Nursery Changing Table: Before & After

When thinking of how I wanted the nursery to look, I knew I wanted to transform this dresser into a changing table to match the crib. We bought this dresser a little over year ago for a whopping $25 knowing that we would eventually have children and be able to use it in the nursery. It took my Husband Josh and Mom just a few hours to complete the entire project. I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out and I am so grateful that Josh and my Mom took the time to do this project for me and baby girl.

Project Cost Breakdown:

*Dresser: $25

*Paint to match crib: $30

*Paint supplies: $20

*Knobs: Josh used to work in cabinetry, so we already had these knobs

Total Project Cost: $75 (now that's what I'm talking about!)

Turning The Tide

Two entrepreneurs saw an opportunity where everyone else saw trash, transforming discarded tuna skins into stunning leather goods. In this short video, it explores the fascinating world of Etsy shop Khogy, which aims to inspire environmental action with accessories made from local waste materials in Sri Lanka. Khogy’s founders, Jenny and Caroline, are committed environmentalists and entrepreneurs. When they learned of the millions of tons of fish skins discarded every year by the fishing industry, they saw an opportunity. By reclaiming tuna skins, tanning them, and transforming them into a unique collection of leather accessories, they are creating objects that share a powerful story about the world we live in.

Trash to Treasure: End Table Redo

Over the weekend, I decided to finally paint our living room end table. We bought this end table on Facebook Mesa Consign for $20 as a project piece. Well...this end table sat in our living room for a few months until I actually had time to get around to redoing it. I didn't even think about using this table redo project as a post, so I forgot to take a picture of the table before I painted it. I only have pictures of the finished product unfortunately. But.....I did manage to search the internet to find a used dresser with what the color and the condition of the end table looked like before. See below...

This was the color and the condition of the end table before I painted it. Maybe just a little bit darker.

 I was going to paint the table black, but our leather couches are black. I also wanted 

a light color to brighten up the room a bit and really bring out the duck egg blue colors

and light grey accents that we have in our living room. I decided to paint it bright white.

I really do love the way it turned out! It completely changes the look of our living room.
