And since it had a bazillion fancy spindles covered in filth, we quickly took it apart again, and bagged it up for storage in my attic until it would be needed someday in the future.
Two years later, the time came to tackle the dreaded attic grunge. Dad insisted that I use furniture wax, but I felt uncomfortable coating my daughter's multi-functioning bed/teether in something that I wouldn't feed her from a spoon. Be warned: this is just the tip of the crunchy-granola-mom-to-be iceberg.
Walking through my kitchen one night, I laid eyes on the quart-sized mason jar full of coconut oil that sits next to my oven for regular use. A light bulb went off! I could clean and shine the crib with an organic, food grade substance and hopefully achieve the same effect as furniture wax. Low and behold, it worked fantastically!
The rest of the pictures are mostly off topic...nevertheless, enjoy the photo evidence of my nesting process:
