The most wonderful baby bed ever

HAO reader Nancy sent me a link to this retro bassinet that's for sale. I love it, but have no use for it. Someone else should snatch it up. Hurry!

Update: It's been snatched.

  1. I love how they show a baby in the bassinet in the last picture. As if, possibly, we weren't sure of the proper usage for this item.

    I wish I needed this. I LOVE it.

  2. Oh, my! At first look I thought it was a coffin. Sorry, that is so grim, but I don't think I would want it in orange or any other color. It's a good thing we all have different likes and dislikes, or this old world would be pretty boring... lol

  3. That's hilarious. I didn't even think of it. But now that you mention it.... I would like to be buried in a coffin just like this. :)

  5. i thought it looked like a little orange coffin--hey--that would be a GREAT halloween decoration. Put a whole bunch of vampire dolls in it.

  6. I have something like this, and I love it! Mine is a more sedate navy blue. I think this is the top of a pram--like mine, there are big, skinny wheels that attach with a base. Mine was a pram for when I was a babe and a mobile bassinette for my own kids.

  7. Mercy, that is gorgeous! Seriously, why doesn't somebody still make baby stuff like this? It's awesome!

  8. It's the top of a pram! I had one just like it when I was a baby - in navy blue. I have vivid memories of it because I inherited it for my dolls later on!

  10. I also played with a navy blue pram when I was a kid. Me and my sister would put all our dolls in it. This orange one is very cool, though.

  11. I like alison's suggestion, haha. I had one of those prams, too. are we all old?
    there's got to be a use for it if you have space for it. what about a place for extra blankets? magazine and catalog catcher? oooh dog or cat bed?

  12. Great suggestions, Elizabeth. But it would go perfectly in the new nursery we are planning - orange, yellow and grey...

  17. Lol - it's so cute, but it keeps on reminding me of a cooler! We have a couple retro metal-sided coolers in red that look soo much like this . . .

  18. Hey! That's my bassinet I'm selling! I found a buyer and she's adorable. I can't wait to see what she does with the babies room!

  19. This is adorable! I will definitely use something like this when I have a baby... maybe in a less... vibrant color though.

  20. Jourdan, your bassinet has been a hot topic of conversation. :) I'm glad it's going to a good home!

  21. Hey, I'm pregnant! And I'm seriously thinking of doing an orange baby's room. However, sounds like someone's buying it. :(

    This is the bedding set I'm thinking of, BTW:

  22. Well, I am glad that I sent you the link. It sure has been a hot topic. I think it is strange that the sellers checks out this blog too. What are the chances of that?

  23. I too thought the coffin thing. Cute though.

  24. Too bad my daughter is 2. I'd have loved this when she was born and I probably would've spent any amount to have it. Love it, love it, love it!
