Repurposing an old baby bed – 23 brilliant recycling ideas
Babies grow quickly. First out of the cradle, then out of the cot. If you are not planning any other children at the moment, then you can convert the cot. But how can you re-using an old cot? Take a look at our recycling ideas and you will find the inspiration for them.
Convert the old baby bed into a clothes horse
An old crib could have many functions other than storing old things in the basement. Make a desk for the home office by placing a glass top on it. You can use the dismantled grids as a book or newspaper holder. The bed springs mounted on the wall serve as vintage memo boards for little notes and calendars. If you saw out one side of the cot, it turns into a nice play or desk for the nursery. You can even paint the tabletop with blackboard paint. Another interesting idea for the nursery would be to build a playhouse for all of the girls’ dolls.
Dismantle the old cot
The old baby bed shouldn’t necessarily just stay in the nursery. Make a bench for the porch, a raised bed for herbs in the garden, or even a serving table for the BBQ area. The cot can also be converted into a wonderful veranda swing.
