This weekend we finally finished our cute antique Singer Sewing Machine transformation. We found this base a couple of months ago while shopping at the awesome Spade & Broom shop in Trinity, NC. It was real beat up and falling apart when we found it amidst all the other treasures that they carry. We saw a diamond in the rough with this cute thing, so we quickly snatched it up.
Rick oiled all the parts and cleaned up that base real well. He then added some wood support in the back for sturdiness, after all it is a heavy base. At first we thought we'd create a table top that had a bottom shelf, sort of like an old-school desk, but after looking at the whole thing sort of complete, we felt that the top overpowered the base. It looked unbalanced so we decided to scratch that idea and just went with a top. We chalk painted it in "Delicate White" and then I sanded it and aged it with a walnut finishing wax.
It now lives in our tiny faux foyer and I just love looking at it every time I come to the front door. 😀
