Upcycled Crib
I've seen lots of photos of benches made from beds floating around the web, so it came straight to mind when we decided to move my youngest into a twin bed. We're not having any more children but I still love our crib and don't want to part with it. Since we have no room in the house for a bench I thought it would make great outdoor seating!
Luckily Hancock fabric is having a 50% off all outdoor fabric sale! Using 2 yards of the mattress fabric and 3/4 yard of the matching fabric I made a crib sheet following this tutorial and covered some pillow forms I had using this tutorial. I just happened to find the green ones at the local thrift store to add a pop of contrast. I'm so happy with it and know I will find myself lounging out there with a book while the kids play.

Wow! What a fantastic idea. So unique. You should link it up to my Front Porch Party going on now until Friday http://www.elephantstrunkllb.com/2011/06/summer-safari-front-porch-fun.html
What an awesome idea! I may just have to pull our crib out of the attic and copy this idea! Looks awesome! & what you gotta love a good deal on fabric! {visiting from the Summer Safari}
