So here we are! Lukas room have been painted (not perfectly, but it will do for now) and furniture moved in. There are still plenty things to get done here, but at least it is functional and Lukas does not seem to be complaining.
Probably the most used furniture right now is the changing unit that have had it’s makeover long long time ago (about one month before Lukas was born). Finally I am able to share about the process how I got it to current state.
It was once a chest of drawers and it was in very bad state. It did not need to have huge makeover, but it did needed some tlc…
The main thing I changed are the drawers. I lined them and replaced the knobs to something more exciting from Etsy.
Once the drawers were ready we decided to build the tray that could hold the changing mat. Joni pointed out that the tray could be removed and used as the drawer once we finished with the nappy changing season (even if it seem it would never end). All sounds good, although there were a slight issue with this idea. The changing mat was hanging over…
I have been reassured that hanging over changing tray would not be a problem. Here are the wood pieces Joni used to make the custom box that was suppose to fit the chest of drawers.
Luckily there were some space on the side for extra miscellaneous compartment. Currently it holds the wet wipes, cream and other very necessary stuff that is very handy (I am sure all mums out there would appreciate).
And this is how we fixed the issue of the tray hanging over the drawers. This anti slip mat that you usually use for car is exactly what made it very stable (believe me, we tested it before changing Lukas nappy on it). I of course used my ultimate tool to fix it in (the stapler).
Hope you found this inspiring 🙂
