This crib is like a collage of color. Carolyn's mom made the pillows, and used a vintage 70's sheet for the dust ruffle. We love the hot pink paper dolls strung across the back.

But we'll admit, when we first saw this crib, it reminded us of those decorator's beds with twenty pillows that you have to take off every night just so you can sleep. "Where does Carolyn fit in that bed?" we asked. But as it turns out, Carolyn didn't end up using the crib and has only slept there for two nights in her one and half years. Meanwhile, her mom had fun decorating it!

Very very cute crib, but the though of having to take all of that out/down every nap and then back up again gives me anxiety.

My first thought was that this was a display, not a working crib. And then I click More... and yes, it's a display, not a working crib. For me, design that is "just for show" isn't very interesting, because my apartment is too small for that! (Unless it's hanging on the wall.)

If no one sleeps in the crib, that's fine for Carolyn -- but AT, I think it was irresponsible of you to post this as a laudable example when those paper dolls, so seductively cute, are also a very real strangulation hazard. I hope no one gets any ideas.
I don't mean to sound militant or killjoyish, but that's the sort of thing that might not be obvious to new parents (and ought to be obvious to the people who run a site like this).

And since I'm being a crazy harpie, I'll also point out that AT's post speaks of the pillows as if Carolyn *might* have slept with all those pillows -- a suffocation hazard and major potential SIDS contributor, of course.
