Accredited degree programme Photojournalism & Documentary Photography
Photo: Insa Hagemann
It is official now: The photography department is no longer just a branch of study in the degree programme of communication design, now it has a new status and a new name. The accreditation agency ACQUIN announced the decision to establish the degree programme »Photojournalism and Documentary Photography«.
This makes the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hannover the only German university using the internationally used term »Photojournalism and Documentary Photography« to describe the core profile of its photographic education programme. Finally the label and the content match and the not very unique term »photography« for the major focus of this education is history now.
We can also finally say good bye to the former application procedure. After handing in the portfolio and passing the entrance exam all applicants from multimedia, grafic design and photography ended up on the same list. The places were given according to the results of the entrance exam, with no regard to the branch of study or the teaching capacity of the department. Luckily this chaotic procedure ist over now. The new degree programme »Photojournalism and Documentary Photografie« has its own application procedure now. If an applicant, who successfully passed the entrance exam, does not take the placement, the next successful applicant on the list gets it.

In connection with expanding to three or maybe even four professors and establishing the Lumix Festival for young photojournalism as a project of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hannover together with the photojournalist association FreeLens, the new degree programme »Photojournalism and Documentary Photography« makes the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hannover one of the leading international schools in this field.

Honourable mention at UNICEF-photo of the year 2010
From the reportage »Hoard and Clutter« by Fara Phoebe Zetzsche.
Fara Phoebe Zetzsche received an honourable mention in the »Unicef-Photo of the year 2010« competition for her photo reportage »Hoard and Clutter«. She accompanied a family, who suffers from compulsive hoarding, for more than a year. Compulsive hoarding is an obsessive-compulsive disorder which leaves the patients unable to part with things out of a fear of loss or existential fear or out of the fear of making a wrong desicion. Fara Phoebe Zetzsche's photos give an impression of the every day life of this family.
The first prize was awarded to the photographer Ed Kashi for his photo reportage »Vietnam: The legacy of war« which deals with the consequences of the Vietnam war which ended 35 years ago. In the war against the guerilla the USA had used the herbicide agent orange, which lead to cancer, immune deficiency and severe deformities.
During the Lumix Festival for Young Photojournalism 2010 Ed Kashi had been in Hannover as one of the lecturers.

113 photographers from 33 countries worldwide have submitted 1263 photos to the competition this year. The jury chaired by Professor Klaus Honnef awarded three prizes and seven honourable mentions. Each year since the year 2000 Unicef honours photos and photo reportages, that document the living conditions and the personality of children in an extraordinary way. Unicef-patron Bettina Wulff handed out the awards in Berlin.

Workshop with Anders Petersen in Berlin
The Swedish photographer Anders Petersen has held a workshop with 15 photography students for one week. On December 2nd Petersen also gave a lecture in the auditorium of the Design Center in Hannover to tell students and visitors about his photography. The aim of the workshop was to deal intensively with the work of each participant and to advance their unique photographic style. Besides that the programme included portfolio viewings, presentations of photographers and short day tasks.

Anders Petersen told stories of his his life, of his work, of his experiences and of tricks how he approaches other people, and he described which photographers have inspired him ever since and whose works he had been studying. To translate topics into images like »be like an animal«, »desire«, »what I'm afraid of« and »what I prefer to take photographs of« Petersen spured on the students every evening with statements like »Be horrible!« and »Forget everything you have learned. Switch off your thoughts and photograph!«. The discussion was not about the story or the strong single image, it was about expressing oneself and one's own feelings, about posing questions with pictures and not about answering questions.
Anders Petersen tells about his life and reveals some of his approaches and tricks.
By the end of the week the participating photography students were thrilled by the workshop in Berlin-Kreuzberg. Inspired, refreshed and with new points of view, they approach their own projects. Anders Petersen stays in their heads: »Be horrible!«.
The students participating in this workshop had worked on an assignment for »Österreich-Werbung Deutschland« (an advertising campaign for Austria in Germany; as reported on fotostudenten.de), photographing hiking destinations in Austria in the summer of 2009. With part of the fee from this assignment they financed this workshop in Berlin and the lecture of the Swedish photographer in Hannover.

