Antique Sewing Table

by Lisa @ {createinspire}

I love finding an antique sewing machine. Most of them are pretty outdated, but with a little bit of love they can be beautiful and useful again! They make great end or bedside tables or are small enough to use in an entry way or bathroom. See the whole blog post here: http://createinspireme.blogspot.com/2014/02/terra-cotta-sewing-table.html
