The next project is the changing table. I found it at a second hand website for less than one third of the price at stores. It was in great shape, but it was light blue, and though boys and girls love blue, I thought it was nice to add some personality and a unique touch.
I started by picking the handles. I was thinking about something like crystal, like in the picture:
But a friend of mine suggested this type of classic bronze handles, like there were at my grandma's house when I was little. I have to admit at first I had my doubts but then I agreed it could look really cool. The price was about two dollars each.
I just needed to paint them black.
Re-positioning the handles was not a big deal. With one of those little electric screwdrivers at the drill position, is a very easy task. I also re-positioned the handles at the three lower drawers so they are aligned with the superior ones. (didn't like them in the original layout).
Then I chose four different colors that would fit for a boy as well as a girl, and bought the contact paper to cover the drawers. You can download my Contact Paper Tutorial.
I started with the drawers front.
Then, took care of the inside.
And the contents... before...
After! :)
And this is the final result!! What do you think?
