Vintage Sewing Cabinet Makeover

I had the privilege of inheriting the sewing machine cabinet that belonged to my husband's grandmother. It came to me in very poor condition: veneer scratched and chipped and the pulls were very tarnished. Knowing it would make a great functional piece of furniture in my sewing/craft room, I went to work on refurbishing it.

The first thing it needed was a soap and water scrubbing followed by a good sanding and 3 coats of white paint. The next on the list was sprucing up the pulls. I scrubbed them thoroughly and added 2 coats of black spray paint. Now I have plenty of room to sew with it's two fold out leaves.

It looks lovely with my newly covered sewing machine. I'll explain in a future post how to make the DIY sewing machine cover.
