Catch Up


I found this green sewing desk and didnt do much to it. I took out the sewing machine and rubbed on some brown shoe polish. Jennifer put it in one of her window displays. Super cute. The quilt under the vintage sewing machine is mine.
Another sewing table, this one a bit older. It didnt come with the sewing machine. The little door on the front flips down to reveal some storage. The top flips open to make the top twice as big. I envisioned finding a rectangle pan that fit into the space left by the sewing machine.


A slip covered ottoman. Not the best picture.

Yellow end table. This table is so heavy. Solid. The yellow was a nice change.
Up next is a dining table and wood twin bed.

Green Valentine

It is 23 degrees out and the lighting isnt the greatest in my house so please excuse the dark photos.
I picked up this vintage coffee table yesterday. I wasnt sure what I was going to do with it.
I gave it a few coats of my favorite cream paint. Under the glass top I painted it green. Previously it had a faux leather with gold embossed stencilling around the edge.
It got lightly sanded and rubbed with a walnut stain.

I also picked up a lot of vintage sheet music to make a wreath. I cut out a few hearts and placed them under the glass. It would look great with black and white photos and other ephemera.


Here it is after the first coat of paint.





The before.
