Magazine Rack to Baby Doll Crib

(IC: homeowner)
At a thrift store, I spotted, on a high shelf, what I thought was a wooden baby doll crib. When I pulled it down, I realized that it was a magazine rack. I have to admit that I was disappointed for a minute, until I realized that it COULD be a baby doll crib.
My $3.00 purchase......before deconstruction.
Another before pic.
I took out the parts that I didn't need, plugged and sanded the holes. cut the dowels down and put it all back together.
I added some little wooden knobs to the four corners, just to give it a little personality and painted the whole thing white, with a little pink on the knobs. One of my favorite things are the little casters on the legs!
My grand daughter loves putting her "baby" to bed!
Enjoyed the project?

good eye I would not have envisioned that but it looks adorable. I have been searching everywhere for something I could repurpose for my granddaughter.it seems like all the baby beds are cheap plastic or too big like for American girl or Journey Dolls
