Cribs

It just keeps getting easier to be a green mum….

The most important piece of furniture your baby will have is his crib. His home away from you needs to be the safest thing in the room – as it can easily become the most dangerous. (Sign up for a recall alert service to always ensure that your crib is safe structure wise.) Sadly, many mums don’t realize that their cribs contain a whole Love Canals’ worth of chemicals – which is why we are loving Romina.

Romina makes beautiful, save for the grandchildren baby furniture that does not contain lead, phthalates, VOC’s or that dastardly formaldehyde. And, as you may have guessed, the finishes are all uber non-toxic as well.

Most importantly, these pieces don’t look “green”, modern or carved by women who wear calico and bonnets. (Not that thats a bad thing.) They just look classic, elegant and well made.

The company harvests the wood responsibly as well – but, quite frankly, I don’t care. I only care about the toxins.

If you are in Chicago, you can get Romina furniture at Lazar’s, where you can also pick up an organic mattress to pop in the crib. Lazar’s also carries the modern Stokki cribs for excruciatingly hip among you. It’s a bit of a schlep – but totally worth the drive.

Happy Weekend!
