week 2

Okay- last week I was sitting in my car waiting for a train to go by when I looked over & saw a baby changing table right on the sidewalk (next to the trash) So I pulled over & I called my dad to come get it & bring it over to my house. What?- I couldn't get it myself ... & I don't have a husband to do my dirty work:)

First I scrubbed it down . . .

Then I brought it inside

I took off the straps & sawed off the unnecessary parts

Then I painted it white

Lined it with vintage liner I thrifted this week . .

Then I filled it with pretty Pyrex . . .

Happy Friday!

Amanda said...: Love it! I have been searching for a changing table re-style for months and nothing was this clever. Sawing off the spindles and then displaying it from the BACK is key! Thanks for sharing!; Friday, January 21, 2011
