I have a couple of baby cribs I would like to repurpose, any ideas?

Question

I don't want to put them out to the curb, but they are out of date, so I can't donate them.

@virginia neurauter you are so right not to put them out to the curb for someone to pick up and use for a baby, but there are many who pick them up to repurpose them. There are a number of posts on here, just use the search bar to find them. Here are a few. http://www.hometalk.com/diy/bedroom/furniture/baby-crib-to-settee-7626869 http://www.hometalk.com/diy/decorate/rooms/family-baby-photos-displayed-on-a-vintage-crib-rail-7724843 http://www.hometalk.com/diy/organize/storage-ideas/my-son-s-upcycled-crib-1362471 http://www.hometalk.com/diy/bedroom/furniture/crib-to-upholstered-headboard-4880210 http://www.hometalk.com/diy/bedroom/furniture/raised-bed-garden-166955

Just saw a pic of one turned into a desk/craft table. Remove one long side, add a table top of plywood, boards, etc at the right height and paint.

If you like yard art you could make a flower bed or use side rails for fencing or backdrop for flowers.
