Changing table

                                 We bought this on craigs list for $15 and it included the changing pad :)

Take the changing table apart

                    (make sure to put loose screws in                      

a bowl or some where safe)

I did not use a sander on this project and I wish I had because it took way too many coats of paint. 

My advice would be to use sand paper and lightly go over the wood just to get the glaze off so the paint sticks better.

Lightly clean the wood to get all the wood grain off.

Now you are ready to paint.

Let it completely dry.

Add additional coats if necessary.

Let it dry again.

It's better to leave it over night just to be safe

put together and...
 VUALA!

Be careful not to sand too much or you will change the shape of the wood.

Nursery

I decided to go with Grey and Navy Blue for my sons nursery because it can easily be switched for a girl. Just take out the blue and add the pink :).
