The Nursery Changing Area Makeover

Well it has been a few months since the little one made his grand appearance early, luckily I had finished painting and waxing the changing area just in time. There are are a few things I still want to do to complete the nursery like getting a side table for by the glider,  a few prints for the wall and a cute big hamper basket but otherwise it is done. I like it because it is simple and clean there is not a lot of clutter and the pieces that are there make a statement. Here is the entertainment center/armoire it can be used as both I used it for clothes. I am pleased with how it turned out and it has just enough color in the room to make it pop and still be gender neutral.

I kept the knobs from the top drawer and used them instead of the pulls

Every surface has two coats and the inside had to be waxed since the changing pad buckles scratch the paint easily. I like this paint was easy to work with and has more vibrant color selection than Annie Sloan but it chips easily and requires wax unlike Annie. It does stay a chalky finish even with wax which I like since you can buff Annie Sloan and make it not a chalk finish. So if using the CeCe Caldwell on a high traffic or high use area you need to protect it with wax, no big deal just an extra step that I had to get the hubby to do since that did have an oder. 

I do tend to keep it open since we are using this space very frequently but it can be closed and still looks nice when we need the room as another guest room.
