Project #1 Baby Gate

The doorways and staircases here in Germany are much different than what we're used to in the US. After many unsuccessful attempts using store bought baby gates my husband and I decided to turn to Pinterest. We originally decided to try the "barn door baby gate" that is so popular on Pinterest. However we quickly realized our unique situation was going to force us to wing it. My 10 month old son has quickly learned to climb stairs and was really starting to scare his mommy so this project had to be quick. We ran into SEVERAL problems while creating and installing the gate but I absolutely LOVE how the baby-gate turned out and will soon be posting pictures and what we learned along the way. :)
