Janet,

You comment made me smile! I don’t think it was his crib, but his grandmother passed it on to me. 🙂 So, at least it stayed int he family.

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment.

I like how you just go for it and change it as you go along. It turned out so cute and I’ll bet he loves it! Maybe it was even his crib – how fun would that be! Extra storage is always a good thing and when it looks great that’s even better. Great job! Love the color!

I have been wanting to repurpose the crib I have since it’s not even legal to donate side drop cribs anymore .I couldn’t bear to just take it to the dump. It held my babies. Now I’m inspired. Thank you.

ohhh, sounds like a perfect project for your new grandaughter! I’m sorry I do not know the dimensions of this bench. Since it was made from the crib I had, I let that be the guide for the size.

I appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment.

I LOVE LOVE this!! We have the crib that my husband hand made for our two kids (now 27 and 30 years old.) We are expecting our first grandbaby (a GIRL) in May and want to make something very similar to this. I think we can make 2 from our crib. Do you possibly have or know the finished dimensions for the one your build? I would really appreciate it if you could share that info.! Thank you, Granna to be!
