The leeks and the broccoli and the cauliflower.
It was a pretty intense week but it was also a lot of fun to share the progress with you all on... And now here we are today!
All of the finishing touches are in place, everything is just how she likes it and we’re finally ready to show you everything!.It’s kind of awesome, right?I’m really proud of it.
It was a super long process, but I’m so thrilled with it everyday, still.. Obviously there are three things that Kennedy loves that had to be a part of the room: Soccer, turquoise and zebra..I had her agree to let me use some grey in the room because everything being just turquoise would probably be a little too much.
I love how it turned out and in fact, I think the grey makes the turquoise even turquoisier!.
The challenge that I ran into was that I, of course, DIYed some things and others were things that I bought.Using the channel you’ve created using the l-brackets, slide the 2 crib sides together and place loosely in the opening.. Now for the (sorta, maybe, huh?!?)
tricky part: the u-bolts which will provide the tension that holds the baby gate in place.The u-bolts are used to push each crib side outward towards each side of the opening.
We do this by installing them around 2 spindles, one from each crib side so when tightened, the crib sides slide in opposite directions within the channel we created using the l-brackets.Make sure you select to spindles that, when pulled together will push the crib sides out rather than in.. As you can see in the picture, our u-bolts are wrapped around 1 spindle from each crib side.
