31 Days of Decorating with Junk: Crib Spring Repurpose


This was such a quick little project. (And the rest of the room is *this close* to being finished!)

When I took apart Isaac’s crib, I hung the springs on Adam’s wall so he could display some of his school papers.

I just used 4 screws (with drywall anchors) in the corners of the crib spring.  The screw heads were actually big enough to fasten to spring to the wall (it’s not just hanging on the screws) so it’s plenty sturdy to be hanging above his bed.

Adam (5) created the hanging decorations himself.  I love them.

And I love seeing his artwork displayed in a place where he will see it!
