Oh my! Sewing Cabinet to Bar!
 
http://columbus.craigslist.org/fuo/4773070467.html

Hard to wrap my head around this re-purpose. Just how does someone come up with things? I must lack in imagination. (Or simply want a sewing cabinet to stay a sewing cabinet...)

Certainly an interesting twist! Not sure it would be my go to project. Then again I am pretty much a purist.

Looking at that shade of green or blue makes me want to have a drink.

They have turned that poor sewing cabinet into the ugliest thing I have ever seen. Poor cabinet. It is a billious color.

Yup, that green is awful. Reminds me of some of the projects on Flea Market Flip. Some of the projects the guests come up with are just crazy....

That is one atrocious paint job!

I've seen a few that were rather nice looking, but this one is not. . .

I've seen regular electric sewing cabinets made into beverage servers - they put a tub where the machine would fold down.

That is just a tragedy. Wonder where the drawers went. I have to agree about a cabinet should house a machine unless it happens to be in really, really bad shape.

My friends found a treadle frame and made a table for me. The wood was already gone and they did a great job using the frame. It now is a TV table in my sewing room.

I second that quote. Makes me sick.

Hard to say how bad shape the cabinet was in. So maybe had to be painted, unfortunately it is a horrible color. I would have wanted it to be a desk instead of the bar.

Cringe, cringe,

Rodney, I have to agree with you -- it almost makes me want a strong drink, and I don't drink! LOL! That is a horrible color!

I agree with all of the above.

That is one butt ugly cabinet. IMHO they have ruined it. If they had just refinished the wood & put a nice stain or just varathaned the piece, it would have made such a nice cabinet, now not so much.

I think they ruined it. You can't convert it back, either. There is no foot pedal.

tessagin 12-23-2014 01:03 PM
Some things just should not be recycled/upcycled, whatever they want to call it.

coopah 12-23-2014 02:05 PM
That's pretty ugly. We saw one used as a base for a potting bench. Sad.

It was questionable whether it would wind up in a landfill, so they painted it and removed all doubt. At least the color would match what would come out of me were I to have a drink, then look at that table.
