Bye Bye baby bed...

Well, it was time.  I've dreaded the day that the precious white crib, that held my babies for so many naps and nightime sleeps came down.  Sad and bittersweet all at the same time.  To be quite honest, sweet boy would have stayed in his crib probably until he was seven if we let him, but it was time and he was too big!  After searching for the most perfect bed, I stumbled across some plans for a "knock off" Pottery Barn platform bed.  So one week, we bought the supplies and got to work and Bennett's new bed.

After Nick finished it, it was my turn to paint.  We painted it with a midnight navy paint mixed with some Webster's chalk paint, then sanded and finished with a finishing wax.  It turned out AWESOME!  So proud of Nick, since it was his first piece of furniture!
The very last nap EVER in the crib. 
Silly boy!
New bed almost ready to go!
 
 Already for bed...
 He had to add all of his friends to the top of the bed.
 He LOVES it!