Felix Seuffert wins German Reporter Prize in web reportage category
Photo: Felix Seuffert
Photography student Felix Seuffert and the multimedia production studio »2470media« have won the German Reporter Prize for their multimedia reportage »After the War«. In this reportage Felix Seuffert tells a story which is influenced by the civil war in Congo about the soccer player Carole, who plays in an amature league in South Africa. The statement of the jury says that the author uses the entire range of tools of a web repotage, without using a premade script or an all-knowing voice-over. The jury honoured him for his courage to leave the story with an open end. The piece is part of the multimedia series »Soccer for Life«, which tells about the life of ordinary people beyond the commercial soccer clichées in the host country South Africa. The project was supported by the German Soccer Accociation (DFB) and the reportages were published on »2470media«'s website and on »taz.de« and on »11freunde.de«.
The multimedia production studio »2470media«was initiated by the photography students Jockisch, Shooresh Fezoni, Michael Hauri und Daniel Nauck in 2009 (as reported on »fotostudenten.de«). By now the team consists of several photographers, one reporter, one cutter, one grafic designer, one motion designer and one musician. »2470media« works for editors as well as for companies, that are socially, culturally or environmentally involved. The German Reporter Prize is awarded by the reporter forum in eight categories each year and has already become in its short history of two years the most important awards for journalists in Germany. The award ceremany took place on December 6th in the "Umspann-Werk" in Berlin. With Michael Hauri's reportage »And then I became a muslim« another production by »2470media« and with Lucas Wahl's reportage »On the waste dump« another photography students work were among the nominatees in the web reportage category.

Anders Petersen visits Hannover
A master of photography can be seen and heard in the Design Center of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hannover on December 2nd. The photographer Anders Peterson, who was born in Sweden in 1944, had become known worldwide for his book »Café Lehmnitz. He had followed and photographed the ups and downs of the people on the Reeperbahn in Hamburg for three years.
Anders Petersen visited Germany to learn the language at age 18. He tried his luck with painting and writing in Hamburg, with little success.
Back in Sweden five years later he got to know the famous photographer Christer Strömholm and became not only his student but also a close friend. Strömholm became a companion and an influence throughout Petersen's career.
In 1967 Petersen began to photograph in the Café Lehmnitz in Hamburg and produced more than 350 photographs, which he nailed on the walls of that coffee shop as his first exhibition. Later these photos were published in a book titled »Café Lehmnitz«, which made him well known not only in Sweden, but internationally. By now the book counts as a classic of milieu photography.
Photo: Anders Petersen
Anders Petersen has photographed in nursery homes, maximum security prisons and mental asylums. His photographs show the life of the people who live on the margins of society.
The author of more than 20 books has been recognized for his work several times and had been appointed photographer of the year in Arles in 2003. Anders Petersen lives and works in Stockholm, gives lectures worldwied and teaches photography at the University of Göteborg in Sweden.
Time: December 2nd 2010, 7 pm

Study trip to the picture editors of »stern«
Guido Schmidtke and Andreas Trampe present the work of the picture editors of »stern«. Photo: Nick Neufeld
24 photography students and Prof. Lars Bauernschmitt visited the picture editors of »stern« in Hamburg as a part of the course on photography in newspapers and magazines.
In the conference room of the Gruner+Jahr building Andreas Trampe and Guido Schmidtke gave the students insights in how a picture editor works. They explained the workflow from the ftp-upload, where about 15.000 photos are entered every day by agencies and freelance photographers, to the image database of »stern« up to the lead pictures and to the choice of the big stories. »stern« uses about 60% photos of agencies and 40% photos of their own productions. Each year there are about 20 stories suggested by photographers, that make it into the magazine. In the future small films, interviews and slideshows can become a part of an assignment in the future and will be published in the e-magazine of »stern«. To have a look at the new e-magazine two i-pads with the first issue of the »stern« e-magazine were passed around.
The photography students listened extra carefully when Guido Schmidtke and Andreas Trampe gave answers on how a successfull portfolio could look like and how to present once own work to a picture editor. The chances for a newcomer to get an assignement are better if the portfolio makes a lasting impression with a focus on a certain topic. A picture editor is also more convinced of someone who can turn an every day topic from around the corner into an exciting series of photos, than of a person who takes photos abroad that only impress by their exotic subject. Being able to get appealing portraits out of a very short appointment is a core professional skill and is part of day-to-day business.

