Changing Table to Bar Cart

Patient diagnosis: Admitted for observation. This baby-changing table had no structural or cosmetic problems. Its only flaw was that it was no longer needed for its original purpose.

 

Design triage: The changing table's storage shelves and waist-high height make it a perfect bar cart. The shelves were adapted with metal racks for hanging wineglasses and storing cans and bottles. A rack on the side stores drink garnishes, and hooks hold bar towels. Once the safety strap was removed, the top shelf was cut to hold an ice bucket, while guardrails rein in bottles and snacks. After being sanded and primed, the table was painted with white semi-gloss paint. Printable water-slide decal paper images of popular drinks were glued to clear sheets of corrugated plastic, then applied to the sides of the table with finishing washers. Casters were added for ultimate mobility.

 

Expected recovery. Full. No longer recognizable as a baby-changing table, the hip bar cart is ready to be wheeled out for an over-21 review.
