Sewing Table Numero Uno

A while back I hit the “Sewing Table Jackpot”
& by jackpot I mean I got three sewing tables
for a very good deal & by good deal I mean practically free.
I had never worked on a sewing table a day in my life,
so I wasn’t sure what I was getting into…
but so far I have completed two & I love them.
Here is table one of three…

Don’t you just love her quirky shape & that color is
to die for.

I instagramed this picture when I hit the
sewing table jackpot a while back.
She is the one on the right.

 & now this old sewing table has a whole new life…

The color I used for this piece is Twilight Meadow from
Valspars new spring line.
I bought a few of their color pre packaged samples from Lowe’s
for $2.97 & the color sample was more than enough
to paint this piece & have lots of leftover paint.
I posted this picture to Instagram when I bought my
colors… Aren’t they stunning?

 Aren’t these colors fun?
Twilight Meadows was one that stuck out to me
right away…

New favorite paint color for sure.
It really is the perfect turquoise.

I did love the beautiful wood on the table, so I decided
to sand the top of the table & stain it with a dark walnut stain.

& this lovely vintage table just gets better & better…

The sewing machine inside the table is beautiful & in perfect condition.
I haven’t tried using it yet, but the seller said it works.
Such a lovely vintage piece!

To antique this piece, I simply used 80 grit sandpaper &
sanded in the areas where I thought there would be
normal wear & tear.

I wanted this piece to be very shabby chic, so I sanded
a lot to add more drama.

What do you think of my first sewing table makeover?
Is this your new favorite color too?
