I was looking through some art, studio magazine, trying to get some ideas and inspiration for my sewing room, when I saw a picture of old sewing machine drawers used for storage. Since I really enjoy refurbishing old things, I bought this one at the 127 yard sale for $2.00. I thought it was cheap enough, so with a little cleaning, painting, sanding and pasting…...
she is ready to go to work.
You can use them for so many different things and they are also a great conversation piece!
I already had the paint, the knobs were given to me several years ago, the
total cost……. $2.00.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog!
I hope the weather is nicer where you are. The temperature is smokin here!
Go on over to the following and see all the lovelies!

I loved this post! I have a couple of old sewing machine drawers too.. One of them holds vintage children's playing cards. The other holds family snapshots. I also collect vintage postcards... many with forget-me-nots on them. So I LOVED yours!
