When 2 Who are Very Different Marry- Furniture that Is!

Some interesting dynamics can happen when 2 very different people marry.

Well it can be very dynamic when 2 different pieces of furniture do the same!

What happens when  an ugly vintage sewing machine cabinet 

marries a manly, greasy, oily piece of furniture called a card desk?

(Card desks were used before computers for keeping inventory. See all those cubbies? They held 4 x 6 cards that had each piece of inventory that was in a store.  I know caz I sat at that desk for years when we had our auto/farm parts store)

Oops sorry for the bunny trail- but my, wasn't that such interesting information!

Back to what happens when these 2 pieces meet-

Fireworks!  

Yup it was love at first site!

Some elbow grease to get all that gunk off the card desk, then measuring, cutting, painting, cutting some more and look what happened-

A perfect  craft/sewing table with lots of cubbies for laces and things.

We cut the top of the sewing machine cabinet to fit the card desk so  I could use this for my sewing table too. Dual purpose is always a good thing!

I lined the cubbies with old pages 

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new Table!!!

And yes, that is an old machine which sews just beautifully!  It's just like the one I learned on when I was little and when I found it at a yard sale knew it had to become mine!

So what do you think?  

Do you think this marriage is a good one and will it last?

I am so excited about a creative space that I can work in!

I am not finished yet but as I mentioned in my last post  I am truly having so much joy in this journey! 

Thank you to all who have been so  encouraging to me with this project!

I would never have even ventured to make a space just for me if it wasn't for you  

and all those who have inspired me so much .

I will give you more details on how this was done later

(I sure wish someone would come and take pictures for me! 

 I cannot seem to get the depth of beauty 

captured in mine.)
