One of the things I wanted to do was say goodbye to this old VERY annoying dog gate we have had for years! This little thing has drove me crazy it would fall over constantly, it would trip us, it took up space and it was always getting in the way....with three dogs ....it was just a big pain in the ass! (not to mention ugly)
I am not sure why I never bothered to just go out and buy a new one that attached to the wall, it was just one of those things we put up with for no good reason.
T's Aunt gave us a very old crib, although we all kind of knew it could not be used for a crib anymore, we decided to take it anyways because it was nice of her aunt to offer. It has sat against the wall for a few weeks now. One day when I was looking over at it and wondering how on earth I am going to get rid of it... a little light bulb went off and that's how an old crib got a new purpose! It cost us less the 5$, gave us two gates to use and it makes things a lot easier! (now I can at least tell her auntie it wasn't safe to use but we turned it into something very useful!)

| Bye Bye old gate! (no worries it will not be heading to the garbage! It is still in great shape so I am giving it to a friend in need of one!) |

| Crib rails before being cut down to fit door way. |
 |
| After being put up with hinges so that it can swing open! Attached to the wall YAY! no more tripping over or having the gate fall down!! |
 |
Best part is it fits nicely right against the wall so it is never in our way!! Happy Sunday everyone! Enjoy your day!! |
That's so awesome that you made your own gate! I wouldn't even know where to start. It looks great. :)
