I built this nursery set for my first daughter, Zoë Danielle, born on 3-16-09. I designed it myself and made plans on Autocad. My mother and I built it from solid walnut. The crib has drawers beneath where my wife stores bedding and some clothes.

The dresser has a guard around the top so it can double as a changing table. The top is a glued-up panel of 3/4" stock, and the sides are shaker-style raised panels.

We made the mini step-stool so that when Zoë is old enough, she can climb out of the crib safely, because we know she will. :) It has a small drawer underneath so she can store a few little toys of her own. It rides on a dovetailed drawer slide.