The »stern« by ist self-concept highly appreciates excellent photography and is interested in a good cooperation with photographers. »It is important to us to get to know our photographers«, Andreas Trampe summed up at the end of the meeting, »you are the photographers that we are going to work with tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. With some of you more with others less, or with some maybe not at all.«

Photography students on the road in the Wendland region
The most expensive nuclear waste transport so far in German history took 92 hours to reach Gorleben. During those five days the 20 000 police men and women in this large scale operation were taken to their limits by the anti-nuclear movement. More than 30 000 protesters from all over Germany came to the Wendland to set a sign on saturday November 6th 2010 for the largest manifestation. Thousands of protesters and activists stayed in the region to prolong the transport by blocking roads and rails. More than a dozen of photography students joined the protest and documented the event. They were among the protesters, and they were close to the action, also when the first activists started playing cat and mouse with the police, running for kilometres in the twiglight. They felt the cold of the night and the tense atmosphere between the police and the protesters, but also the solidarity among locals and protesters.
©Fotostudenten.de 2010
The wish to disrupt the nuclear waste transport so much, that it would return, did not work out, but the activists were satisfied in the end about the large wave of the protest movement. It rests uncertain, whether there will be any change in the question of Gorleben as an interim or final storage site for nuclear waste, or in the prolonged operation of the nuclear power plants. What is certain already, is that the next nuclear waste transport to Gorleben will take place in 2011. Photography students will be there again, in the blockades and behind their cameras.

Photography students work for the mare magazine again
For the third time in a row photography students of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hannover photographed all the reportages of the special issue »Culinary Art III« of the mare magazine.
Johannes King, a star chef from Sylt, created all six maritime recipes in this issue, that are accompanied by the visually stunning reportages of the photography students. With an edition of 30 000 this issue is one of the most successful formats of the editors of mare. The issue is now available at all well assorted newsagents.
For these six reportages the young photographers from Hannover have been on the road in a wide range of places around the world for the mare magazine.
Kiên Hoàng Lê portrayed the star chef Johannes King on the island of Sylt. He followed the chef, who is originally from the black forest, on his search for the best products: the freshest fish from King's fishing boat, saltwort collected from the tideland and oysters directly from Sylt's oyster beds. All these ingredients found their way into the recipes of the current issue »Culinary Art III«.
Julia Zimmermann followed the tracks of the pilgrims again. Like in her diploma »Stand up and walk!« she delt with the Way of St. James, which ends in Santiago de Compostela. For mare she photographed the »Camino a Fisterra«, between Santiago de Compostela and the Cape Finisterre.
The assignment took Florian Müller all the way to the south of Sri Lanka to fathom the tradition of the stilt fishermen. Through the rise of mass tourism in the eighties the prey and the way of working changed greatly. Only few men still sit on their stilts seemingly motionless in the twilight to fish in the way they were taught by their fathers. While yesterday's fishermen caught small schooling fish, the adapted fishermen of today mostly fish for tourists.
Sophia Mahnert travelled to Valencia in Spain for her story. The city is deemed the origin of the paella. She focused on the question how the fish became a part of the national rice dish. Traditionally paella is prepared without fish.
Where does tabasco actually come from? Jakob von Siebenthal followed the traces of the pepper sauce to Louisiana. Each bottle of tabasco comes from the tabasco factory on »Avery Island«. For 140 years the pepper sauce has been produced there, and by now it has reached the most remote corners of this world. Tabasco is exported to 168 countries, whereas Mc Donalds is only present in 125 countries.
Fara Phoebe Zetzsche travelled to the Portuguese Douro valley, the origin of port wine. She photographed the different aspects of the portuguese dessert wine, from the production, followed by traditons and customs, to the touristic importance of the wine for this region.
The work of the young photography students is quite impressive and can stand comparison with professional photographers. »Their amazing reportages show a lot about their commitment and their talent«, said the chief editor of mare Niko Gelpke about the work of the photography students.

Searching for the traces of traditional costumes in Lower Saxony
Photo: Henner Rosenkranz
Do people still wear traditional costumes today? To answer this question the photography students searched for clues in the rural areas of Lower Saxony. The results are shown during the 4th European month of photography in the exhibition »Nach Neuem Trachten« (»New Look, New Costumes«) from November 2nd to November 14th 2010 in the representation of the state of Lower Saxony at the federal government in Berlin. The opening will be held on November 3rd starting at 7 pm.
The exhibition project led by Knut Giebel takes historic photographs by Wolf Lücking as a starting point for a new photographic interpretation of traditional costumes. Lücking's photos from the 1950s show the traditional costumes of the Schaumburger Land in the context of daily life.
More than 50 years later the photography students search for clues with their cameras: Do people still wear traditional costumes today or are there new dress codes, that reflect regional identity?

