Spring has definitely sprung! Spring has always been bittersweet for me. I love watching trees and flowers begin to bloom, birds chirp and mother nature waking from a winter sleep, but I am a little sad because I love cold weather. The idea of sipping hot cocoa in front of a roaring fire, or wrapping myself up in a large down comforter puts a smile on my face, and brings me warmth and comfort. If I could live in a colder climate where 4 seasons actually come and go, I think I would feel as equally content with spring and summer.
Now that spring is almost officially here I have started helping my clients purge their winter clutter. A few days ago one of my clients asked me to come up with an idea on how to organize her gardening tools.
Tip #122 The Changing Table
A changing table used to change infants is a wonderful piece of furniture to have, but what do you do with it once your kids are potty trained?? Give up...Turn it into a potting station for your gardening supplies. Coat the piece of furniture with a coat of semi or high gloss paint to protect it from environmental elements. Then stack pots on shelves, stash seeds and gardening tools in the drawers, or create an easy access hanging tote with gardening tools, and gloves.
If gardening isn't your thing, turn the changing table into a one stop craft supply/gift wrapping storage station, shelving unit for storage baskets a mini bar, or even a side table in an entry way...The creative list goes on and on!
The great thing about this piece of furniture is that it can be repurposed based on your need! I guess that's why they really call it a changing table!
