Recycling furniture into playstands :-)

[SunnyBird]

I saw this old clothes hanger (do they call it a butler?) at the flea market and the light bulb went on. I needed a high stand that wouldn't take up a lot of space and would be sturdy but light and easily movable. It even has wheels. Well, how about it? I wrapped a couple of toys around the top of it and I bought this scarf hanger thing from IKEA. Sunshine love to climb up and down it.

 

Do any of you have converted furniture for playstands?

Wow what a great idea Renate!! That turned out to be a nice playstand!! You could probably add a board to fit the bottom and put some newspaper on it so it catches the poop and makes it easier to clean, just a suggestion Karma to you for sharing such a good idea! Thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks Caitlin! Actually it has slats across the bottom and a newspaper fits perfectly on it. No alterations necessary - it's just that often I forget to put some down - :blush:

 

I have marble floors (usual in Greece) so there's really no harm done, just a little vinegar and a paper towel and all gone!

Fantastic!! Fits in so well to your surroundings!! It's amazing what you find to use!!! What a great idea for scooting across the marble floors!!! :laugh:

That's a great idea and a Jim Dandy playstand. You are a genius, Renate!! I love it!

What a neat idea and it looks like it is a hit with your bird too, what do they say, "one man's trash is another man's treasure" indeed.

Now this has got to be the most amazing idea i have seen in a very long time. How absolutely amazing. And the idea of the scarf thing how perfect. Really really neat. You need to come to my house just think how creative we can get. hahahhahaha:laugh:

Your too much, Carol!!! ha ha ha It's just such a coincidence, though, how the hanger thing is the perfect fit for the stand! I'd love to do nothing else all day, believe me, but instead I do Administration and Finance - :sick:

 

Cheers!
