Mini Makeover (Number Two)




Dan and I were driving home from his mom's house a while ago and I spotted this gem by someone's garbage. We pulled over, checked it out, and saw that it was in pretty rough shape (obviously- someone was throwing it away). But, the metal part was not in rough shape and the main wooden part seemed sturdy. So, we (and my we, I mean Dan) put the very heavy sewing machine table into the back of my car. We got it home and it sat awkwardly in our kitchen for a little too long until we had time to do something with it. 





Dan took the sewing machine out- it is SO heavy! And took off the hinge-y top layer. That's the technical term - haha :)  With Nella's guidance, he added some wood to the top so that there wouldn't be a huge hole in the middle. After he sanded it and rounded the edges, we painted it. 




After we painted it, I realized I wanted it to have new knobs. So I twisted/pulled the old ones off, and drilled some holes where they used to be. 




I gave the whole thing a second coat of paint and added new knobs. 

I love the way it turned out. 
It's the perfect edition to our entry way.
