Sewing Table


Hello friends...I've got so many projects to share with you, I wasn't sure where to start.  I was a vender at Valley Vintage Market two months in a row ...This kept me working hard to finish things...It also meant I didn't pay much attention to my Blog...So sorry about that!  :)


This was one of my favorite pieces (and my photos turned out good....which doesn't always happen)...
So I thought I'd start with it.


I got this lovely from a friend this summer...stripped and ready to go...How easy is that??
I can't believe it took me so long to get around to painting it...
I guess I wanted it to be perfect and it took a while to figure out what I was going to do.....


I was very happy with my Side Table that was both stained and painted  and wanted to do something similar with this piece....

So I stained the top and the front Walnut..(because that's what I had on hand) and then painted the sides with homemade chalk paint in my usual Martha Stewart white (Glass of Milk).



I think I was influenced with the beautiful autumn colors....because I choose this wonderful yellow for the center...plus it looked great in my living room ...just in case it didn't sell.  :)


I choose a drawer pull from World Market for the center drawer...


and a basic  bronze for the others.


Didn't she turn out lovely?  
And she was a perfect fit in my living room...but she sold on Saturday, so I had to say good-bye.

That's okay...I have a vintage secretary I'm working on that would fit in the same spot...just until it sells of course!  :)
Thanks for visiting and stay tuned for more furniture makeovers!!
I will be linking up to many of the parties on my side bar.  :)

  1. The transformation is lovely. Too bad for your living room, but it is always great to see a piece you created go home with someone who loves it.
