Thanks, Billy. I have a lot of cleaning to do on the Davis. Looking forward to seeing your repaints.

Oh, so, THAT is how to get more cabinets into the house....I never thought about putting one behind the sofa....:mrgreen:
Now when you put one in the bathroom, you are ready for a 12-step program, lol !

Can I ask how much you had to pay for the lovely machines? I'm seriously drooling here!

LOL I have seen bathrooms large enough that more than a couple of treadles could fit, but my bathrooms aren't large enough for one.

Nancy, I too like the look of my treadle in the living room. Surprisingly, I like the set up, since I can sew and watch tv shows with my husband.
Otherwise, I was in the back room off the kitchen by myself sewing, unless DH came by to chat. The tv in my back room is only set up for roku, no cable; so, husband would head off to living room to watch his shows. I look at the treadle in the living room as a piece of mechanical art that gets used. :)

The WW9 was tagged at $150 and the Davis at $135. DH got them both for $200.

That is such a steal! Your treadle for the Wheeler and Wilson is beautiful, that coffin gorgeous! And the attachment box is so CUTE!

You might put them on your local Craigslist. Or put pics on here. You don't want to ship them.
