What do you have over your changing table?

The dresser with changing pad was originally going to go under a window. However, we changed our mind as it fits best on a wall in the room that has no windows.

My original plan was to decorate the wall with framed fabric and prints.  However, based on my experience with my 18 month old, I don't think that frames over the changing area is the best idea.

I know I can always do wall stickers, but I did that in DD's room and I'm looking for some fresh new ideas. Just curious what everone else's plans are.

We have paper lanterns hanging over the changing table.  LO loves looking and pointing to them when getting changed.

We have a long shelf. It is placed high enough, and narrow enough, to not be an issue when changing. We taped pictures of animals underneath it got DD to look at during changes they actually keep her entertained!

We have lanterns too.  DD loves to stare at them when the air vents come on and they blow around a little.

We have a gallery wall with embroidery hoops, a paper mch letter, and a couple of framed photos. The frames are out of reach. I figure if it gets to the point that she grabs at the hoops, at least they are round and light weight.

We have little wooden animals that I got from Michael's.  He loves "talking" to them, and he does it every time he is on his changing table.  It was the last thing I added to his jungle nursery, and probably my favorite thing about it!

We have a bright orange mirror over the changing table.  It matches the room and I thought my son will enjoy looking at himself once he gets older.Smile

I'm a fan of mirrors above dressers...but I just think they are suppose to be there!  Then I have some decor around the mirror. I also have a decal above my mirror!

We have framed prints above the change table which I will admit is occasionaly a bit of an issue/attraction with DD (21 months old) as is the light switch she can reach when she's on the change table.  But generally she is pretty good (not worth taking down the frames).  

 We did white frames, with white mating and used pictures from a story book ("Guess how much I love you").
