I love this idea. It is the best reinvention for an old sewing machine table I have ever seen. Well done!!
Lovely. And very well done
Beautiful!!
With machine removed they make a great hobby table, especially if they have multiple drawers. Nail/glue a back stop 2-3 inches high at the rear of the top,
OH.........MY..........GOSH!!!!! I now have sewing machine table/ vintage bathroom vanity ENVY now! just gorgeous!!!!
My first makeup case was my dads old tool box. I painted it lavender. I like yours so much better! The most unexpected recycled vanity I ever saw belongs to a neighbor. He plumbed out a roll top desk and when the roll top is lowered the sink disappears completely. All those small compartments hold a wealth of small toiletries from ointments, shaving cream, razors, toothpaste, combs and brushes. He crafted doors , recessed into the kneehole of the desk, to hide plumbing and large towels. (He used caning framed in oak to allow ventilation under the sink).
I envy people who can not only think outside of the box, but make it look like a natural extension of it's original purpose.
-purchased base of old Singer machine - had a 42" table top cut - purchased
2 old ice cream parlor rusted chairs and removed the rust and recovered chairs.
Placed the 3 pcs in the corner of my small - total cost about $15
Purchased one old complete sewing machine - including iron base, petal and wheel, foldable table top, sewing machine and drawers. The cabinet was in sad
shape - I cleaned it up painted each part of the cabinet with whimsical colorful
patterns. It now sits in back of my living room coach with the sewing machine
exposed and an interesting lamp
What a great idea, beautiful job.
I've never seen anyone upcycle an old sewing machine as a vanity before. This is a genius idea. Very unique! I might be tempted to add a skirt underneath to add a little more country charm, but that's just me.
