Well I finally finished the sewing table project that you all might remember started with how to cut the ceiling tin. Once I had that part figured out I totally deconstructed the sewing table. I had never seen one quite so hideous, but I loved the drawers enough to buy it for them alone. Taking it apart was fun and easy. Then came the harder part. I had never worked with the tin tile before so I got out the heavy duty gloves, nailed it to the top of the wood and went to town with my trusty hammer bending the tin around the sides of the board. After that was completed I sanded down the drawers and front of the cabinet. I used a piece of steel wool to apply the brown stain to age the drawers and the tin top. Then I attached the top with screws from the inside and now it could be used for just about any kind of storage. How about a darling desk accessory or it could even go back to the sewing room.

You could mosaic the top of the other one with some old china...that would look nice! (or decoupage, or....) You'll come up with something wonderful!!

georgiamoon writes: Well thank you all very much for your nice response to this project. It was really fun and it turned out just how I imagined. Fancy that. As for how I cut the tin...I did the easiest thing in the world...I had my friend cut it for me. He used this new cutting tool that he had just purchased for some construction jobs he is doing. Lucky me huh? From now on I just take the easy way out! Working with the tin was fun but I think I will come up with another top design for the other set.We shall see. Thanks again, Georgia Posted: 2:35 pm on November 14th

Junk_Sophisticate writes: Mystery solved! I wondered how your ceiling tin tile was being transformed from your previous post.

I really like your aged finish. It really screamed that special touch!

Thanks for sharing this beautiful project.

LuAnn writes: This is great. I liked it as the sewing table too. The uses for these are endless. Could be used in the bathroom to put all your girly beautifying things!!
