Turning Dresser into Changing Table

candace4erich · October 2015

I'm a FTM expecting twin girls, and instead of buying a changing table and dresser, we've saved space (and added storage space) by buying one larger dresser with good amount of space on top. I'd love to set up a corner of it with a little section to keep diaper change stuff organized and right at hand. I'd rather have something that holds all the supplies than just putting them on the corner and inevitably knocking them off 20 times a day. Does anybody have any suggestions for finding a diaper change organizer? Or a DIY one? Thanks!

Here are some things I was thinking about:

Cart is from Ikea, but World Market has similar.

Using one of the drawers

pegboard and baskets

I was also going to suggest using one of the drawers, but now I'm in love with the pegboard and basket idea.

We use a basket for holding everything. My sister uses a shower caddy to hold items in different spots.

We used a changing pad on top of the dresser with DS and then used a top drawer to store diapers and the box of wipes/diaper cream. This way there was nothing for them to really knock over.

We had a basket next to the changing pad with the diapers, wipes, desitin, etc. and it never got knocked over.

We just use a diaper caddy. Put it near their head on the dresser.

We used this one with both kids and loved it. https://www.amazon.com/Prince-Lionheart-Dresser-Diaper-Depot/dp/B00006408K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1444482800&sr=8-2&keywords=prince+lionheart+diaper+depot

Also, I would suggest using the top drawer.

I just used the top drawer with some organizational boxes from Ikea with my DS. It worked great!

I also used the top drawer with baskets so I could hide the clutter.

I love that cart! Def gonna look that up. But I was also thinking of just using a basket. I'm using my own dresser as the changing table I think. We're sharing a room with baby. Now I just need to figure out where to put my own stuff. Maybe some small shelves.
