Repurpose Sewing Machine Cabinet Ideas

Are you looking for sewing machine cabinet repurpose ideas? You're in the right place! These cabinets are often tossed out and unwanted.

Sewing Machine Cabinet Ideas | Side Tables

Redoing sewing machine cabinets into side tables may be the easiest DIY. I prefer to remove the piece under the lid that I call the sewing machine frame, the actual board that holds the machine. The uses and colors are endless!

 

Antique Side Table

An antique or family heirloom becomes usable again with a little fresh paint or update!

Mid Century Modern Blue Side Table

Using a two tone color palette really brings out the beauty of the real wood. Many times the tops are damaged, and paint is the only way to go.

Red Makeover

Isn't this a fun style? I love the shape of this sewing machine cabinet.

Green Side Table

For a really easy project, leave the piece as is, and just add paint!

Chippy White Sewing Table Makeover

For a more detailed project, paint, distress, and add a stencil.

Writing Desks

Depending on the leg room area of your sewing machine cabinet, you may want to add a chair to make a writing desk.

Red Writing Table

As I said, above, just adding a chair makes all the difference. Perhaps you have a single chair in storage you could paint to match?
