Repurpose your old Crib
Repurpose your old Crib. I’ve got two old cribs in my garage that 4 of my kids have used….two of them because of the twins! Once we found out they were no longer safe, I hated to throw them out.

I even used the bottom of the shelf turned over as a white board for the back! 🙂

Lovely ideas! Keeping the old crib an turning into a nice useful piece of furniture at home is such a good idea. Here are some great projects and I’m definitely showing to my sister because she’s now trying to reuse and re-purpose all the baby items, left from her kids. Thank you for this post!

One of my all time favorite things I’ve done with an old bed rail was to hang it on a door. I once lived in a place with a beautiful antique door that faced our back entry from the kitchen. It had a huge window that needed some covering for privacy. I used over-the-door wreath hangers to suspend the rail, then added simple “S” hooks randomly. I then hung baskets and various antique kitchen utensils. I nestled baskets inside one another from their handles to gain depth and save space, and others I hung several utensils of various lengths. It was beautiful. Alas, I’ve long since moved from there and have no pix to share. 🙁 I hope this helps somebody solve their desire to decorate without damage as well.
