So we we're expecting and we started to look at cribs. We wanted a 2-1 crib that will turn into a twin. My brother in law gave us the side pieces (rails) to his old crib, so I needed to build a headboard and footboard that would go with what he gave us. My wife started to browse online for cribs that she liked and she asked for something that would resemble the "Natart Rustico Moderno Crib". So I tried my best... more photos and tips on my blog.
