I have blogged about this table before....

I didn't BUY this vintage, Singer sewing machine base...it belonged to my mother.
I am not sure if she had it when I was a little girl
or if she bought it 'somewhere along the way'.
*
I am totally in love with MACKENZIE-CHILDSand I really wanted a black and white table, using this base...
*
and along came MR. SWEET with a supply ofBLACK and WHITE tile and .....
made my dream come true...
*sigh
It didn't take the grands long to learn that it would make aTERRIFIC checker board....
playing with poker chips....:O)

LOTS of fun times have been had at this little black and white table....

BJ:
I have actually found some time this morning and thought I would visit a few of my favorite blogs.
I have been so busy but I really miss keeping up with everyone's posts.
I think of it as having a neighborhood of good friends.
Black and White are my new favorite colors and this project is really inspired. I love how nice your tile work looks and how cute that it became a real game table.
Have a Wonderful Week!

BJ! I just love your table, it is so cute and adorable AND totally unique. Great idea to use the old Singer base. I have my grandma's old Singer & treasure it.
What a fun table. An opportunity to take something your mom had, put that husband to work, and end up with something fab. Happy thrifty Monday.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! The table you posted about here is amazing! It's awesome to have something that belonged to your mother in your home, especially when you can change it to add your own bit of flair.
I love this BJ. We had an old sewing machine base and had a top made for it, for the farm kitchen. The kitchen was U shaped and teeny tiny. The table worked perfectly. When we moved, we gave the table to a friend.
That is so freakin cute! I love it! I love that the Grandkids are using it to play checkers even more!
Manuela
BJ that is the cutest table ever!
Happy Summer! :)
Thank you for visiting my humble Bloggie, BJ! I'm sorry you can't get the Follow This Blog thingy to work. I'll see if I can follow yours and let you know what I find out. It might just be down!
Love the table by the way...right up my alley! :)
Your words about your momma's sewing machine made me cry. :) A good cry, tho!
Blessings to you and thanks for visiting! I entered your name in the drawing for the sachet. I hope you'll be able to follow as that will give you another entry! Whooo Hooo!
xoRebecca
I love your table and its sentimental value, past and future!
I just tried to follow your Blog and the system must be down or something... :( I'll try again later!
Where in W. Texas do you live? I lived in Kermit when my daddy pastored a church there in the late 70's. Also, my sister's Father-in-law pastored a church in Odessa in the early 80's!

Hmmm...I thought I left a comment last night but I sure don't see it. :(
I think it is absolutely wonderful that you have taken something special like your mother's sewing machine base and turned it into something that is making memories for your grandkids. I just know that years from now they are going to have great memories of sitting at that table and playing checkers at Memaw's house. :)
Great post! The table is perfect. Checkers are so great for the little ones - easy enough, yet logic skill building. Sally
What a great idea for your singer base! I love it! I have a base as well that I'm using as a sofa table, but it may just have to reincarnate some time as a porch table with tiles like yours. I just love it.
Hello BJ!
The table is wonderful, I love it!:o) Wishing you a beautiful week!
Smiles...
Beverly
I love it. you are so talented!
How fabulous that table turned out! And what fun to be able to play checkers on it! laurie
I remember when your hubby made this table for you! I thought it was incredible then and still do. It turned out fabulous!
Kady
I love that old sewing machine bottom! My grandmother had one of those--I wonder if it's still hidden in an attic somewhere....hmmm....
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I'm glad I got a chance to come visit YOU too! :)
What an absolute great table. I love it. Debbie
What a cute little table you have fashioned from the treadle base! The b/w tile is so classic- you had a fun idea and ran w/it....
