from DIAPERS to COCKTAILS... what????



Every Host or Hostess knows that an essential item in your home is a delegated beverage center. Why not make yours moveable? Guests can help themselves while they mingle and you put finishing touches on last minute appetizers.

I just HAD to share this idea because I'm all about DIY and repurposing items and giving them new life with a totally different use. I found this on BHG.com . Save that baby changing table or dig it out from your attic and give it a paint job and a new purpose.

This end result photo shows a rather modern version, but use your imagination and get as creative as you want. A simple coat of black or white paint and you can keep it modern or distress it for a country cottage look. Line the shelves with a unique paper (protect with clear Contact paper) or a beautiful linen bar cloth. Glasses assembled, an ice bucket, wedges of lemons and limes and martini olives.
The Ultimate Party Drink Book: Over 750 Recipes for Cocktails, Smoothies, Blender Drinks, Non-Alcoholic Drinks, and More

Complete with flowers or decor that compliment your theme. What a fantastic recycle idea. You'll get kudos from your guests for sure, and watch all the baby changing tables disappear from yard sales in your neighborhood.

Happy Hosting!!

Making your life a little sweeter,
