Exciting transformation happening in our guest room!! I've always used drawers under the changing pad to store diapering essentials, but planning to change it up with these storage shelves that can be used later on for books, trinkets, or whatever the boys find on their adventures. Can you believe these amazon shelves were just over $25 for the set? Talk about a look for less!! A little sanding, stain, and paint and they match perfectly with our timeless antique furniture and decor in the room. I have all of our must-haves in one place (and out of reach for our toddler.. lesson learned 🙃) and get more storage space in the drawers for our non-hanging clothes! For the shelves: I first sanded the cane webbing to remove some of the coating and expose some of the cane below, so the stain would penetrate deeper in places and give the antique look I wanted. I then mixed about 1/4 cup of clear poly, 4 tbs of weathered oak stain, and 1 tbs of special walnut stain and added/dried layers until they matched a rattan tray we have (about 8 layers total). I assembled all except the front cane pieces, covered both sides of the cane with foil, and sprayed the wood with a french cream spray paint. Once dry, I added the fronts and mounted them using the included level and screws and a screwdriver. It also comes with drywall anchors if they're going to be holding heavier items or used by clumsy kiddos 😊 I also stained a cane picture frame with the same stain mixture, can't wait to show you! amazon dupe diy antique cane storage shelves | pipette nontoxic baby diaper rash cream | pipette all natural talc-free cream to powder | pipette baby balm mess-free stick | fridababy windi gas passers | vaseline for windi and circumcision care (we actually keep it in a peri bottle so it's easier to squeeze out and less risk of contamination!) | clear plastic mason jars with lids for storage | pampers swaddlers diapers | pampers pure baby wipes LTKbaby LTKfamily LTKhome
