    I think they are awesome! I especially love the play table and the crib springs as organizers.

    I use them for fencing my compost, and doors for the fence for my chicken coop yard!

    Very cool! That play desk is cute! I used the old spring part in my former vintage store to display things off of..lots of places to hang items (I just used paperclips that I unfolded for hooks) Great ideas!

    I used an old metal crib for a couch and the remaining side I hung in the kitchen as a pot rack

    Getting ready to downsize,I am being forced to get rid of many things that I didn't feel comfortable selling...like an old baby bed,that wouldn't pass safety codes. It was breaking my heart to get rid of the "family baby bed". I know what I love,I just don't love the ideas I come up with (neither does my husband & family!).But now,Thanks to you, MY biggest problem is going to be deciding HOW to use it! Okay,my 2nd problem. My FIRST problem is going to be convincing my husband that it's a "treasure in progress", and we MUST keep it! Thank you for showing so many options and ideas, not just a few. With Love from One, NOT so much the Other, Mimmi

      I'm the same way. I have a sentimental attachment to all things old, even if they aren't mine! Thanks for visiting!

    Too funny I found this. I was perusing Pinterest, saw a pin about crib ideas (always looking for new ideas), and there's my project! I'm the chair that saved the cute vintage graphics. It was a fun one. One of my customers wanted to preserve her husband's crib in a useful, meaningful way. We built it together, well, she helped me anyway. It was a little tricky designing it around saving those graphics, but thought it turned out cool -- and the customer (and I think her husband too) loved it! And she told me it's right in her entry for guests to see when they visit. :)
