"old sewing tables"
around thier homes that are not being used.
So I decided to post a few before and afters of rooms
with and without the sewing tables.
I was given this sewing table by my mother-in-law and it has been in my entry for years!
While doing the room we realized that we could use this sewing table behind the couch as a sofa table.
Love it . . . when you can shop the house and find something unexpected!
We used this sewing table in the entry and it created such a nice welcoming feel.

Nice improvement, don't you think?
We were wanting to create a nice reading area and needed a table.
In the backyard storage shed we found the old sewing table and it worked great as an accessory table between the two chairs.
This area became a comfortable reading nook.
We pulled the chair from the bedroom and the sewing table was in the basement covered with old videos.
Look around your house . . . maybe there is an old sewing table that you can put to use!!
I am participating in Works for me Wednesday,
go and take a look at what others ar working on!
Also check out Transformation Thursday at the Shabby Chic Cottage.
What great ideas! Those are some pretty sewing tables! I just had a garage sale and sold mine! It was rather plain but now you're making me wish I hadn't sold it.

I thru out my sewing cabinet like that ... but I do have an old cast iron sewing machine base that I use as the base of my kitchen table .... too cute.
ReplyDeleteWho knows Shelia, maybe you will find one at someone else's yardsale!!

Sharon, I would love to see the table with the cast iron base.

These are great before and after shots-it's surprising how a little table can make such a big decorating difference!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, NM.
So fun to see the comparison - thanks!
ReplyDeleteI had a sewing table in my first living room. My roommate's mother gave it to her and we recovered the matching chair seat using a staple gun.
ReplyDeleteAngela, what pretty green walls! Maybe you can give us a tour of your home someday.
Isn't it funny how many of us have one of those sewing tables in our history somewhere!
ReplyDeleteYes, I will have to give you a tour sometime. I am in the process of painting my kitchen, stairway and family room --- wow that takes some time! But oooh... it is a nice change.

I am using one for a bedside table and have found another to compliment it on craig's list for $30!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
