Cure for the Cramps

The Alma Crib

“Well, hello! Come in, come in. Welcome to our home. Would you care for a drink? Splendid! Now let’s all have a seat, shall we? Right this way…Little Olivia is with her grandmother, so we can just use her crib as a cocktail table.”

Holy awkwardness! Most of today’s cribs are literally the elephants in the living room. Ill-equipped for apartment living, these giants force new parents to either scurry for more spacious digs or give up crucial pieces of furniture to make room.

If lack of space is your ailment, the Alma Crib from Bloom is your antidote. Made of real wood, this sturdy crib is not only substantially smaller than its contemporaries but it folds for quick and easy storage – so once bambino outgrows it, you can pack it away until you’re ready for your next baby story.
