Since we moved the
desk out of the guest room, I have been wanting to set up my sewing machine in there so that I can actually do crafty projects without having to climb through
this to get to my sewing machine...
can you see it in there??? Hint: It's behind Brad Ausmus (former hottie Astros catcher) in a wetsuit.
I have been scouring Goodwill, Salvation Army and the local Catholic church's thrift shop for a small desk with a few drawers. Today, I even went to a
junk antique store but everything was overpriced and not really what I wanted. Since the thrift shop was on my way home and I was
without my grumpy husband alone I decided to stop one more time. Back in the corner was this beauty, somehow I missed it the other day when I stopped by
with my grumpy husband.
OK, so maybe it isn't a beauty...
but I had a vision. I liked that it had a place for my machine to be out but hidden at the same time. After a trip to Home Depot, new knobs, a can of spray primer, colonial red spray paint
(disaster!), and leftover front door paint...my vision came to life in this:
I love it!!! Time to get my CRAFT on!

It turned out beautifully!! All sorts of fabulous storage space...
ReplyDeleteI love it. You did good Jessica.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great. Congrats on having your own space to create.
ReplyDeleteI like that it folds down. Is it strong enough to use as a sewing table when folded down? My husband is grumpy too. I couldn't get him to a thrift store if I tried and would rather not because I would miss stuff too. He would be grumpin all over the place. I think it turned out great thanks for sharing.
