The child has grown up, and no longer needs a crib, but a desk to study, draw and play. Learn to modify an old crib to make it a practical desk.
From the desktop cradle
Current Cots are truly multifunctional solution for young families. They are a place of rest, fun, safety, a place of exchange, an organizer, and really pay homage to its name: multiple functions. However, they lack the charm of traditional wooden cribs, spacious favorite for its delicacy and practicality. They are also very durable. This allows you, once grown our baby, we modify slightly the structure and convert into small beds.
Indeed the advantage for several years, however, when children are past the age of infancy, its small size makes this small and decorative bed no longer serve its purpose. That’s when we give more touches and traditional cradle become a handy desktop child to accompany our small in the beginning at school age.
How to transform the crib into a desk
We begin by releasing the crib or bed (the crib without your sidebars). We remove the mattress, pillows, and also withdrawing the barrales. Then cleaned to perfection the item, and give a neat sanded all parts. Then we will mount, with some changes, so we can take ahead and paint the bottom and sides separately, practicing the necessary holes for rear mounting.
To make this school desk, we will use the sides of the crib, raising the base of the elastic bed (which supports the mattress) to a height that is comfortable for the child. You can drill holes in the sides at different heights, lifting the lid to go as your child grows.
To prepare the cap, cuts and places a timber to fit over the spring. The cover must be flat and level, ie should not be exceeding its height steps. Once cut timber, give it a white base coat, and then designates an outline frame, which will paint the same color as the rest of the piece. The center, however, will be painted with special paint for whiteboards. This will allow your child to write and draw over the top. Even could put in front of the hinged cover and two foldable feet in its counterpart, in order to raise the cover as a conventional whiteboard.
Then the structure mounted lid placed at the proper height, the sides, and also the rod back, and with all the parts painted and well prepared. Place a few pieces of velcro or hooks to hang, to place bags and bespoke containers, where your child will be able to keep your pencils, brushes, watercolors, and all the elements you use. As she gets older you can change the containers, decorating or creating your taste.
A good idea is that with each increase in height from the top of the desktop, modify desktop appearance. For this you can paint it again, or just keep changing their elements, magnetic chalkboards or marker (fiber) lamps, desk, drawers and other lower guard.
Just need to put a chair right size for your child, and you have a desktop cradle the measure.
