So besides the bedding, my favorite part of his nursery is his changing table and matching shelves.
My in-laws got us the changing table from a garage sale for $20 and the shelves have been in my room since I was about 5 years old.
I loved having thrifted items, but they just didn't fit the look we were going for.
Let me show you what they looked like when we got them :)

| These shelves have been spray painted different colors for the past 20 years. I would say at least 10 different colors. |
This is where 4 cans of spray paint came in and some sand paper :)
We went to our local hardware store and bought 600 grade sandpaper and 4 cans of Rust-oleum Colonial Red Satin Spray Paint.
My husband and father-in-law sanded the changing table down and sprayed it red. The shelves didn't need sanding so I was going to do those, but the hubs said he would.
The finished products were perfect and matched his bedding perfectly. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out!
Changing Table - $20
Shelves - Free
Sand Paper - $6.00
Spray Paint - $20
Total Cost: $46.00
Re purposing furniture to match what you have is way easier than buying brand new things that already match.
Do you love DIY???
