Here is the changing table redone. I am not super pleased with how it turned out. The finish on the pressboard is hard to cover. Maybe if I had a "do over" I would pick to roll paint on instead of spraying it. I like the quick and simple way so that is what I get for that...lol. I ended up washing down the table, drying it and then lightly sanding the surface with a 220 sanding paper (very fine). I ended up using 3 cans of spray paint at $5.79 a can, so the paint did cost me more than the table. I could not find a changing pad that fit exactly so I washed the one that came with it. The pad was trimmed in pink, which I didn't want because the table is for my grandson. I don't sew or have a sewing machine so I bought bright yellow extra wide bias tape and used Liquid Stitch (permanent clear drying adhesive) which is super easy to use. The bias tape was $2.50 and the Liquid Stitch was $5.00 @ Walmart. Anyway...the table was $14.99 and my materials were roughly $35.00. I think I could've done this project cheaper if I had used a can of paint. Anyway, it isn't perfect but it has lots of storage and a space to change the baby.
