#IKEA BOOK SHELF CHANGING TABLE UPDATE#

Update – DIY Ikea hack changing table – Īs you can see from the photo, the wood version of this change table hack did not last to our second baby! In fact, it moved down to the playroom because it was so convenient for stashing toys and books. This Kallax changing table worked so well, that we did it again for our second child, but switched things up slightly. DIY Changing Table for Baby Number Two!Īs I mentioned at the top of this post, we did this Ikea change table hack for our first born, but a few short years later we welcomed another baby. So we’ll be getting to work on the rest of the room very soon.

#IKEA BOOK SHELF CHANGING TABLE HOW TO#

So there you go! How to organize a nursery and repurpose old furniture 🙂 Our crib and a few other items for the opposite wall have just arrived in the mail.

When we did this project, the Kallax was called the Expedit and the measurements were slightly different. Remember, because this is an Ikea hack, you will want to double check the measurements of your Kallax unit before you make your cuts. Here are the cuts for the DIY changing table: We cut them down using our Mitre Saw and sanded them completely smooth. The shelf is 59″ long and 31″ high, but we bought 8-foot boards. Off to The Home Depot to pick up six 8-foot lengths of pine 1圆s. Now to spruce it all up! We aren’t finding out the gender of the baby, so I’m decorating the room using tones of white, aquas, greys and metallics, with pops of wood tone here and there.

Being a brand new Mom, I didn’t even realize we would have to strap the change pad down (duh!) I was pleased the straps on the change pad easily slipped into the shelf and clipped in without creating bulk, and more importantly, the change pad didn’t slip around at all. I’m sure Froggy will appreciate having his/her bum cleaned with a warm wipe 😉ĬHECK! Everything fit beautifully on top.

First, I needed to make sure everything fit. So I placed this Secure Grip Changing Pad and this Diaper Duty Organizer on top and a lamp to the left. There’s a spot on top of the caddy for a Mist Wipe Warmer too.
