Yesterday when Mom and I went to the Pregnancy Center, we stumbled across a goodie that was laying in a trash pile in front of our storage units.
Here it is! :) Yes, it looks like a total piece of junk! There were chips, scratches, spiders, and stains all over this thing, but I had something in mind for this desk. :) Mom and I hauled it into the van, spiders and all, and took it home. Some very strong cleaner and many paper towels later...
A new sewing table! I am so excited! Before, I had my sewing supplies on my hope chest, and my knees kept knocking up against it when I tried to sew. I had always wanted a little sewing area! Sure the drawers get stuck sometimes but that's okay. :) The insides of the drawers were stained really badly so I scrubbed them and cut out some drawer liners from scrap fabric.
I'm ready for some sewing! I already have some projects lined up that I'm working on and need to finish soon. :) Maybe I'll post them when I finish! ~Alli

How pretty!! I miss my old sewing desk... sigh :)
That was a bargain! I know how you must have felt with your knees against the hope chest--I do have a table in our schoolroom to sew on, but when I was doing a secret project for Christmas, I had to sew on my hope chest in my room! Not a very comfortable postion. :)
You have your desk and drawers set up so cutely!
Way to go Alli, Good eye...
many good years of use still left in her..
I love a good trash to treasure..Remember who walked you around the house..
