Furniture Makeovers

Sewing Machine Cabinet Painted Vintage White

The picture below is the first image I saw of this sad little sewing machine cabinet that Bikeman found on the side of the street about 4 years ago.  No one wanted it… I guess I can understand.  It was pretty rough and the sewing machine had been removed.  He texted this photo to me while I was at the Roses and Rust Vintage Home Market and asked if I wanted it.  I still needed a lot of practice painting furniture so of course I said “Yes!”

Painted Sewing Machine Cabinet Makeover

I ended up putting two very thin coats of CeCe Caldwell’s Vintage White on it.  The wood was still showing through a little more than I wanted after the first coat.  I wet distressed it just a bit around the edges and waxed it.

SIDE NOTE:  I no longer use CeCe Caldwell’s Paint.  Mainly just because out shop doesn’t sell it.  Here’s a similar color that I like… and the wax that goes with it.

  • Country Chic All-in-One Decor Paint, in Vanilla Frosting
  • Country Chic Natural Wax
  • Wax Brush

I had a “Momma Loves to Sew” theme for my Mother’s Day set up at the Roadside Relics Flea Market in May as you can see below.

The box below is a completely different project but still painted with CeCe’s Vintage White.  The sewing machine cabinet didn’t sell at Roadside Relics so I hauled it out to the Treasure Island Flea and stacked this box on top of it.  A girl came by and thought it was one piece.  She ended up buying both of them.  I really wish I had taken a picture of them stacked.  It did look much more substantial.
