Earlier this year, we showed you some amazing ways to repurpose your crib (some creative mamas even found ways to reuse their changing tables), but think again before you toss that mattress after turning your crib into a stylish desk. Moms think of everything — including some inventive ways to give that mattress a second life. Keep clicking to see the results and get inspired!

As we all know, furniture, even high-quality furniture, is not everlasting. Years of wear and tear will get the best of your tables and chairs. But that's not the end of them. So long as it is stable, a ghastly, dinged-up, chipped sideboard can find new life outdoors. Consider using your old tables, storage units, and seating in your garden or garage or as a potting station. A worn finish will integrate flawlessly with your potting soil and those aged terracotta planters. Turn your own home into a recycling plant!
