A Beautiful Cameron-Made Baby Cradle

That amazing and talented man I’m married to built yet another beautiful piece of furniture… this time for our precious babe.

I had originally wanted an antique-looking cradle I’d found on amazon, but like most things, it was too big to ship out here. Simultaneously, I found this moses basket from a yard sale in perfect condition for $10 and snagged it. Cam took one look at it and said he could build a cradle to fit it, and then we could have a family heirloom to be used for all those future children we hope to have. It’s simple, sweet and even more beautiful in person. I cannot imagine anything better!

It’s been hanging out in the nursery on the guest room rug {we’re still waiting for the one we ordered to arrive!} but it was made to rock right next to our bed:

The cradle, just like us, is excitedly waiting for our precious little boy to arrive.

    It is adorable and your husband is truly talented! I must admit though that I think you should keep the rug… it reminds me of my beloved summer location: Greece <3

    Incredible. Do you think that when we finally get to meet that Cam will give D some tips on carpentry? Home boy needs some advice.

    Tell Cam, BRAVO! Beautiful. That baby of yours is gonna be a-ok with you two. 😉

      Haa. Thanks love. When are we meeting up? How about France next year?! I'll be in the one in the beret eating too many crepes and holding a bouquet of peonies for you.

    When my husband returns he'll be itching for projects, and some of these you've featured recently and in previous posts are things he'd love to tackle (or *I* would love for him to tackle)… has your husband moved any of the plans from his mind onto paper? You're blessed!

    This is absolutely gorgeous! What a sweet heirloom to pass along to your children as well…I wish I had a handy husband to make something like this for me 🙂 xoxo
