What to do with that drop down crib? Can’t donate it… can’t give it away… how about Upcycle it to make a desk for two!  For less than $30 and less than an hour of work, you can have this incredibly awesome desk.  Here is how you do it in 3 easy steps…

 

1)       Take the drop down side off of the crib and adjust the bottom of the crib to the highest setting.

2)      Buy a 2 ft by 4 ft pre-cut board from your local hardware store. (We opted for the sturdier piece of wood but there is a thinner version for a few dollars less.)

3)      Prime it and paint it with chalkboard paint! 

Can you believe it was that easy????!!!!