Jan Lieske wins the VGH photography award
From the winning reportage »We are suffering here - dead end Rosarno«. Photo: Jan Lieske
What happened in the small town of Rosarno in Calabria (Italy) made it into the world news: 2.000 African migrant workers had to be evacuated to other parts of Italy after racist attacks. Now the touching reportage »We are suffering here - dead end Rosarno« of photography student Jan Lieske won the photography award of the VGH insurance with a price money of 10.000 euro. He describes the poor living conditions of the Africans in the outskirts of Rosarno, where many of them have returned to, because they saw no other alternative. They live in run-down dwellings with no electricity, no drinking water, let alone health care. Every morning they stand on the sides of the arterial roads hoping for a job as a day labourer on the plantations for citrus fruits.
A top-class jury with the picture editors of renowned newspapers and magazines, like Ruth Eichhorn (Geo), Andreas Trampe (stern), Barbara Stauss (mare), Christian Pohlert (F.A.Z.), Michael Thomas (HAZ), and professor Rolf Nobel of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts looked through 46 picture series, essays and reportages, that the students had handed in. The leading picture editors were once again amazed by the high quality of the submitted works. »If I could I would give out more than one prize«, said Barbara Stauss of the mare magazine. »There are a number of works here, that are worth a prize.«
From left to right: Prof. Rolf Nobel, Michael Thomas (HAZ), Ruth Eichhorn (Geo), Christian Pohlert (F.A.Z.), Barbara Stauss (mare) and Andreas Trampe (stern). Photo: Patrice Kunte
The jury agreed on their rating of Jan Lieske's extraordinary work.
»This reportage is phantastically photographed«, said Rolf Nobel to sum up the opinions of all jury members. »The story is told well, there are a varity of different image solutions and above all it is very close to the people. The viewer gets the feeling of taking part in the fate of the African migrant workers and their unworthy living conditions.«
This is not only the opinion of the jury of the 2010 VGH photography award. 34-year-old Jan Lieske, who worked as a painter before his photography studies, has already received international recognition for his reportage this year. He won the »Prix Mark Grosset« and the »Daylight CDS Photo Award« and was presented in the exhibition of the Lumix Festival for Young Photojournalism as one of the 60 best works of young photojournalists worldwide. Jan Lieske studies photography in the 7th semester at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hannover. Soon he will begin an internship at a newspaper in Moscow.

Since 2008 only photojournalism students of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts are invited to enter submissions to the VGH photography award. The VGH insurance sponsors a talent forge, which by now belongs to the leading schools worldwide. Besides the prize money of 10.000 euro Jan Lieske receives an exhibition in the »VGH gallery«, which will be opened with the award ceremony on November 11th.

Perpignan – 12 facets of Hannover's twin town
Photo: Insa Hagemann
12 photography students and professor Lars Bauernschmitt visited Perpignan in southern France in the middle of July 2010. For one week the prospective photojournalists took photographs in Hannover's twin town and its surroundings. The result are 12 completely different photographic works, that show the life, the attitude towards life and the atmosphere of this town on the Mediterranean coast in different picture languages. Each photographer chose his or her own topic and visualised it in a very personal way. The spectrum ranges from the city portrait as photo essay, and the portrait series of local artists to the reportages on oystercatchers and star chefs. Expected as well as surprising insights seen by interested friends.

The reportage »Mother by calling« tells the story of the abbess Christel Lehmann of the convent in Marienwerder. Her husband had died in a traffic accident, her children have their own families for a long time now, so Christel Lehmann decided to live in a convent. She cares for other people all day long - for the employees and the visitors of the convent and especially for the residents of the nursing home. The devotion and altruism of Christel Lehmann fascinated Joanna Nottebrock and moved her to photograph this story.
All together there were five photography students among the eleven finalists. Besides Joanna Nottebrock, Marcus Reichmann, Timur Yüksel, Maria Irl and Jakob von Siebenthal entered reportages in the finale of this award. In 2009 Lucas Wahl won the Digital Reportage Award with his reportage »A day in the life of Saltu Mukhinya«.

Impressive imagery
Montage: Joanna Nottebrock
Students of the photography department and the grafic design department are presenting their works of the composing seminar in an exhibition in the design center. In each of their works they interpret one of the ancient seven wonders of the world with a very personal view. The idea is to do a digital montage of several pictures that results in a convincing composition. The pictures of the wonders of the world open up a colossal space for the viewer and enlighten new horizons. The diversity of the compositions ranges from photorealistic images to trashy presentations.

