so what

when u go 2 a junk shop or a yard sale there's always 1 of these. it's not the girl u geeks, it's the antique sewing machine base.

1. granny plant stand

ebay has them from $12.50 UP TO $300. ur granny might have made a plant stand out of 1.

2. this is a good sink base

the sink base idea seems popular.

3. this is not a good sink base. it would be better if u ditch the wood & the pine cone.

3. u can make a pretty nice table - white wash the base & use a piece of carerra type marble.

4. mega blog apartment therapy showed this restaurant table using the bases.

5. here's the antique white base again with the marble top - notice how a sea grass rug makes it sort of chic.

6. here's a hot granny mess, but the idea of using the base with a top as an island is cool.

7. a simple solution - a piece of glass on the base.

8. this is not pretty, but the idea is great 2 use 2 bases like saw horses with a better table top. u could paint it all out in a hot, bright color & use it as a big desk or dining table. a ghost chair would rock it.

9. this sink idea was in the new york times. a couple of girly dudes in minnesota made a pretty cool sink using the sewing machine base. the vessel sink makes it current & dated at the same time. the mirror rocks it.

10. this is sad. don't do this. 2 much fric & frac & bric & brac. & i would paint the base white & faux marble the top.

11. thom filicia big time hot shot designer (u know he's 1 because he imbeds his name on his photos) found another kind of sewing machine table base. it's pretty chic, don't u think? of course we'll never find 1 like that.

& if u really sew (i don't) an antique machine looks pretty cute in ur sewing room.
