4. Landing Pad
You know that obnoxious spot at the bottom of your stairs, where you start making piles of stuff that needs to make its way to the bedrooms? Well, mess no more! You can turn an old changing table into an organized and cute “landing pad,” where everything is neat and tidy. Use baskets to identify which areas of the house the items go in, and people can even grab the whole basket and take everything upstairs at once! This is such a cute piece that no one will even notice it was once a changing station.

5. Play Kitchen
How adorable is this play kitchen? If you’ve ever thought of buying one, you were probably turned off by the price and maybe even the overall “plastic-ness” of the ones on the market now. This kitchen is truly adorable and has a whimsical feel to it because it’s homemade.

8. Dress Up Station
Kids love dressing up, but parents don’t like piles of dress up clothes and jewelry all over the house. You can turn your old changing table into a cute and organized place for all of your kids dress up clothes to hang out. You can add a tension rod so you can neatly hang clothes, and add baskets for all other accessories. So easy and so functional!

9. Bedroom Storage
Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best ones. If you have an old changing table and a spare bedroom that needs decorating, then keep it simple. Slap a nice coat of paint on your old changer and use it in a craft or spare room to house extra linens, serve as a dresser for guests, or to display a craft item like quilts.

10. Entertainment Center
Entertainment centers are a costly piece of furniture and many are bulky and non-attractive. That’s why most of us end up using small tables! But it’s nice to have a unit that can hold all of our boxes and players, right? That’s where your old changing table comes in! The changing table above was simply spray painted a new color, some breadboard was added to the back to enclose the shelves, and an inexpensive decorative scroll was added the front. I would never guess it was a changing table!
