Vintage Sewing Machine Cabinet Repurposed into a Mini Bar or Drink Cart

Vintage Sewing Machine Cabinet repurposed into a drink cart in midnight blue. I LOVE this piece and only wish I had room to keep it! I had so much fun putting this together!

This repurposed cabinet has been painted with CeCe Caldwell paint (I mixed 3 different colors together) and then stained with CeCe Caldwell's Dark Wax.

After painting was completed, I added a vintage white metal basin which can hold ice. This piece cannot be removed, so you will have to remove your ice when done by hand.

Handles are copper. Colors are shades of dark blue with hints of brown from the original color of the cabinet showing through. Gorgeous!!

Measurements with the piece closed are:
17.5 inches deep
22 inches wide
31 inches tall

Measurements with the piece in the open position:
17.5 inches deep
43 inches wide
31 inches tall

Vintage shot caddy (think Mad Men) and chalkboards available at The Gypy Chix Company on Etsy. Can’t wait for you to stop by. I love vintage – do you??

Item is available for purchase in my Etsy Shop for local delivery only (Columbus, OH).

Wine anyone??

I have this sewing machine- cabinet and all. It still works quite well, so I think I need YOURS for my drinks. Too bad I am so far away and short of cash.
Good job, by the way.

Thanks Patty. I picked this one up at the thrift shop and the sewing machine had already been taken out.

Chalkboard Painted Vase

I had a can of chalkboard paint lying around and I decided to make a little chalkboard paint vase. I picked up this little gem from the thrift store for $1.99. It’s pale green in color. I like the dark black chalkboard paint against the light color of the vase. Who is Minnie? Minnie is my cute little grand-pup (on the right side of the doggie pic below). Who is Karl? He is the big golden retriever who lives behind us. They bark at each other all the time – it’s so darn cute! I couldn’t get a good picture of Minnie and Karl together, so Lola had to do. Lola is the puppy my daughter fostered for 3 weeks – isn’t she super adorable? Seriously, super adorable! Lola was about 6 weeks old in this picture and Minnie is 3. Minnie thought she was getting a sister....but Lola adopted out quickly. Imagine that! Linking up with: Someday Crafts

Upcycled Domino Tile Pendant Necklace

My metals/jewelry making class that I am taking has inspired to create some really cute upcycled/recycled tile art necklaces . I was at the thrift shop last month and I picked up this tin full of Dora the Explorer domino type pieces. They were in great shape and made of a nice heavy filled plastic/resin with white on one side and Dora characters on the other side. I sat them aside until this past weekend when I thought – I need to do something with those cute little pieces. By nature, I’m a big recycler. I love taking something old and making it new. I’ve seen these necklaces all over Etsy so I thought I would give it a try. So, while hubby was out and about, I plopped down at the kitchen table and began creating. I had already downloaded a few art sheets specifically designed for domino size pieces from Etsy (these sheets are really inexpensive). You don’t have to use these, I just chose to. Leading up to this project, I had already ...

I Tried Insanity!

Picture Credit: http://www.nike.com/nikewomen/content/collection/modules/favourites/products/lookbook_homepage_nike_free_high.jpg OK, not the whole program, but I tried the first DVD :) I’ve always been into fitness. I’m a regular subscriber to the magazine called “Fitness” I have a YMCA membership and I have a small home gym in my basement. Just because you have access to all this stuff, doesn’t guarantee that you will work out though. I’m also a sucker for Infomercials. Last year around this time, I bought Zumba – and that craze lasted about a month! Luckily, I was able to re-sell it on EBay right before Christmas for $50, getting most of my original investment back. This brings me to my first fitness tip of the year – if you’re not sure you’ll like a new fitness craze, try to buy it used off EBay or Craig’s List. A few weeks ago, my husband purchased “Insanity” off Craig’s List for $45 and it was still in the shrink wrap (the guy told us that he recently found out he had...
