Sewing Cabinet Refurbished

Before


 After

THANK YOU for all your comments on my previous post. The wood of the cabinet was not in very good condition, so my dad decided to sand it down and restored it to "fit" into our primitive decor using a black satin spray paint. I love it so much that I decided to set it up next to a window in our diningroom. I plan to follow up on all your references and once I get the machine up & going I think this will be a perfect spot to start sewing my eye spy quilt

Meanwhile, the rest of my weekend will be spent enjoying a household of family. Umm...no body told me being a grandma meant rearranging all my lower kitchen cabinets! LOL!
Happy Weekend!
With smiles,
Val:)

  2. Your cabinet looks wonderful - oh, and the sewing one, too. (It's those expensive toys that kids love at this age. He just needs a wooden spoon to strike up the band.)

  14. The cabinet looks great now.
    LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! My daughter used to climb in the bottom drawer that held the pots and pan lids when she was a toddler and banged on the lids with a wooden spoon. That brought back memories seeing your grandbaby in the drawer, lol!!!

  15. Is your dad for hire? I have a treadle machine that needs some tender loving care on the cabinet! Ha! Enjoy this wonderful Father's day with family. Oh by the way, the quilt was a HUGE success. I wished you could have seen what I did for the binding that just set it off perfectly. Maybe picture in the future. Miss you dear friend. Victoria
