sewing cabinet to side table

I ran across this old sewing cabinet at a Goodwill store.  It's those old cabinets that had your mothers sewing machine bolted down and when done sewing, you could then store it within the cabinet.  The top was a little rough and it had a little wiggle to it but I thought it had potential for just $6.


I removed the lid and bars that would bolt to the machine.  I also unscrewed the drawers from the cabinet.  A little sanding and tightening of the screws and I was ready to go.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do for the top but as I was walking through the local lumber yard I found a slab of board that would work PERFECT for a table top.  It was the right width and length, now that luck just doesn't happen for me.


I primed the bare wood and attached it to the cabinet.  With a little Robin Egg Blue color paint and white little knobs, it turned out pretty cute!
