Favourite Furniture Fridays: Courtney Lane

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Hi guys! I'm Courtney. I'm an interior design student in Seattle, and I blog about my love for design over at my blog, <a href="http://courtneylanemichaels.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Courtney Lane</a>. I was so happy when Tiffany asked me to come over and share my favorite piece of furniture with you guys!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">The piece of furniture I'm showing you today is something I recently bought at a thrift store and am making plans to majorly update this summer!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">I'll be honest, I'm not a huge DIYer. I know, I know. A blogger that isn't a DIY guru, what? I <i>do</i> like to do crafts, but usually when I see a DIY project that has more than 3 steps, I quickly decide to do something else. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">But every <i>once </i>in a while, especially in the summer when I'm free as a bird, I get in the mood for a bigger project.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF_tyDd6mHbuuENLZpmL23mYciV6c8k8RNyvpmCfUC8LeGpna-SCdfx-q5XhLSa31TuENF8MZFJNKQ28K4zPBPU_e6eFc156zMEZX_lpNoeFhjZa1jDMMkF_YGaXE74Zzff0OXmH9xCkA/s1600/thrifted+singer+blue+sewing+table+close+up.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF_tyDd6mHbuuENLZpmL23mYciV6c8k8RNyvpmCfUC8LeGpna-SCdfx-q5XhLSa31TuENF8MZFJNKQ28K4zPBPU_e6eFc156zMEZX_lpNoeFhjZa1jDMMkF_YGaXE74Zzff0OXmH9xCkA/s400/thrifted+singer+blue+sewing+table+close+up.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrCnkxLUMqsLaZJ-jWzk31KYUo9tptrMgiKt55VsOdIhLAO0a_5QkVArc9cWdHpeA-_g80_FyfdHI78IZTiyosx2Ew3e8t_KwtFmb4WQ8DXQhdaH4Mes_HX1qPYbs4m-cdiI3L9Y9gpYg/s1600/thrifted+singer+blue+sewing+table.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrCnkxLUMqsLaZJ-jWzk31KYUo9tptrMgiKt55VsOdIhLAO0a_5QkVArc9cWdHpeA-_g80_FyfdHI78IZTiyosx2Ew3e8t_KwtFmb4WQ8DXQhdaH4Mes_HX1qPYbs4m-cdiI3L9Y9gpYg/s400/thrifted+singer+blue+sewing+table.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">When I saw this sewing table at the thrift store, it was love at first sight. I had recently been given my own nice sewing machine for Christmas, so I definitely didn't need another sewing machine. But it was definitely a plus that this one was in good working condition too. But I saw this desk and had visions of keeping my sewing supplies in the drawers and just having an extra work space. I loved how the machine could fold down into the desk too if I needed more room! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Then I came back to reality and realized I should check the price tag. I guessed it would be closer to $100 dollars and then it would be out of the question. But...score! It was only 35 dollars. So my mom and I hauled this cute thing out of the store and brought it home.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">My plans for this sewing table are still coming together, but so far I know that I want to paint it either an antique white, a light gray, oooor a fun color. {I really narrowed it down there, didn't I? Ha}. I also want to switch out the handles for some cute Anthropologie ones like one of these styles:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQtBG0JBGY-85zjyz2Z6Y0Np8cYu_ywfuQyfLKoUkhd4I0oL0RYk9xGNB-K-bEv86WNATUZ7ARQF1Fyia6ypvcIyiarhilPdgTxaFyt1K6oDrgOxUjFY6cu1dnfOEAeI9SZRMLMrO_DNQ/s1600/anthropologie+handle.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQtBG0JBGY-85zjyz2Z6Y0Np8cYu_ywfuQyfLKoUkhd4I0oL0RYk9xGNB-K-bEv86WNATUZ7ARQF1Fyia6ypvcIyiarhilPdgTxaFyt1K6oDrgOxUjFY6cu1dnfOEAeI9SZRMLMrO_DNQ/s200/anthropologie+handle.png" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSb0wYULQmHz2xp3QCPRCM1biCkMOTcGRckUFkbn6eceLcHP9k5QkM61JUZq0SRe06qf05RCMAXzWgJME1tS2JaxA4IS33YAswEg6boewOZbJ3RNigQK9I6Q_J9BlFYwOTiPaDXu8PksE/s1600/anthropologie+glass+handle.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSb0wYULQmHz2xp3QCPRCM1biCkMOTcGRckUFkbn6eceLcHP9k5QkM61JUZq0SRe06qf05RCMAXzWgJME1tS2JaxA4IS33YAswEg6boewOZbJ3RNigQK9I6Q_J9BlFYwOTiPaDXu8PksE/s200/anthropologie+glass+handle.png" width="200" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/home-hardware/22665525.jsp" target="_blank">Library Pull</a> or <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/973166.jsp?color=cle" target="_blank">Bubbled Glass Handle</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">I am so excited to get started on this project when I'm out of school in June.
