SubscribeChanging Table to Drink Cart Baby Furniture Makeover
For those of you who have old baby furniture stowed away in storage that you swore you would give away to charity, GoodWill, or to expecting parents but never got around to it, fear no more! There is now a way to not only keep furniture you spent good money on maybe years earlier, but actually reuse it and get a lot of use out of it now.
If you have an old baby changing table, Better Homes and Gardens has a wonderful idea to work it back into your everyday life without even hinting towards what it’s purpose used to be.
Take your ordinary baby changing table, get a little creative with it and apply your own personal taste. The table’s waist-high and size and shelves makes it the perfect object to make over into a drink cart. The exterior can be polished, painted, and decorated and it’s shelves give perfect space for bottles, glasses, and snacks. Attach some wheels to the bottom and you’re good to go for your next entertaining event or relaxing night at home.
If you’re not the type to have a drinking cart or don’t have a need for one, your changing table can also be remade into a decoration piece or microwave stand for your kitchen. The possibilities are virtually endless.
Have fun!

That is a great idea for a drinking cart. And if I didn’t have a need for one before, I certainly will by the time I am done with the baby change table.
I just purchased a changing table on clearance ($20). It works well as storage in my bathroom and it matches the cherry wood cabinets. I have baskets with towels, toiletries, candles, and some decorative items displayed on it.
I needed an idea to refurbish the very sentimental but relatively inexpensive changing table we have had for years….I love the idea of using it in my bath for shelving, towels, accessories, etc. using baskets to organize, etc…It matches my cabinets! Tomorrow, I show for cute baskets and bins and I get to do some organizing!! YEAH!!!
Wow that’s a pretty neat idea. A microwave stand is a great idea as well.
Very creative. Great idea! Thanks for sharing
That drink cart is a wonderful idea. The hanging glasses seems a bit tricky, but the effect is great.
This is actually a good idea to organize crafts- good for kids crafts in a mudroom or kitchen.
Nice way to store paints, pipe cleaners and glue
I am so sick of plastic stacking drawers!
Such a great idea. I can’t wait until my daughter doesn’t need changing any more so I can get a new drinks trolley.
WOW! What a great idea . . . I have 6 children and I really can’t bear to part with some of the furniture they used so this would be a wonderful way for me to justify keeping it . . . my husband is constantly asking me to clean out the attic
A lovely idea!
With so many people renovating and re-using items in their homes, the equipment needed – everything from paint to sanders – is available every where – and cheap, too!

I am amazed at that beverage cart. There is no way any of my friends would recognize what it was before.
That is a very neat idea. I recently purchase a toddlers bed from babys ‘r us that can be transform into a full size bed. The bed itself is about $200 more than normal toddlers bed but well worth the price considering that the bed will last for over 10 years.
I really like it when people do creative things. Your post just inspired me to do soemthing with my sons old baby furniture. Thanks
Oh my gosh. What a great idea. I love to entertain and I am thinking this is a great idea to use for a mini server, too.
Thanks so much for the great idea!
Wow, I can’t believe how amazing the drink cart looks — what a great idea. I would love to hear more ideas, as I am not at all creative, but once I see an idea like that it is fun to implement and try it out. I wonder what I could do with some of my other unused furniture just sitting around in my basement.
Thanks again for such a great idea – keep ‘em coming.
Cheers
Amazing idea! I really respect people who can use their brains and do something creative.
I’m so glad to have found a site where ideas are being exchanged for repurposing baby furniture!
I have an old crib that has been in the fam a long time I’d like to incorporate into our home some way. Any ideas?
HaHa! thats such a good idea, I have actually never heard of people doing this before. Looks like alot of work though.
This is great! Affordable, practical, nice post to help people recycle furniture.
Thats a great idea. If you have a leftover changing table, it means you now have a toddler, which means you need to drink!
i love the idea of turning the cot into a desk as well – love the whole upcycle idea!
I need an idea about how to repurpose an antique (1940′s era) baby bed. Anyone have ideas?
