DIY - Baby Changing Table

By suzyrenovator

I've always loved giving old or antique items a new lease on life by transforming them or re-purposing them for use as something other than what they were originally intended.  A perfect example - the dirty, old singer sewing machine base that was picked up for next to nothing at a flea market then left to sit in my garage collecting more dirt and taking up space until I could find a use for it.  When I became pregnant and began the fun process of setting up and decorating the nursery for my soon-to-arrive bundle of joy, the perfect use came to me.  My baby was going to need a change table.  Rather than buy a typical (and in my opinion, unattractive) changing table, I would build one myself using that old singer sewing machine base.

Faynilla,

I wish I did!  The change table was somewhat dismantled when I didn't need it anymore.  The base is now living a third life - the MDF top has been painted and it's now being used as a side table by a friend.  Not sure what happened to the box portion.  I might have to build another one just for the purpose of taking a picture.
