Upcycling the Changing Table

2009-07-14-changingt.JPG

What does this photo have to do with a changing table you ask? Look closely and you'll see the IKEA Sniglar changing table upcycled into this vintage-y pottery display. Jump below to see what has become of its other half...

It has, of course, become a cat perch. Cut in half, the Sniglar is the perfect depth for a perch right beneath a window and for a shallow display table. Both of these plus the time as a changing table, for $40. We're impressed.

Very, very clever.

I was thinking about putting my son's on CL, but now I'm not so sure....

not a fan of the kitschy fleamarket pottery display & odd chalkboard labels (?), but the creativity behind the IKEA hack is original.
