DIY Project | Free Dresser = Change Table

Our neighbours had a long narrow dresser on their front lawn with a sign that read "FREE!" on it!

Right away I thought "That would make an awesome change table and it has so much storage in it, it would be perfect for the nursery!"

I ran inside, measured up a few different spaces in the room (that will become the nursery) and my husband and I went over to check it out.

We decided it would be great and so we carried it over, cleaned it up and placed it in the room.

Now all it needs is a coat of paint (the colour will depend on the room's design / gender of the baby) and a changing pad installed on top.

You can't go wrong with FREE and I am sure it will look awesome and function so well in the room!

Before and after photos to come!

Here are some other great examples of DIY Dresser to Change Table Conversions:

From Baby Lifestyles
Our is the same size as this one - so with a little paint and some new hardware it will look like new!

From Twittering Bird
This IKEA Dresser works great as a change table - They painted the drawers Different Colours.

From The Nate Berkus Website
A house Proud Momma shows off her DIY Vibrant Yellow dresser! Like hers our dresser is currently a wood finish. But because the dresser we got was FREE we don't have to worry about the wood finish and can experiment with painting it in fun colours to match the room.

Can't wait to get started on ours!! Of Course Ill be Prego SO my husband will have to do the paining. Oh Darn! hehe
