One of our favorite ways to save on decorating is to simply re-purpose. When my youngest grew out of the crib, we found a new way to use the pieces; and this one has become one of my favorite decorations ever! A crib spring frame. It is exactly how it sounds. We literally hung the crib spring on the wall to use as a huge picture frame. Easy, cheap, and super cute!
Here’s how to do this in your home:
Find studs in the wall or use wall anchors and screws to hang the crib spring. We hung it by using the existing hardware on the spring. Put screws in all four corners. 
Curtain clips work perfectly for holding pictures. We found these at IKEA. 
Our crib spring displays pictures, quotes, and even some kids art that is totally “osum!” (awesome:). 
This cheery display hangs on the wall by our stairs, so we see it every day, all throughout the day and we love it!
Of all the decorations and projects in my home, this crib spring frame probably gets commented on the most. We love how easy it is to switch out the pictures and quotes, and how unique it looks on the wall. I also love that it’s from the crib that all four of my babies used. 🙂 Best of all- it was practically FREE! So when the itch to re-arrange, re-organize, or re-decorate hits, don’t forget to browse around (or ask around) for items to re-purpose:).
