I think it could definitely work! Each twin is it's own person, even if people forget that. Being a twin, and being called "the twins" instead of by name, and wearing matching outfits gets really boring. It's fun sometimes, but trust me, it gets old. ;) I think whatever you end up doing, just be sure to blend the styles instead of trying to make two separate rooms within the space. Blending is key to any shared space.

If it were my twins, I would love to have a more streamlined crib. I would also have a more streamlined glider and use accessories to help bring the girly, frilly, vintage style and the more streamlined, graphic style together. For the bedding, you could have them match, or have them just be the same colors. But matching bedding would be nice. Really though, matching is fun sometimes. It's more fun to be different and unique.

I'm not sure where to find it, but a Jenny Lind style crib could look good with this crib. You would have a sort of vintage/antique eclectic style going on. I would use different bedding for each -- maybe more plain on this one and floral on the other, or the same color but different patterns (polka dots and stripes).

For a small room (my son's is small, and arranged to eventually hold a second crib/toddler bed if/when he has a sibling), I would stick with the essentials. For us that is a dresser used as a changing table, a rocker, and a bookcase to hold toys and books. His closet is actually fairly sizable, so we put a bookcase in it, as at this shelves are more needed than a hanging rod. We use baskets in the closet to store linens, toys to grow into, burb cloths, etc.

With another crib that's white, but not 'fancy' and very simple, it will blend in without taking away the look from the other. If the bedding was matching it would still work. I'm with the other person- each twin is an individual and it's ok that not everything is matchy matchy

My triplets' nursery had mismatched white cribs. I liked the eclectic look. I say go for it!

I generally prefer mismatched cribs in twin rooms. I'd go Jenny Lind http://www.landofnod.com/baby-cribs/kids-furniture/time-to-turn-in-crib/f7006

Our twins are 16 months old (boy and girl) and still share their crib. We went through just a couple of tough days when our boy learned how to pull himself and insisted on standing on his sister. Other than that, they have plenty of room and can often be found spooning through the night or nap time. The mattress is the most important thing to me. You can often find gently used organic mattresses on craigslist. Most people use a crib protector (we use a wool blanket beneath the crib sheet), so I'm sure you could find one that is very clean and well cared for.

How do you feel about getting a plain one (let's say, one from Ikea) and painting both in the same style? Matching bedding also helps creating a unified style.

I guess the issue would be that down the road, one sister doesn't feel she's slighted with a less "princessy" bed... if that comes to matter. Maybe you get wall decals to make the rest of the room look more the crib you already have without taking too much space?

Just giving my 1/2 twopence.

What if you pulled apart the crib and fused it with another, less ornate one, to give you two matching cribs? I'm thinking each would have one of these victorian 'headboards' and a 'footboard' from the other crib. Not sure of the logistics of fusing cribs safely but I'm sure someone could figure it out.

I love Memobaby's suggestion. How sweet that the babies spoon! Recent research has shown that the amount of skin-to-skin contact a baby experiences influences that child's development: more skin-to-skin, more and better developmental outcomes. Putting both in the crib would mean they'd be helping each other.
Of course, you're going to want to check out the safety of babies co-sleeping with your own medical expert on childcare. I would never suggest otherwise. Still, it sounds like an idea with potential.

Hey, when I was a baby, I slept in a bureau drawer, and look how I turned out!

Do you paint (or know someone who does)? Grab a flat side crib and paint shadowed pattern to match your existing crib as closely as you desire. This is often done on walls to give the illusion of moulding where the budget/rental agreement prevents actual moulding from being installed.

I also suggest a Jenny Lind crib. We bought a white one off Craigslist even though it was drop side. Then I went to the manufacturer's website and they sent the kit to permanently secure the drop side for free, no questions asked. We're in the process of painting it. You could keep both white or paint the Jenny Lind one pink or whatever color scheme you're thinking of using so they both end up with 'special' cribs. We're using a zero-voc semi-gloss paint and it's looking amazing. The crib also comes with teething protectors.

Coordinating bedding would tie the two together, it wouldn't have to be identical as long as it was similar colors/patterns. Check out etsy for cute handmade baby quilts and crib skirts, etc.

I would also just get a dresser (I love our Ikea Hemnes dresser in my sons room) and use it as a changing table with a changing pad secured to it (most have a strap that screws into the back of your dresser).

Two different cribs - similar bedding... it will be perfect. By the time they are out of cribs you can get them matching beds if that's an issue... newborns don't complain about their cribs - three year olds don't complain about their cribs.

Worry more about how you're going to find time to sleep yourself!

I love this crib! Could you please tell me where to find it.? Or find similar?

I am having my first baby and do not know where to start and this is the kind of cribs and beding i would like to have!

Thanks
