Repurposed Antique Sewing Machine Stand Wall Bins

I resisted the urge to go to the auction last weekend, so I could focus on working with all the stuff I already have.  Junk can breed quickly if you aren’t careful, and my stash of junk has been reproducing all over my house.  I’ve had a pair of cast iron legs that were removed from an antique sewing machine table for several months.  They’ve been leaning against the wall in my entryway, and have fallen over several times, so it was time to turn them into something, before they landed on someone’s toes.

As is often the case, I bring home the junk and come up with ideas of what to do with it, and my husband does the actual work.  I brainstormed ideas for awhile, and finally decided to turn them into wall bins.  There were already holes in the legs, where they had previously been attached to the rest of the table, so it was just logical to attach something to the holes.  I picked out three old bread pans and my husband attached them to the legs.  There was only one hole behind two of the pans, which posed the problem of the pans swiveling back and forth, so he found some metal strips in our garage, and attached them from the back of the legs, into the pans to brace them. That made them super stable.

The legs have such a beautiful shape and the little metal wheels at the bottom are just icing on the cake.

The top two holes are perfect for mounting it on a wall, but since I didn’t want to makes holes in my wall to take a photo, I just attached wire to hang it.  I can see this being used in many ways throughout the house.

Of course, it would look adorable in a craft/sewing room, holding spools of thread or craft supplies, but I think it would also be wonderful holding towels in a bathroom, or even used as a spice rack in the kitchen.

  1. As usual you are SUPER creative and I love reading and looking at your creations!

  2. I saw this on FB and I honestly couldn’t guess what it was. What a creative idea! I’ve made tables and even a glass top jewelry display with old sewing machine legs but never a wall hanging shelf! Really great!

  4. very clever Angie … I have a pair or sewing machine legs and had hoped to make a table … but this sure is a useful idea.
