Now that drop-side cribs have been outlawed and you can’t sell them anymore, what do you do with that old crib? Or maybe you don’t have a drop-side but you just want to keep your crib for sentimental reasons after your baby grows out of it. Whatever the case may be, I’ve come across quite a few creative ideas for repurposing an old crib. It sparked me to research further to see what people were turning old baby cribs into and I found a round up of 15 + ideas to share with you.
