Changing Table to Bench

$5
2-3 Hours
Easy
This changing table served 4 babies thru the years, so I couldn't bear giving it away. I decided to try my hand at repurposing.
Before (not exact one), but looks exactly like it. I had to break it down at my sisters in order to get in my car.
I reassembled 2nd and bottom row and added 2x4 pallet pieces under for support (these came from trash at Home Depot). Top was attached to back.
Next I painted with the help of my 7 yr old. Paint was a mismatched quart $1 from Lowes. I used about half. Fabric bins I had on hand (they don't match) that came from Dollar Tree.
Seat was made from leftover plywood cut a bit smaller, then I took twin matters pad (looks like egg crate) and cut approximately 5 pieces for pad. Then covered with fabric shower curtain from local thrift store $4.50. Stapled in place. Made pillows from upholstery samples.
Total investment $5.00


Fabric shower curtain $4.50


Half quart ($1.00) $0.50


I did this without the help of the hubby. She loves to sit with me on here and read at night before bed.

    Hi, would you be more specific about how you installed the wood support on second row?

    Thank you so much
