After much deliberating, I’ve decided to go with the dresser as a changing table option. It turned out that our existing desk was just too big/deep and the amount of money it would have cost to get the right baskets for storage underneath…let’s just say the dresser was the way to go.
So I headed back to the Paterson Habitat ReStore. Much to my surprise, one of the dressers I had seen a few weeks ago (one that worked in terms of style, dimension…and certainly pricing), was still there. I bought for under $35 and **am now in the process of repainting/staining it.
**and of course by me, I mean my awesome dad 🙂
Oh, and please pardon the picture quality. These were all taken with my phone.

Awesome choice! I’m glad your dad is undertaking the sanding and painting portion, aren’t pregnant ladies supposed to steer clear of fumes and such? I don’t know, might be an old wives tale. I can’t wait to see the outcome!

You will enjoy it now and for years to come. The dresser that I refurbished for my kids (it was used as each baby came along) is now being used by my kids in their own homes (again passed around as needed).

Hooray for awesome dads!

I Love this choice for a baby changing table! The best is the details in between the drawers. I can’t wait to see what it looks like after you (and your dad!) finish it!

I’m excited to see how it looks! The dresser is a great idea, you can use that forever instead of just a few years.

Wow cool. I really like your plans, the stained accents will bring character to this. Now the accents look a bit… well cheap.
Good choice. You can use this dresser for such a long time.
