Converting a Crib to a Desk (DIY)

Kids grow up. Kid’s furniture- not so much. Sometimes you have to take things into your own hands. Like converting a crib into a desk. Assuming you have this style crib (and not one that converts to a bed), it’s a fairly simple matter of setting the crib base to the highest newborn level, removing the railing on one side, and then cutting and laying down mdf/particleboard where the mattress would go. Add some blackboard paint and hooks and accessories and you’re done. Very creative re-use, and not too difficult to DIY, especially if you already have other matching furniture in the child’s bedroom.

Bubble Baby Bed is Clearly the Best

This oddly transparent crib called the Bubble Baby Bed was designed by Lana Agiyan. It’s designed to rock around like a top without tipping over, returning to center thanks to a weighted bottom. It looks like you are raising a space baby, and maybe you are (lay a trail of Reeces Pieces to find out for sure). The clear plexiglass is easy to clean (which is good because it’s going to get way more fingerprints and dirt on it than say a regular wooden crib) and the crib can be used as a toy storage container when the child outgrows it. Or you could just use it to hold the world’s largest bar of soap because it looks like a soap dish.
