Upcycled End Table

Hey Friends!  Today I am sharing a quick project that I created using an old sewing treadle.

Singer Sewing Machine Treadle Table

My Aunt on my Dads side of the family gave me this old Singer treadle base that belonged to my grandparents.  I just recently found out that it was my great grandmothers which is pretty neat.  I have been looking for  a table to go between my two chairs that sit in front of my fireplace and have had the hardest time finding the perfect size and in the style I want.  When my aunt sent me the picture of this, I knew I needed to have it.

Once I figured out the size I wanted the top to be, I gathered some 1×4’s from my free wood stockpile.  Using my KregJig I attached 6 boards together with pocket hole screws.  You can see this wood is not perfect, but it was exactly what I wanted.

Once it was put together, I pulled out a nice rich Rustolem Varethane stain in Kona and wiped the entire top using an old t-shirt.

I love how these boards show so much character.   I also drilled some holes randomly throughout to give it that old used wood look.

Once it was stained, I attached it to the treadle base using some 1″ screws and I was done!

I moved it into the living room when it was dried just so I could get a feel for how it was going to look and I LOVE how this space is coming together.  After the flood, we have taken our time moving furniture back in, and still have a little bit of renovating to do.  Check back soon for final reveal pictures of this renovated space.  You can also see how I made my pallet tray by clicking here.

The table is so perfect for this space and means so much more to me knowing where it came from.
