Purple Passion Hippy Machine
A week or so ago there was a thread about painting cabinets. Well I just had to share the one I obtained last week. When I first saw it I actually laughed at it. OMG,sure is butt ugly! Not even can be considered shabby chic! I think using the sewing machine was not considered either as the paint job is sloppy in and out and even on the sewing machine.
The sewing machine is a Singer 66K allotted 21 June 1924. She obviously had a lot of use as the decals are very worn. Note the black face plate. This one may end up as a repaint and a treadle head or even a hand crank. Heck, what is one more project????

She's a much to serious looking old girl to be trapped in that little creative disaster! I'd be inclined to rescue the cabinet too.....a severe strip and wax is in order. Must admit, I do get a little nuts with cans of spray paint and objects for the garden....but even my old rusty wheelbarrow (now a plant filled joy in stunning magenta) got a better finish than this poor thing.

That cabinet is a travesty!!! OOOOGLY! I'm quite sure that the poor machine was afraid to live in that awful cabinet.
I like purple....however that's over the top!
