Changing Table to Coffee Bar Makeover


I am so excited for the Holiday Farmhouse Show coming up this Friday! My booth will be smaller than the spring one, but hopefully people can find something to take home.

Although the fair is a holiday fair, I can’t seem to get into the Christmas mode. My booth will be decked out in Fall splendor. Fall is my favorite season to decorate so I’ll be in my glory getting my booth ready!

Now, for the makeover at hand..

I snagged this changing table for free at a garage sale this summer!

The moment I saw it I envisioned an island or a possibly a coffee bar. Hubby looked a bit doubtful as we loaded it into our already full vehicle but he didn’t complain. :)

It even had a neat little bin on wheels that would make a great trash can.

First I removed the railing..

I wiped the piece with Krud Kutter which is a liquid sandpaper. I then applied a white satin paint with my sprayer. After that was dry, I distressed the edges and gave the piece a coat of Polycrylic, again using my sprayer.

I went through my stash of old barn wood and picked out a few pieces for the top. I added the coffee sign using my trusty Sihouette Cameo.

So, here is the after..

The lighting was a bit hard to work with when taking these pics so I tried a few different angles.

This piece will be available at the fair on Friday..

Hope to see you there!
