These crib rails were given to me at a garage sale as a "free with purchase" of a larger furniture item. I can never pass up freebies so of course I accepted! They sat in my yard for three years between some old pallets, until inspiration finally struck! #4thofJuly #Patrioticdecor #Celebration Here it is before: an outdated, unsafe, old crib rail previously painted pink with turquoise accents.
