    With all the recalled cribs in recent years, I'm here to share repurposed crib project ideas with you. Cribs are readily available in numerous places, my favorite place to find old cribs is on the side of the road. Maybe you have an old crib in your attic?

      Wow thank you, I picked up an old crib at an auction, and you sure gave me some great ideas to do with it. Can't wait for a little warmer weather as our garage is not heated.(We live in Pa) i am going to look for more now!

      So very inventive and creative I love it! We no longer have use of ours as our lil one is growing up so quickly so will certainly try one of your fantastic ideas.

        Sherry--put the word out to family and friends. I'm sure someone has one in an attic/basement/garage they have forgotten about.

      Thanks for all the ideas. I have a crib somewhere in the attic that I'm pretty sure wouldn't pass today's inspections.

      These are all so clever Gail. My favorite is the chalkboard easel.

      While I love the drying rack and remember it well. I think I'm drawnt to that little green table the most. Though, I don't know why? Oh, that could be because I have a house full of little tables, and the one in my bedroom currently needs a 'DO-OVER'...AND green would be wonderful!

      Great projects! I have yet to make a bench out of one but I do have several in storage that I need to make something with. I use the spindles from them in all sorts of projects.

      Nice job on all those Gail. I have a crib waiting for me to get something done to it but that is going to have to continue to wait for a bit.
