Making Goldie’s Cot For Her Nursery
The cot was the final piece of furniture we wanted to make for Goldie’s Nursery - we were sure that she would arrive before it was finished… just as I saw the final pieces come together the contractions started. The next day I laboured at home while Al sealed the cot and we we had it set up in her nursery just in time for her arrival.
We designed the cot so that the base can be adjusted to two different heights and the rails can come off for when she graduates to a big girl bed.
This project along with all of the other pieces we made for her nursery were a labour of love. As I write this Goldie is 5 months old and has just moved into her room and is now sleeping in her cot.
Up until this point we’ve used the cot as a great place for her to play as the baby gym we build for her fits perfectly inside it.
