I've never really had the room to set up a place to do my crafts. Finally we have a spare bedroom again and my crafting as taken over... literally. I look like a freaking hoarder. Well scratch that, I am a hoarder when it comes to craft things. Or things I think I can use for something later. Or clothes. Or shoes...but wait a minute, this is not about my alleged hoarding issues. This is about my craft room. I finally have a nice place to set up my sewing machine and leave it out so I can sew whenever I want. But what to put it on?? The folding table was no good since it bounces when you sew fast ( & I'm like a speed sew-er).
So.. what about this table?
It is ugly, GOLD, and has paint marks on top (who knew spray paint would soak through fabric??) But the table is sturdy and was only $5 at the thrift store. We originally bought this to use at our wedding, but that didn't happen ( the wedding happened, we just didn't use the table...) so it was just sitting on the back porch with some dead plants on it (hey - I said I was a good craft-er, not gardener).
So after a little paint and a little love, this is how it turned out:
Hard to tell, but its a light blue color and lightly distressed. Here it is in action:
The desk chair and the lamp are also thrift store finds, so in total my new sewing area cost around $15.
Score! :)
