EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN!

Have you ever heard that phrase?

It may be an old phrase but as I have 

observed things through life

it's actually true. 

I've watched time after time some old 

trend in style or decor to reappear 

like an unwelcome ghost! 

Okay... sometimes it's good. 

 I love some of the old things!

I recently found these gorgeous 

sewing machine drawers in their 

encasements.

 They were at our local antique mall,

Heritage Square Antique Mall,

and were priced at $12.00 per set...

I almost fainted! 

They run from $30 and up 

per set for plain ones with no 

carving or curves.

The drawers were full of junk 

part of it being old sewing machine 

belts and newspaper liners.

 

 What a surprise it was to find a French 

cartoon in the bottom of one drawer!

Two liners put together revealed that 

Lawrence Welk was coming to town 

for a performance! Who knew??

Hubby and I recently discovered an 

incredible salvage yard in Columbus called 

Columbus Architectural Salvage 

Having owned an old home built in 1902, 

we were in awe of the beautiful pieces of 

homes & history that had been 

saved from destruction. 

 One of my favorite pieces was this 

stained glass "Church Window" 

that was priced at $2,250. 

Needless to say I did NOT bring 

it home with me!

The Bowling Alley was a mere 

$1250. But the Vintage Fan was 

a bargain for $85. (Yes it worked) 

 This wonderful Vintage Typewriter, 

in working condition with ribbon 

in place was around $250.

 A wire basket contained lots of 

Vintage Street Signs that were

$30 each. It was fun to see many

familiar street names that have 

been a part of my life. 

 I was totally shocked that this sign 

was priced at $289! 

See, women are valuable!!

 Ornate radiators go for around 

$525. Yikes!

  You can buy a Barn Door...

 a Horse Stall Door...

 or a Jail Cell Door just to mention 

a few!

Here's an idea - 

put Grandma's old clothes pins 

in an apothecary jar to display!  

 I was excited to find this "Singer"

Street Sign...

 to compliment this Vintage Singer 

Sewing Machine! Wouldn't that 

look clever to have the street sign 

mounted above the machine? 

Need a newel? 

They range from $75 - $1750!! 

 We had a wonderful time going on 

a trip through time back to the "old things".

 Thank you Columbus Architectural Salvage 

for allowing me to take photos in your shop!

Now back to my new/old drawers, 

hmmmm... 

I'm thinking about painting these white.
I love that worn shabby painted look. 
I also have other sewing machine drawers 
that I could paint to unify their look. 

  Then putting a wood piece on top 

of them to make them one piece.
(These ball feet are gorgeous!)

 

Then I could utilize the top to

set something else on it.

Here's a very unexpected use of 
a sewing machine drawer frame. 
a Wine Cabinet! Now that's thinking 
outside the box isn't it?

It's going to be used in my studio,

 I'm just not sure for what yet. 

You know how that goes! 

So stay tuned for a future post on the 

Vintage Sewing Machine Drawer ! 

Blessings to each & every one of you -
