The beginning of 2012 I shared my Shabby Chic Room Makeover. Man oh man has that room been a blessing! I’ve had some fun in that craft room this past year creating and blooming in so many different ways!
While a lot of things have been added to the room since then (including a little clutter, giggle), there was one thing I needed and that was a sewing desk. I use my sewing machine more for shop orders than anything, but it got to be a bit tiresome having to pull it out and put it away each time. It had actually found a temporary home on the floor. I was super excited when someone gave me a desk they didn’t want anymore. I knew it would be the long awaited addition to my craft room. I would finally have a sewing desk. YAY! Here it is…
The desk was white when I got it but needed a little TLC, plus it needed some new hardware. I sanded this baby down and gave it a brand new coat of white Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. I decided to distress the desk a bit too, which you can see a little better in the pictures below.
This desk has been a blessing and was the perfect addition to my craft room!
I can’t write about my new sewing desk without mentioning that my sewing machine is super sentimental to me. It was my grandmothers. She passed away a few years ago and would be soooo proud to know that I’m sewing these days. I wished I had taken an interest in learning how to sew when I was younger, as I’m sure she could have taught me so much. I sure do miss you, grandma! {hugs}
Thanks so much for stopping by, friends!
I’m off to do some sewing… care to join me?
I’ll be partying {here and here}

Love your desk! I know how your feel about Grandmas! I miss mine, too! She loved to sew. She made all my Barbie’s clothes when I was younger. 🙂

Great little desk! I too ‘found’ a white desk and use it for my ‘sewing table’. Unfortunately its in the corner of my bedroom but it’s great to have a space for it vs. pulling it out everytime you need it!

So cute! I just gained a room in our house, maybe I will make it into a sewing/craft room and move everything up from the basement.

Love love love your creative space- the details are so soft & feminine. Exactly what I would do if I could dedicate a room again. Love it & YAY for the sewing table. It was so easy to sit down & get creative when I had a space where I could leave my machine out. Miss that.

It looks perfect on the desk, like they were made for each other. Great job on refinishing the desk!
I too have an old machine (my Mother-in-law’s) that she handed down to me. It came in it’s own stand, so I don’t have to worry about where to put it. And it has been used as a TV stand for a number of years, I didn’t sew, or have time. I pulled it out last fall, and am having fun learning how to use it again.

So sweet, Kelly! My boyfriend in High School (wayyy back in the day 😉 ) well his Grandma Pearl taught me to sew and she gave me an antique sewing machine (I want to say it was a 1940’s Singer but it might have been older. I am so sad I got rid of that because now I really enjoy sewing for craft projects and, while I still would have my newer machine, it would have been such an awesome display and memory in a craft room!
Hugs,
Claire
