Trash to Treasure: Changing Table

FINALLY...we have made some progress in the nursery!

But, I'm only going to highlight one of our projects right now.

We decided to take a vintage dresser and transform it into our changing table. I love, love, love shabby chic so I tried to add some modern colors to that type of design. Enjoy!

How it all began...

We removed the drawers to sand and clean...

Keeping the first two drawers, we added thin wood to the bottom areas. We also added a few accents: railing along the top and some scalloped edges across the bottom. This is after a coat of primer...

Now the fun begins! The first coat of paint was a fun turquoise...

With the second being white...

We then went to town sanding the entire piece...really working the edges...to have the turquoise shine threw the white. We also added some pink hardware to the drawers and spruced up a few baskets for extra storage.

 We also bought changing pad covers in lime and hot pink minky fabric...just to keep things interesting!

The room is really starting to come together! Can't wait to show off other aspects soon!
