sewing cabinet

So remember this cabinet that we got last week?

Of course you do.  

It was only last week.

Well, it was in really bad shape and I was deciding between

painting it or refinishing it.

See how bad it was?

I ended up doing neither the painting or the refinishing. 

I kind of just cleaned it up using

Murphy's Oil Soap

Danish Oil

and

Howard Feed N' Wax.

This is what it looked like after the Murphy's Oil Soap

and the Danish Oil rubdown.

After that was done I just put some of the wax on it and called it a day.

Why, what's that big red box there in the photograph?

It's my new Viking sewing machine.  

Recently I showed Leif some examples of the Ryan Gosling meme

that has been making the rounds.  

Like this one.

As he was carrying my new machine out from the store he said the following,

I totally do.  I totally do.

After all the spiffing and shining was done I 

relocated all my sewing materials to their new home.

Here she is in all her faded, but not as faded glory.

Do not use all these products indoors.

It was crazy stinky in our house for hours and hours.