Lots of hands create something big
The last day of the 2nd Lumix Festival for Young Photojournalism ended with a record number of visitors. More than 20 000 visitors have seen the exhibitions on the Expo grounds this year. 1400 photos of 60 young photographers where presented on the Expo grounds this year, 8 exciting lectures were held by renowned photographers and 20 companies have presented their technical novelties. »Despite all the help of our sponsors, this huge sucess would not have been possible without the outstanding work of our students and numerous colleages, who have worked for it so many days. As professor of this university I am really proud!« summed up Rolf Nobel, head of the festival and professor at the University of Applied Sciences Hannover.
The photography students have worked a long time towards this success. They showed an outstanding teamwork, whether it was in painting more than 200 meters of exhibition walls, or framing more than 1400 pictures, or festival organisation and service during der festival, or the construction and deconstruction of the exhibitions. The enormous interest in young photojournalism and the continuously positive feedback of visitors, picture editors and the media, as well as the exchange with photographers featured in the exhibition and the lectures, more than compensated the students and organisors for the hard work of the last months.

Students visiting »GEO SAISON«
On April 13, 17 students of the department of photography were traveling to the editorial office of »GEO SAISON« in Hamburg. The reason for the journey is the study course »travel photography« under the leadership of Prof. Lars Bauernschmitt, which has the aim to photograph a travel reportage.
Art director Astrid Borowski provides a look behind the scenes of »GEO SAISON«.
Photo: I.C. Hagemann
The editorial office of »GEO SAISON«, which is characterised by its familiar atmosphere, forms a rather small part within the flagship of »Gruner+Jahr«. The students received an open-minded and warm-hearted welcome by art director Astrid Borowski who has been working for several magazines since 20 years. With her statement »New photographers are always sensed as a risk, even when their portfolio is outstanding«, she disillusioned the students right from the start and pointed out that it will be a long way to persist on the magazine market. The secret of success is a good presentation, commitment, the ability to assert oneself and many own ideas. »The picture desk prefers to play safe but is always looking forward to seeing fresh projects, because eventually everything has been done a thousand times.«, says picture editor Mareile Fritzsche.
Throughout the day the picture desk points out to be always in conflict of confirming clichés and providing new point of views. As Astrid Borowski says the editors always try to reflect the soul of a country or a city by the choice of the pictures and the layout. But you are always cought in the middle, because magazines with blue skies and sunshine on their covers sell a lot better.
Astrid Borowski is in the magazine business for more than 20 years now and still likes to look at pictures. »We have the priviledge to show the bright sides of our world. Photo: Joanna Nottebrock
Basically the students left the publishing house of »Gruner+Jahr« with a good feeling. The editorial office confirmed that there are always outstanding pictures from all over the earth. But once you are trying to find pictures from one´s own doorstep thing a are becoming difficult. It was hard to find a cover picture for the upcoming issue which is dealing with the German islands Sylt and Rügen.

This year again eight students of the department of photography were taking pictures for the »GO« Magazine. The monothematic magazine with 130 pages was produced in cooperation with alumnis of the Zeitenspiegel-Reportageschule Günter Dahl and is titled »Raus!«.

Just like two years ago the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hannover will present their educational concepts and study content showing student works of all semesters at the world's largest trade fair for photography from September 21st until September 26th 2010 in Hall 1 - themed »Acadamy meets photokina«. This years' motto is, as announced by the organisers: »Unlimited - exploring limits, experiencing limits, and exceeding limits«.

Exhibition »Germany, no Winter´s Tale?«
From February 27 until April 11, 2010, the group project »Germany, no Winter´s Tale?« will be exhibited at the photo gallery »fotopension«, Marsiliusstraße 55, Cologne. The exhibition opening takes place on Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 7.30 pm.
The title refers to Heinrich Heine´s satirical description of Germany in 1843. Robert Lebeck´s photo essay »Germany in March«, done in 1983, was the benchmark for the exhibited project. Similarities can be found in the radical subjectivity, the willingness to take up position and to express clearly about people, places and situations. In this tradition, the students do not exactly show Germany at it´s best in their photographic review. The project was realized in the years of 2006 and 2007 in charge of professor Rolf Nobel. The result is an essay, telling about wealth and poverty, media lust and pornography, environmental awareness and recycling-world champions, of parallel and fun society, Holocaust and neo-fascism, tradition and high tech.
On exhibition are photographs by Henning Bode, Anja Franzke, Daniel Nauck, Michael Hauri, Tobias Schmitt, Felix Seuffert, Nicole Strasser, Florian Sonntag, Ben Ullmann, Edith Wagner.

