Grey Low-Rise Crib

• $900 ($120 extra for bed conversion kit)
• Land of Nod

Last year I rounded up grey cribs and could only find five so I was glad to find one more to add to the list. Modern and made in the USA, it's still on the higher end of the budget spectrum, I'm afraid. More

I've been feeling a bit Americana lately, so I was delighted to find these nursery collections from Franklin & Ben. Self-billed as "heritage reinterpreted," they combine traditional American furniture forms with modern interpretations that result in beautiful outcomes. More

Long time readers may remember father and small space problem solver Jason who built his daughter Annabelle a stylish crib (above) to fit into a nook that was a few inches too small for a traditional crib. He took charge of his home and made it work for his family. As they all do, Annabelle grew up and was ready for a big girl bed.

Ninna Nanna Bassinet in White

• $395
• Giggle

The Ninna Nanna is arguably the handsomest bassinet out there. I'm a fan of the original dark brown base, but life is all about options and now this white/stone version is available. It has the same clean lines and rocking motion, but may fit in better in a lighter nursery or bedroom.
