From Crib to Creativity: Transforming a Toy Crib into Functional Decor.
Reimagining everyday objects through upcycling reveals the beauty of possibilities in the unexpected.
Upcycling has always been a way for me to merge artistry with sustainability, breathing new life into objects that most would discard. When I came across an old, broken toy crib, it brought me back to my childhood. At first I thought I’d fix it, but quickly realized I had no use for a toy crib and my daughter had outgrown the desire to have one. As I pondered over what I was going to do with it, I realized I saw more than just a broken toy—I saw potential. Instead of tossing it aside, I challenged myself to create something entirely new. What started as a single project turned into three unique transformations, each serving a different purpose in my home and workshop.
