Sewing Room: Cutting Table

There are a few things that are not quite finished in the sewing room, but I thought if I did a reveal here and there eventually it will get there.

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!

I love your Tv cover (it's so fun) and the comment about the over six-foot tall wife.... :) I'm also tall (over 6 ft... or sometimes 5'13" or thereabouts) and love to have the counters at a little taller height. :) ~Jessica
