It’s week 3 of the $100 Room Challenge and I tackle my DIY sewing table this week.

My Diy Sewing Table

I started with this old manicure table.

Here is my DIY Sewing table which was made from an old table and stained with Java Gel Stain and stencilled. This is it before stain

It’s not so pretty close up, take a look at the top

I wasn’t sure what finish I was going to use on this, and then  I remembered that I had half a can of General Finishes Java Gel Stain and satin topcoat left-over from my  DIY dresser to buffet project. I LOVE this stuff. Yay- problem solved.  And since I already had this in my paint cabinet-  no additional costs were incurred.And a little shout-out to my fellow $100 Room Challenge Blogger Monica who first introduced me to this finish way back when! Thanks Monica!

I am going to post a detailed tutorial separately for this piece. But here are the steps:

Stencilling

I opted to add some stencilling to my DIY Sewing table as well. I really like how this came out. I used the same metallic paint that I used to do my billy bookcases.Here is my DIY Sewing table which was made from an old table and stained with Java Gel Stain and stencilled.

And for the Grand Finale…

I painted out the inside walls of the drawer with the same silver paint that I used to do the stencilling. This paint has really great coverage, it only took one coat on bare wood! And then I replaced the yucky kelly green felt, with a nice bold pop of pink, to match the room décor. The cost of this piece of fabric was $1.50 – Win!

I also hung up my IKEA zebra pics, which I stole from the den downstairs. Which is another room that is on my radar for an update. Hmmmm, I sense a future post 🙂 I am still contemplating changing out the photos for something else, but I haven’t quite gotten there yet. I have a concept floating around my brain that I have almost worked out. I will post here if and when I do that.

    This would be great if I could see the pictures of the pieces you did.

    Also, I subscribed to your site and confirmed it, but I keep getting ” we can’t process your request at the moment”.
