Welcome. It’s finally time for another MayDae edition of Project Restyle! I was supposed to post this 2 weeks ago (oops!), but I was majorly lagging – sorry. The good news is, Stormie Dae will be posting her Project ReStyle soon (next week!), so you won’t have to wait too long for the next one.
For this project, I used an old, wobbly doll bassinet that I found in the the trash (trust me, I am not above digging through trash cans), sawed the legs off, painted it seafoam green, and hung it horizontal on the wall. I used contact paper for the back, and some hooks to hang it with. Then I just found small items from around the house that I love (the heart shaped doily hanging from the bottom was made years ago by my Grandma Daisy!) and placed them in and around the shelf.
I was afraid that it would just look like a crib hanging on the wall (and let’s face it, it kind of does), but I like how it turned out:)
Now, to get started on my next project….
Love,
Stephanie May*

I honestly would not have known it was a crib if you wouldn’t have shown pics and said so. It is really cute!!!! Way to go :-)

Love this! We have a non-usable changing table and have been thinking about doing something similar.
