Vintage Sewing Cabinet

I haven't done any furniture makeovers since November...Yikes!!

So I thought I'd share this little sewing cabinet I finish last fall....

Found her earlier in the summer at a garage sale....so when I came across this sweet image of a girl sewing at Graphic Fairy I instantly knew where it belonged.

The first thing I did was paint it with homemade chalk paint...The color is a lovely blue gray called "Rain Drop" by Bher.

I used the same Mod Podge transfer method that I always use.  You can find the complete instructions HERE.

Not sure what is is about vintage sewing cabinets and boxes but I just can't say no to them....I must not be the only one because this little gal sold right away.  :)

The weather has been fridged  this last week but I'm in the mood to paint...so I think I'll work on something small that I can do indoors.  :)  But it is defiantly time for me to get back into the painting groove!!!
Have a great weekend!

Here's a little cutie that I just finished and droped off at my space tonight...Isn't she darling?  I don't usually brag about my things but I just love this piece!  :)

Here's her before pic...not bad but she didn't sell and I had originally planed on painting her anyway....I just put her in the shop until I had the time.

 I painted her with several coats of homemade chalk paint and then added these wonderful images from; The Graphic Fairy.  You can find an easy tutorial on how to do this here.

The fabric is burlap from Jo-Ann's...That I purchased with a 40% off coupon...Of course!

(I also plan on using the fabric, to make a matching bulletin board, out of a vintage frame)

I know that you will probably never see the back but doesn't the vintage postage stamp look great?

And I must say it is so nice to be able to take pictures in my garden again...Yea Spring!!
XXXOOO
