Not My Kitchen! Monday

After a SUPER long and SUPER busy weekend, there is NO way that my kitchen looks like this:


Well, maybe it does!
Please tell me I'm not the only one who wakes up to a disaster area of a kitchen on Monday mornings!


Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

Antique Sewing Machine Drawer Makeover

A few months ago, I found a few really awesome things at a resale store that was going out of business. You may remember the $5 school desk and the fork & spoon set. Well, I also picked up two antique sewing machine drawers. Strange purchase I know, but I just loved the details and the quirkiness of them!

This is what I started with. Check out all those great details! But some of the details were loose, and some of them were completely broken off. So I got out the Gorilla Glue to fix them.
I applied a thin layer of the glue to the broken piece and to the spot on the drawer where it was supposed to be.
Apparently my layer wasn't quite thin enough, because this is what it looked like when I came back to check and see if it was dry. No big deal though. I just used a screwdriver to break away the extra foamy stuff and sanded it down a little bit. Though if you use this kind of Gorilla Glue, they aren't kidding when they say use a thin layer!
I painted the drawer with a coat of Krylon Bahama Sea spray paint. {Sorry about the upside down shot}
And then coated it with a layer of white spray paint.

After the paint dried, I sanded the drawer to make the details really pop. I love the little piece on the end that the Gorilla Glue helped me save.
And I love the {very subtle} bits of blue that you can see where I sanded off the white paint.

Now I just have to decide what to put inside the drawer. I think some fake grass would be really cute and add a nice pop of green in the room.

I found some Faux Grass and added it to the drawer. I'm loving it! What do you think?!?
