This is my new cutting table:
The base is made from two cabinets left over from the kitchen remodel. Charlie connected them and mounted them on feet, which makes it the perfect height for his over-six-feet-tall wife. The countertop is Aqua Boomerang Formica.
We mounted a flat panel TV to the wall and the black box stood out way too much with all that aqua and white. I put together a quilted cover inspired by a 50s tv.
When Jaxon wants to watch Ratoo-a I can pull it off and swivel the tv towards him. When I want to watch my new favorite show, I swivel it back towards the sewing machine.
The green bins were on the clearance rack at Lowe's and hold my scraps...
...and I am trying to find the perfect felt flowers for my vase.
But almost there!
it looks great! i love glee, too, and am so glad the world series is over so we can get some new episodes!
