I've really been wanting a spot to work on my new book and quilts where everything was organized and right there. My husband is so good to me and said I could set up a sewing nook in our bedroom. What do you think?
So I've been looking for the "right table." I went to a garage sale last week and saw this table. It was the perfect size but they wanted $20 for it. I just didn't want it that badly.Then...
I drove back by that afternoon and apparently it didn't sell. There was a sign on it that said "FREE"!!!
I slammed on my brakes and put that sucker in the back of my Durango all by my lonesome. It's my roadside rescue.
I spray painted it red and ordered a piece of glass for it. Instead of an inspiration board I'm using it as an inspiration table. I put a bunch of inspirational pictures on the table and laid my glass on top. I love it.
I found this awesome, naturally distressed shelf at GW a couple of weeks ago. Remember I wanted to cover up the 1980's heart? I made a huge posie and glued it right over the heart. Done. It houses all my sewing supplies.
The stool I already had. I srpay painted her red too and added some funky polka dots. Oh yeah...
I'm so happy with it. It feels really good to sew in there. The only money I spent was on the piece of glass, but I'm totally okay with that. I'm pleased as punch.
Now, head over to Infarrantly Creative for her Roadside Rescue party. I can't win because I've donated a print and coloring book to the winner. :)
This was so much fun! You can't get better than free!
**I've also linked up to DIY over at A Soft Place to Land. There is some genius stuff going on over there!
love it all!!!!

Very nice set up! I really like the red polka dots on the stool. Fun, fun! I didn't see an after shot of your shelf with the country heart that you covered up with a poisy. Did I miss that?
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Love your table and that polka dot stool is da bomb! That table was meant to be yours.
ReplyDeleteLove it Chrissie. What shade of red did you use? It is so rich. Every red I find blows. I would love the name of yours. It turned out wonderful and kudos to the hubby for sharing the bedroom with your art. Thanks for linking up. And a big puffy heart for donating a prize also.

ReplyDeleteWhat luck that you drove back and found it for free! I guess they didn't feel like hauling it to the Goodwill. lol
ReplyDeleteCan I ask approx how much a piece of glass like that costs? I've been wanting to get some for a table and just want an *idea*, a ballpark of what to expect before I bother. ;)
The shade of red is gorgeous, and I love the polka dots - so fun & girly.
ReplyDeleteLovely transformation!
I love everything but I just might come and steal that cute stool. I love the polka dots.

ReplyDeleteHi there!
ReplyDeleteI would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.
