I was at an antique shop this afternoon when I spotted a treadle cabinet front drawer being used as a shelf. The owner of the shop had cut off the long pieces to the front drawer (long sliders) and mounted the drawer so that the tray part (backside) was against the wall. I thought that would be a cute way to decorate a wall in a sewing room. The drawer, now shelf, could hold light weight vintage objects and a mini quilt could be hung underneath. I have a front tray from a very badly ruined cabinet to a treadle that I got when I picked up my free Singer 9W1. The front tray and drawers were the only items worth saving after the treadle. I was planning on selling the front drawer, but after seeing this I may just hold onto it for this project. Has anyone else seen this done?
