Old typewriter cart upcycled....
I am in "dresser" mode these days...lots of dressers and chest of drawers being "refinished" but after 5 years, I still can't remember to take good "before and after" pictures! So while I have refinished 4-5 dressers in the last few weeks, I have no good pictures to show for it! CURSES!
My garage is packed with dressers and chests I am working on now so MAYBE I will remember to take pictures when they are done so I can share!
One little project I DID remember to take pictures of is this old metal typewriter table....
I shared here the first little table I refinished. I have found they are perfect for my portable sewing machine. I commented on the first makeover that I wish I had one with a little drawer...low and behold I found one!
It wasn't in bad shape...just a really bad paint job. So I primed it with metal primer, sanded smooth, wiped it with tack cloth and painted it with a few coats of black lacquer....
This little table makes it super simple to store away my sewing machine until I need it...
...then I can just roll it out and set it up anywhere in the house! Just roll it out and put it anywhere...no more scratching my dining room table.
If you find one of these little metal tables that has a bit of a "rust issue" I shared here how to deal with that!
I think these old metal tables can be used for many things...a portable sewing table, coffee bar, maybe even a little portable "prep" table for the laundry room, garage or kitchen. Roll it out then tuck it away when you no longer need it!
Simple!
