Reusing a Broken Bunk Bed

Back in May my son broke his leg.  We have been dealing with surgery, doctor appointments, nursing him back to being independent, and now getting his leg back to full health.  So, our recent projects have not been extreme but simple and inexpensive.  Sometimes those are the best ones, right?

My sister gave me a broken bunk bed a while back and with all the inspiration in blog land I have plenty ideas to make the bed parts little masterpieces.

This is the head and foot board of the bed.  Can you guess where we are going with this??  Well, that’s another post but I bet you can guess.  We haven’t quite finished it yet but I’ll give you one more hint.

I can’t wait to get it finished and show you the results.  But for now, I’ll show you what I did with the ladder that came with the bunk bed.  I was given some beautiful flowers and needed a way to display them.  So, I just left the ladder how it was and put the flowers on it.

They now add some color to my deck in a fun creative way. The best part is…it was all FREE.

    What a great way to display those beautiful flowers! I love repurposing things that get broken or are otherwise past their regular usefulness.

    Now to go through the house and garage. I just know there’s something waiting to be used!

    What a cute and cheap way to add some height in beautiful flowers. Now I’m trying to think of what I could put some flower pots on so they aren’t all sitting on the ground.

    Charming! I have plans for a vertical plantern. I was going to start from scratch but perhaps I will use a ladder instead. Can’t wait to see what you do with the bunk beads. Following you. Wishing your son a speedy recovery. Please stop by and enter my summer giveaway.

    Lucky you! And I just saw a bunk bed ladder at Restore and came so close to buying it but didn’t. Hope it is still there when I go back. Love your ladder and look forward to the bunk bed redo!

    It’s a very brilliant idea. You can take advantage of used goods into goods that could be useful. This is great you use it for a place to put the pot so it can be neatly arranged. Maybe this will be an inspiration for others.

    The choice of aTwin over full bunk beds storage significantly increases the usable space in a particular room. Some beds are with these new features such as integrated office space or storage units to provide one of the options. A person may choose to use the space below for storage or a place to read or work.
