A Special Changing Table for a Special Baby

 

I've been getting a little flack for not posting enough .

That's OK with me .

That means people like to read what I write.

And maybe miss me a little bit :)

 

It's not that I haven't done projects.

I've been doing tons of them.

I just haven't taken the time to blog about them .

 

Well,

I have one I just have to share .

 

Over the weekend ,

Sarah , Emily and I hosted a baby shower for my Darling Niece, Spencer.

Early on in her pregnancy ,

she had asked me to be on the look out for a changing table.

This was before her mother ( my Sis ) became obsessed with buying every baby item

at every garage sale we went to.

 

But would let MY niece have a plain old ordinary changing table ?

That would be a big

 NO , I DON'T THINK SO !

Nope...

 

So I waited till I found the perfect table.

The right size.

The right shape.

Character.

 

 

And I found all that in this old sewing machine table.

It even had drawers for baby necessities.

 

I cleaned her up.

Scraped the loose varnish off the top.

Hubs cut a board to fit  where the sewing machine used to live,

( didn't want baby falling through the hole )

which I then upholstered.

 

TaDa !

 

I had a little issue with the drawer pulls.

As in , it didn't have any ...

and

new ones didn't fit the old holes .

What to do ?

hmmm...

IMPROVISE !

 

 

I found these little white porcelain knobs.

 

 

I thought they were perfect.

Very 'babyish".

Yes ?

 

Here is Spencer's perfectly imperfect changing table.

In her perfect nursery.

 

 

The nursery is full of repurposed and DIY .

Which makes me one very proud Auntie :)