Ina-Jasmin Kossatz (picture editor of the photo agency »Laif«): »It was very exciting for me to witness once more, what photography actually can do: I got wanderlust, got affected, inspired, sad, surprised and proud of the newcomers. The pictures of the winners are so intense that I felt my heart beating faster during the judging.«
Other jury members were Thomas Gerwers (ProfiFoto), Guido Krebs (Canon), Oliver Seltmann (publishing house Seltmann und Söhne), Christoph Bamberg (Lumas) and Bernd Sumalowitsch (Selected Views).

What looks and feels like a real cock, but goes the extra mile with a little tingling goodness? A realistic vibrator, that's what! Giving you the buzzing sensation of a traditional vibrator while also satisfying your need for vaginal or anal penetration, a realistic vibrator will totally drive you crazy and intensify your orgasms.
Ranging the full gamut of shapes and sizes, the realistic vibrators you'll find here at Adam and Eve are as unique and varied as real cocks. Slightly curved, thick in the shaft, super veiny, a nice plump head, big balls—we have all kinds. And if your idea of a vibrator is a cold and stiff approximation of nature's love wand, then think again. Made from life-like materials like Futurotic®, Cyberskin and TPE, our realistic vibrators have that perfect combination of softness on the outside and can even warm up to your own body temperature as you use them.
Some are even bendable, making for more versatility in your self-pleasuring or fun with your partner. Our realistic vibrators come in several shades of flesh tone, as well as fun colors and patterns.
We know you love the real thing, but even the most agile penis can't do everything. In addition to getting your buzz on, some of our vibrators rotate and gyrate, teasing all your hot spots and giving you a fuller sensation inside. Our textured vibrators have bumps and nubs that will rub you just right. Remote control models allow for easy manipulation of your vibrator, even from 20 feet away! And of course, if you need more than one speed, we have many multi-speed vibrators that give you more options and more control over your pleasure.
And for the girl or guy who likes to get it on in the bath or hot tub, our waterproof realistic vibrators can handle getting wet when you do.
So go ahead and satisfy your need for real cock and give your pussy or ass that special tingle while you're at it. And once you've selected the realistic vibrator perfect for you, don't forget to add batteries to your order so you can rock your new cock as soon as it arrives.

Changing Tables
+Earn Points
Make diaper changing as fast and easy with changing tables from Kmart
Before you know it, your special little angel will be learning to use the bathroom. Until that happens, though, you're changing their diapers. Make it as easy as possible with the right furniture. Some people change their baby on top of a normal dresser; however, baby changing tables are built to be sturdy and increase safety when changing your baby. They also function as a piece of furniture that can store clothes, changing supplies and other baby gear.
Many changing tables look similar to a small dresser. They frequently contain a few dresser drawers in which you can store clothes and other items. The top of a changing table features safety guard rails all around the edge; these rails are designed to be tall enough to keep your baby from falling without being so tall that they get in your way while changing a diaper. This multi-functionality makes a baby changing table an essential piece of your baby furniture collection. You can choose to store your baby's clothes in the dresser, while storing diapers, clothes and other changing items in the drawers of your changing table.
You can choose changing tables that fit a variety of storage needs. Open storage changing tables almost look like a small bookshelf with guard rails on top. This style of baby changing table might be best if you have large items to store, such as a big package of diapers. They also work well with kids storage bins; simply fill the bins and place them on the shelves for a clean look. Closed storage changing tables feature a few drawers and a few shelves, while others have only drawers. These changing tables do a better job of keeping their contents out of view to completely remove the appearance of clutter.
Finally, choose a changing table that will look great in your nursery. Find changing tables in a wide range of finishes. White and natural finishes have a naturally bright, clean appearance, while medium wood and darkwood finishes have a classic, elegant appearance. You might decide to make the color of your changing table complement the other furniture in the room, or you might prefer to make it contrast the wallpaper, carpet or crib sheets. The color of your furniture has a big impact on the look of your room, so choose carefully.
A baby changing table is an essential piece of nursery furniture along with a crib, dresser and glider. Make diaper changing as easy as possible by keeping your baby in place and storing diapers and cleaning cloths close by. A good changing table is also attractive and adds to the peaceful atmosphere in your nursery. Get started finding the perfect changing table today at Kmart.
