scubababe Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 This is my sons old cot which I rescued from the skip My thought process is to make some roosting bars of some description & maybe a swinging bar & maybe use some as ladder up to the cube co-ordinating accessories I think they are a good size for the ladies feet...unless you think differently DSC_0013 by skubababe, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Good idea but get some acrylic paint and brighten them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I think it's too nice for the girls. I'd restore it- but then I am looking for something to do up for my new grandchild due in September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to restore it...unfortunately my son did a good job on wrecking it so it was a rapid swap to a bed before it collapsed completely It's had a good life...4 years with my uncle being used when he was babysitting his grandchildren and then had my 2 in it Hmmmmm ideas ideas ideas...

bluekarin Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I think you'd need to be careful about using them outdoor in the elements. Your idea as roosting bars or ladder for the girls is great, and would look great with a lick of paint. We used an old cot as a stair gate on our back door, so we could have it open, but the toddlers couldn't escape. Some fantastic ideas here upcycling a cot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roosting bars etc would be in my WIR which will be reasonably weather proofed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
