The nursery in Aimee, Rene and Max's Sweet and Sophisticated Family Home has some serious grown up style going on. Except for the crib, all of these pieces could be transferred to an adult room. Or, make like Aimee and Rene and give your baby a stylish space to slumber.

When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I thought a bassinet was an unnecessary item that would just waste my space and money. While this may be true for many parents, after having my baby, I quickly changed my tune. I found that I wanted her close to my bed, and we didn't have enough space for the crib in our bedroom. Even after we transitioned our daughter to her crib we used the bassinet downstairs for a comfortable place for her to relax and nap during the day.

The Rhea Crib
• $670

I am writing this post not because I love the way this crib looks, although I think it is a very handsome piece of work. Nor am I writing this post as a standard nod to a DIY tutorial, because it is a pretty advanced piece of carpentry not particularly well-suited for amateurs. I am writing this post to talk about the process that went into this crib's construction, because a look at how this came together can teach us all a thing or two about how we approach challenging projects, and offer a little insight into new ways to meet them.
