Furniture Feature: Mix and Mingle


I love to mix odd pieces together to create unique furniture. I found this old trunk/box awhile ago and have been searching for a nice set of legs to go with it. I finally found some. And, might I say, these legs are Rockette worthy.


It is the base to an old sewing table. I see a lot of them but they are usually a little pricey. This set was only $5 because the foot pedal was broken.



I just took that part off and kept the rest intact. I debated whether I wanted to refinish it and finally decided to repaint them with an Oil Bronze finish. I am glad I did. It coordinates well with some of my black furniture pieces in the living room.

My original plan was to use it as a sofa table, but it was too tall. So I put it in my front bay window instead, which is kind of dead space in my house. A little added bonus about this piece is that it can either be displayed open our closed.

Right now I am displaying it open. It has some fun vintage fabric and funky green paint on the inside. I may change that down the road, but for right now I am going with it.

I am linking this post to Mustard Seed Creations Link Up party. Check out some of the other great furniture creations. Awesome.
Happy Furniture Feature Friday,
