Charles & Hudson: Nursery Needs: Finding the Right Space

  • Sarah S · 12 months ago
    In that Martha Stewart article, I think the laundry bag is laughable. That is nowhere near a big enough capacity to hold the endless amounts of dirty laundry our kid generates. Also don't forgot the dirty diapers. We basically have a whole corner of the room for 'dirtiness' - trash, laundry, and dirty cloth diapers. Maybe we're just dirty though. :)

    Great point! Form takes precedence over function during those magazine shoots and we agree that those bags are tiny!

    A reader submitted their "built-in" crib building project. We wanted to share their process which also includes great photos. Thanks Jason!

    We live in a tiny rowhouse on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, and had a
    similarly tiny room at the back of our top floor that was used as a
    utility room by the previous owners. We were using it as a study, but
    figured it'd be the perfect nursery... but only with some handiwork on our
    part, because the location in the room that'd be best for the crib was
    JUST too narrow for a real crib. It was the perfect size for a crib
    mattress, though... which started me thinking about building a built-in
    crib! The process, and results, are here:

    Of course, as you say in today's post, that led to a needed decision --
    like, we needed to decide where to move our office. There was a nook in
    our bedroom that became our NEW office:
