Repurposed crib ideas
We recently got rid of our cot. To be honest, it was such an emotional mom moment! I didn’t realize how hard it was going to hit me that we were taking our crib down for the last time, that we would never need it again and that my sweet babies were now too big for it.
We gifted this to a cute young couple who needed it, but when you don’t have someone to put it to good use these cool upcycling ideas are great. I love that this is a way to keep some of that special piece of furniture in your home for years to come.
