from the site, and in a few days made this masterpiece:
It 's a simple bed (simple enough to be nicknamed " case of wood) , with the wheels to be moved, with an opening at the bottom, so that Elizabeth can, upon reaching the upright position, easily slip out and come to disrupt our sleep, or anything else you is doing in Latvia. It 'also very low, so that leave is not dangerous and also permit to lie near Elizabeth for her to cuddle. Of course, the Ikea rugs bought at the kind suggestion of the elements helps! The color of the couch is the same cabinet in the room: a lovely pink tending to mauve (yes, I know, it's purple. But I like more "tending to mauve pink "!!).
increasingly difficult carpenter husband, I cut the letters in the name of Elizabeth MDF ... and here begins the creative part! I sanded with patience the letters in about a week I had finished and did not know what to do with it ... so I called the high, I spend step suggested to me what to do!
I gave the letters a first coat of white base, then I decorated using acrylic colors: stripes for letters, I just spent the alternate colors using paper tape (and here the numerous episodes of "Paint your life" views when I was pregnant I was inspired) . The letter "L" was done by attacking the adhesives in the form of a circle: I have given a first coat of color, then I removed the stickers and passed back inside the circles with another color. The letter "B" was made in the same way, but little heart-shaped stickers I've designed and cut myself. Because they are smart, the hearts I made them small and I tested my astigmatism when I decided to wipe the inside with a tiny brush. For letter "E" and "T" I used a technique that has excited me more than a little: I got a first coat of paint and then I made the dots by dipping the tip of the brush in the color of wood. Then I finished all the letters with paint spray shiny (and I felt too !!!!) Giuppy Muciaccia . With the help of the carpenter's house, I then attached the letters to the couch with hot glue. Ah, the letters we have attached "broken" bore us because things linear. Or maybe because it was too difficult to attack them in line?? 
I know that some very creative woman is coming the goose bumps, but I assure you that for me it was a satisfaction ! Yes, ok, it took me a month and a half to finish everything ... but you give me this when I can tell my daughter that I and my father have made her bed? I take this opportunity to thank the elements: even without her would not have been possible!
Ugh, I forgot ... My personal contribution to the photos was open the window to let in the light, the rest did her husband.
