Suitcase Table


Bought an old suitecase at a thrift store, wood stool and screwed the suitecase on from inside. Polyurethaned it a couple times and now I have an end table for by the bed or other area.  And yes, it still opens to hide the remot from the hubby in it too. :)

Sew Machine Make Up Table




Bought an old sewing machine table, no sewing machine.  Took out the rest of the parts and lid.  Sanded, screwed top lid back on and polyurethaned it.  Put a coat of poly on, let dry 24 hours, light sand, poly again and repeat as many times as needed until you get the luster you're looking for.  I also found a mirror and stool to go with it and made a make up table for the guest room.  Total cost of table, mirror and chair was around $50.00.  I still have to reupholster the stool, but for now it'll have to do.
