My mom is an incredibly difficult person to buy for. Not because she is stingy, greedy or ungrateful, but because she would absolutely, sincerely love anything she is given. Oh - and she won't ever say what she wants. Punk. Since we made an agreement to make our Christmas gifts this year, it was even more difficult. 1 week before Christmas, I finally thought of something! I was using the same changing table for my boys that my mom used for us girls. It was so old and useless that it was pretty much only good for the garbage. But once again - I couldn't part with it. Can you say "Pack Rat"? I thought, hey, I could hang frames from it and put pictures of us girls with our families! Sentimental, tender, precious, etc.
(I'll be making another for myself, so I'll put pics up as I make it.) I sawed off the back top of the table, smoothed the edges and spray painted it. We found gorgeous knobs and spaced them out evenly on the wood (upside down so it looked cool). I got some frames on sale at Joann's and glued ribbon onto the backs so they could hang from the 3 knobs. I am really happy with how it turned out!
