Great Ways to Repurpose Your Springs
While we’re not in the business of crafting typically, we do know our springs! Our “creative” department thought it might be fun to share some great ideas for upcycling your springs.
Don’t Sleep On This Idea
Turn your old mattress into a fully stocked organization station with these easy steps.
- Paint the boxspring to match the decor you’re trying to match. Krylon Paint for Metal is relatively inexpensive and comes in a variety of colors, so no match is impossible.
- Depending on the style you are going for and where the station will live pick your holders. Mason jars, folder baskets, even woven baskets or industrial magazine holders can work. Attach with zip ties or cable seals.
- Mount the box spring to the wall.
It’s that easy. This can be used in a garage for toys, in a crafting station for brushes and paints, in your pantry for spices or anywhere else you can think of.
Wine Not?
Is everyone in your house getting a new bed? Let’s turn that boxspring into a rustic wine rack. There are minimal steps to this repurpose–just buy the wine!
Truck Spring Stools
