My Goodwill Find...

The before...
Here is how it turned out-


The story behind the changing table-
I found this changing table at Goodwill.  I thought it had great potential and was getting tired of bending down on the floor to change Maylee's diapers!  I decided to wait one more day (until Saturday) to buy it since they mark everything another 50% off.  So on Saturday morning my mom went to buy it for us.  It was gone!  I couldn't believe it sold so quickly.  I was pretty disappointed and continued to change Maylee's diapers on the floor.  

A few weeks later we stopped by again.  I went into the furniture section hoping there would be some kind of changing table that would suffice.  As I turned the corner, there sat the changing table!  It was marked down to $30.  I was thrilled, but again- I didn't want to pay full price when I could wait one more day and get it half off.  I took the risk of it being gone and waited.  That Saturday we checked to see if it was there.  Of course, it was.  I am quite happy with my new changing table that only cost $15!  I love it!

Heidi- you did a great job on the changing table, it's so cute. I found a changing table once that I LOVED and went back to get it and it had sold, I was so sad and still am.

I can't believe you have been changes her diapers on the floor this whole time. That would be tiring. It looks awesome. What a great makeover. You and Jeff are such professionals. Do you offer lessons? I like Maylee's name on the wall too. Super cute!
