To PIN or not to PIN.....
Pinning is fast becoming a favourite pastime for many Internet users and especially for those of us constantly looking for new ideas to re-use or re-purpose articles....
a Few weeks ago whilst pinning on
PINTEREST, I stumbled upon this clever idea.....
and it immediately became one of my 'pins' and a very high 'must have' on my wish list!
Low and behold, if the eyes and mind are open....you will find!
I stumbled upon a very abused - read VERY old - sewing machine and table.
There was no salvage for the machine....or the table top.....but the legs.....oh those legs!!!!
You know, I must really give Claude credit - he doesn't bat an eye when I come up with 'ideas' or schemes......
In fact, I think he sees the potential of something even before I do....
He said it is only fitting that he used a piece of timber that is at least 130 years old - that is timber from
Halls Hall - to put on this vintage stand. Halls Hall is the old colonial building , circa 1892 , that we bought a few years ago with the intention of rebuilding / re-purpose......
The wood is oregon pine and the grain is sooo
beautiful!!!!
Look at the transformation !
The legs were sanded and primed and repainted - Claude kept the two colours - Black and Brown.
and here it is !!!!
This beautiful, re-purposed table was given to me on my birthday -
a w e s o m e !!!!
I L O V E this table !
from this -
to this......
laden with food.....
One of the best Birthdays.....
Thanx Babe !
