Hey Ana!

Thanks for all the awesome plans... just finished the Kitchen Island project... made it a little smaller (50" wide vs. 60") .. made some small adjustments to the drawer faces by adding some decorative trim and quarter round... also havent had a chance to install the bottom shelf yet but its on the way... Let me know what you think...

 

P.S. just recently found out were expecting our first child =D any chance of getting a crib plan anytime soon =)

Your kitchen island looks fab!  Congrats for the baby on the way, too.  As for the crib, I believe Ana has avoided those due to liability issues.

Wow, I'm stunned.  That looks amazing!  I haven't had the gumption to try anything drawered yet...

 

And congrats on the pregnancy!  As Parri said though, Ana isn't going to do a crib design because of all the potential liability issues that arise from there, as I'm sure you can understand.

cosleeping is the answer to cribs! we don't have one. :D

 

otherwise, i think you could just make a box. my grandmother slept in a drawer for the first four months of her life, and it turns out, so did my mother. so, you know, who needs anything fancy? LOL

 

i love you island. :D

Hi Nef,

 

Congratulations on the addition to your family, lots of fun for the future for sure!  Your island looks amazing!!  I noticed that you mentioned it was still missing a shelf so I am assuming you are just adding finishing touches.  Just a suggestion, but had you ever thought of putting a towel bar/handle on the end without the wheels?  It could pull double duty by giving your kitchen towels a home and handle to use while moving it around.  Either way it looks great!Smile
