Hi, bookjunky4life. Just ran across a crib thread the other day & saved it. Not exactly garden junk buttttt...I'm thinkin if you replace the glass with wood, it would make a cute potting bench. The bench using pallets & an old crib mattress is cute too. Have fun, ~digger Here is a link that might be useful: Crib ideas

elphaba, yes I do think it takes more attention to install. Though at the point I did this floor my only other tile job was my herringbone backsplash that I had done the year before in the kitchen. So I am only guessing that it is more labor intensive. I was cutting my teeth tiling with the herringbone pattern, so who knows. shanghaimom, no way, really? Thank you so much. Pipdog, thanks for the love encore! Divodiva, glad the pictures were described in my original post so I could find them again. Lillo, thanks for the complement, that grout color is an age old family secrete recipe ;) No, its one part Silvershadow and 3 parts Platinum. Laticrete colors in the epoxy grout.

Just reading through this thread again and I remembered this. Shortly after my oldest was born, I wanted to buy an extra crib to put at my mother's house since she was going to host him (I don't like the word babysit when it refers to people like Dads and Grandparents) regularly. I bought one for $60 at a garage sale (circa 1987). Several years later when my younger son was out of the crib, I sold same crib at my own garage sale for, you guessed it, $60. Although I guess the $60 I received in ~1993 was worth less than the $60 I shelled out in 1987, I was pretty happy with the deal. The stuff I gave to the shelter was the stuff I'd had in my own home (as opposed to the crib at my mom's).

You may wont to check out GardenWeb's Garden Junk forum. We've been making all kinds of beds into benches. We also love to post pics! ~~Mimi
