Opening Night - Changing Things Up


I get the itch to move furniture around. A lot. (and not just at my house). My sister says it’s an illness. I’m not sure if that is her professional medical opinion or just a personal opinion. Hmmm?I think it's fun to move things around and see if the room can look or function better. Buying new furniture would be great, but that’s just not in the cards right now. So I make do with what I have on hand. Most of the furniture we have in our home has had several lives- being used for one purpose or another. When Thing # 2 finally decided to cooperate with potty training (still in progress) we were left with a changing table with nothing to doo-doo (too much?). So I decided to change it.

After 2 coats of basic black spray paint (My hubby “CC” bought the store brand from Lowe's Home Improvement for $.99!! and I am happy to report that it worked just fine) I think it looks much better now.
Behold!
Good enough to sit on the front porch and greet guests at the door. I plan on using it as a potting bench/toy corral. If I ever get my Halloween decor out and about, this little spot will definitely get spooked!
