Reupholstered Redmond Sewing Box

1 Comment


I fell in love with this vintage sewing box box at a thrift shop. The beautiful vinyl cover has pictures of men and women that appear to be dancing. It has a faux embroidered appearance and four turned wooden legs.

The bad news was that after I took it home I found a hole in the top. I hated to do it but I carefully removed the vinyl and replaced it with a modern, geometric patterned fabric. I saved the trim and replaced it. You’ll probably find the vinyl repurposed in another one of my projects.

Paint Pen DIY Wall Art

My favorite grey wood stain was added and a wood border painted black and tacked on with nails and wood glue. The grain of the wood is highlighted beautifully when a light stain is applied to natural wood.

I also found an adorable Paris painting on the Pottery Barn website and created my own version. The two red umbrellas were added with paint and I painted the edges black to give it a finished look.

Wall art for pennies!
