I usually like the old Singer tables from the 50s, modern design and teak veneer? I didin't go for a very styled home to begin with, nor is everything matching. I allow a bit of age difference in my furniture. Cabinets often need cleaning, lots of good furniture polish or have the lacquer redone to look nice again.

I have 5 machines so far. I keep the portable models at the bottom of my book shelves. The largest is a 201 in a bent wood case and it works fine. A neat way to store and display a macine is to use two solid cast iron brackets on the wall (there are nice ones as well as more utility looking versions); fit a nice wooden board to it with screws and call it a shelf. It's sturdy and solid enough for heavy cast iron models, and it's easy to adjust for any length or depth. Use the right screws and bolts for this, it needs to hold up well :- )
