As much as I love my new-old sewing trunk, the sewing space is a little cramped. For everyday sewing and mending it is fine but for those time I need a larger surface it sucked. So we picked up this old sewing machine cabinet on Craigeslist and removed the sewing machine and turned it into a sewing table. Here is a picture of the before.
The top folds over for even more work surface and since this picture was taken I bought one of those little pads so your cell phone wont slip off the dash of your car and placed it on the treadle for my foot peddle...worked great :)
Then my printer was a big problem. It is a professional version color laser so it was large and just doesn't fit the theme of the room. So we bought an old Victrola cabinet for it. I forgot to take a before picture but here is the after picture.

A woman after my own heart (vis a vis organization)!!
I can't wait to see more ~
Great finds, looks like you will be busy getting organized, that's a good thing.
My goodness, you do find some wonderful things. And when you see the 'after' photo it's just amazing! xx
Totally jealous here of the locker baskets! I too am an orgnaization freak and I am drooling over them!
Lovely pieces all, and I'm with Laura ... SO jealous of those baskets!
They actually remind me of the bins we used as kids to hold our shoes and change for snow cones while swimming at the Twin Falls City Pool.
That Victrola cabinet is amazing! Your studio is gorgeous. :)
Gorgeous finds!!!
Have a lovely day!

Your creative mind has been working overtime. You can envision something workable from someone's discard. I did wonder about the sewing trunk area and now you have a solution. You won't believe this but I have been purging and tossing and organizing for over a week. It never ends but I do have a goal in sight. More of your organizational skills would work for me.
So nice to see what you've been up to!
Your blog reminds me of many things.Keep up your glorious work
