After I saw Sarah’s sewing table redo last summer and told a friend about it, that same friend gave me a spare sewing table from her basement and I copied Sarah’s as much as I could. Mine did not have the sleek legs that Sarah’s did but I loved her shape (table-not Sarah’s-though Sarah I’m sure has a lovely shape) nonetheless. This post does not need a long step-by-step tutorial, I’ll just post photos with captions-that should do it. I won’t do to you what Mark tried to do to me when he made a hole-in-one a bunch of years ago.
Mark: “Do you want to know how golf went today?”
Me: “Sure!” (Please don’t tell me every shot club-by-club).
Mark: “I got my first hole-in-one.”
Me: “Wow! That’s awesome! Congratulations!” (This was with sincerity-I haven’t played a lot of golf-but a hole in one is rare).
Mark: “Can I tell you about the hole?”
Me: “Let me guess….you teed off and the ball went in the hole. Can there be much more to the story?”
Mark: “Well actually…..” (there was a tad more to the story but I won’t go into it here. It involved a rolling golf ball).
What I’m getting at is….this makeover basically involved sanding, priming (which knowing better now-I’d skip) and spray painting with flat black.
Here she is looking all plain, naked and sad. Doesn’t it look like she’s one-eyed?
Looks like somebody had a fight with an electric sander AND LOST!
DING-DONG! Looks like somebody got caught in their unmentionables! Where’s your robe, honey?
Whhhheet, whhhherl ! (that’s an objectifying cat-call whistle) All dressed up and no where to go!
Here’s another view….
Don’t mind the specks-either from the camera or one of the kids spilled something on the table-whatever.
By the way-these sewing tables are always at our local thrift store. I picked up another for $10 to paint as a side table in our basement almost room. I’d love a useable sewing machine-apparently those old models are workhorses and great for upholstery projects-one of these days…..
I’m posting at the CSI project.
Aw it turned out so cute! I love your commentary. 🙂 And cool wood floors by the way!
Hi! Visiting from the CSI project. I am loving this redo, she looks lovely in her new little black dress!
Thanks,
The wood floors need a serious makeover and I wish I had thought of the “little black dress”!
