My photos are of furniture my 90-year-old father made.
Aren't they gorgeous?
The photos were taken in his well-used workshop. :)
********************
The bench is made from an antique bed's headboard and footboard.
The storage drawers are made from side drawers on a Singer Treadle Sewing Machine.

ReplyDeleteWow, those are fabulous! Did he make them recently?
ReplyDeleteOh, I love when furniture is made from other pieces, combining them in such a creative way.
ReplyDeleteI once had a favorite table that was placed on the bottom part of an old Singer sewing machine. I wonder what happened to it? Sigh

ReplyDeleteOH ELIZABETH, is your dad interested in adopting, another lovely daughter. Love his projects. I have a set of 4 drawers, and an antique headboard, it's 3/4 so it's hard to fit to a mattress these days. What a great project.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! I love the creativity. I think my mom has one of those sewing machine tables. Those drawers look very familiar to me.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! He is very creative. I love unique furniture pieces.
