Upcycle: Baby Changing Table to Desk

I picked up this incomplete baby changing table from atrash pile. If you'll notice, there are only 2 support beams, and two shelf pieces,therefore I couldn't just reconstruct this as a baby changing table. I love challenges like this!

I tossed around a few ideas: a tree swing, a bench and a desk.

I went with the desk because I don't have a good tree swing worthy branch and I don't need another bench.

What do you have in your house that could be converted into something more useful or needed in your life?

    This looks great. I'll have to remember this one. I just gave up my home office, but eventually I might be able to have one again - and I could use the changing table my babies used.

    Oh I love this! If you need one you could add a cork board by adhering sheet cork to the back panels. You'd have to use straight pins or the itty bitty sequin pins but it could work.
