I understand how people feel about such things, but I’m in the business of repurposing furniture. Today’s project will show you how to transform a vintage singer sewing machine into a very versatile makeup vanity, jewelry organizer,…
A new writing desk hutch made from a vintage sewing cabinet and a repurposed furniture drawer! There was some trial and error trying to find “just” the right drawer, and a few hiccups along the way, but in the end, I love how this turned out and I think the Naval color is perfect with the cubbies.
I re-did a Singer sewing machine table over a year ago. Although I liked the look, the top didn’t seem worthy or strong enough for this heavy treadle base. As I was readying for Glendale 2016, I dragged this out of the back of the garage for a little makeover. I tested out an option…
Easy vintage sewing cabinet makeover I am so excited to show you my makeover on this vintage sewing cabinet. I didn’t even really transform it—but more like gave it a freshening up. Mostly, I cleaned up the vintage sewing cabinet and gave it new paint and gel stain along with a new top. This…

Hi Gail! It’s so good to be back as a guest blogger on My Repurposed Life! This sewing cabinet project I am especially excited about sharing because sewing cabinets are something that I’ve seen a lot of in the past and have passed up because I wasn’t seeing beyond their intended use. Now…
I’ve been busy trying to get the guest room ready. It’s not going to be anything fabulous because it’s not in the budget. And seriously . . . the only guests I ever have are Jamie and Andy! Do you remember the triplets? Did you see how I transformed three sewing cabinets? The one on…
I’m going to show you how to easily update old sewing cabinets. This is the one that was in Jamie’s room for several years —it held her t.v. I picked this one up at Tickled Pink while Jamie was in town last month. This one was a yard sale find, the only one…
I am starting to do too many “like” projects. I know a lot of bloggers name their pieces, so I thought I’d give it a try to see if it makes things easier for me to remember this repurposed sewing cabinet. (as a reference) I named this piece after my Aunt Helen, who gave this…
How to remove a vintage sewing machine from it’s cabinet. At first glance it seems like it would be an easy task. Removing this machine from it’s cabinet actually took me over an hour. I looked under it to try to figure it out. I knew that it wasn’t that difficult, I just forgot how…

I picked up this little lady from Craig’s List for $20.00. Yes, it is well over my $5.00 limit. This is the actual picture from Craig’s list. I got this when I very first started junkin’. Also, I knew I was going to make two projects, and I thought they were both going to be…
This is how I repurposed an antique sewing machine into a side table. I picked up this sewing machine from Craig’s List for $20.00. I had been wanting one for quite some time, because I had 2 projects in mind. After lots of nuts, bolts, screws were removed, I was left with the chassis. I…
