I just bought this "chabby chic" treadle....
I paid a bit more than I usually would for a machine, but in the end I think you'll agree it was worth it.
Here it is after i get home from picking it up.
BTW that bonnet is not that color naturally, it is PAINTED that color.... Same with the irons, matching paint.
oh, and the drawers...
even inside.

So here is the treadle after my DD and I both kicked in our OCD for about 7 hours straight.
We'll let this settle in for a bit before I show you the machine that MADE us do this....
(the machine needed NOTHING but a dusting... I would not dare to do more to it anyway)
EDIT: This was yesterday, today the irons are apart being stripped and the drawer boxes and drawers are being "un chic'd"

Wow, SteveH. You have uncovered a queen or a King.ha. Gorgeous wood! What kind of wood is this? Cherry or Walnut? You and your Daughter do a wonderful job cleaning them up. I can't imagine the work. Can't wait to see the machine. Barny
