DISCLAIMER: I am not pregnant.
I browse craigslist from time to time to see if there may be some diamond in the rough piece of furniture we might want or need for our house. Last week, I found a great buffet/sideboard in a dark wood that matches our dining room table and chairs for a song. The woman selling it was also trying to unload a changing table. Solid wood, only $40! Needed a bit of wood glue to repair the drawer front, but I decided to take it.
Did I mention I am not pregnant?
We do have a five-month-old niece, though. And I hope she comes to visit more often. And now that we have a changing table just for her, there really is no excuse for her not to be visiting.
In addition to needing the small drawer repair, I also wanted to put a new cover on the pad, because who knows what the prior owner did on that thing. Most likely things involving human waste. We don’t want those things touching Allison. So I went to the fabric store to pick out some super-cute kiddie fabric. Here’s how it turned out.

I loved this bright cotton fabric with little bugs all over it. I choose a coordinating green flannel for the other side so the baby’s butt could rest against something a little cozier in cold weather. I sewed some hot pink bias tape into the seam as a sort of faux piping, and closed the cover with hot pink buttons.

I think it turned out so cute, I now have the urge to design an entire kids room around it.
And by the way, I am not pregnant.
