Sometimes, I manage to tear my eyeballs away from the computer and all the wonderful things other people are doing for long enough to actually accomplish something myself :-)
This table sits in our living room and is my sewing table. No drinks are allowed on this table, the kids (and the hubs) know that this table is just for mummy's sewing stuff.
It is a dull table.
Dull, dull, dull.Not any more!
The map of Belgium was 10p from a local charity shop. I sanded the table, used PVA glue to stick the map on, then gave it two coats of clear, matt varnish. I love it :-) and it only cost me 10p as I already had all the other supplies. You can click on the pictures, should you fancy a closer look :-)

The fabric is from my stash, when the hubs and I had our first flat I used this fabric to make the curtains for our living room :-) Shows how I don't like to throw anything away, I still have the leftovers from those curtains over 14yrs later!
The ready made binding was also in my stash :-) Another cheap and satisfying finish for our home.

Clever idea! If I ever own a sewing table I steal your idea and cover my table with cross stitch charts =D
Love the table! It's definitely not dull anymore! I am working on dedullifying (new word!) my crafting area too.
Love what you did to the table. Cool and affordable (very!) idea.
Love the table re-do!
What a great table.
Sadie, you are one clever girl. I love your 'new' decor. How did you come up with this idea?
I'm glad your weather is nice enough to crochet outside. Here, I would melt into a puddle in no time!! It's still eighty eight at seven thirty! Your table looks fabulous, I love how you redid it. Congrats on the sewing finish too. You're so crafty!
That table is so cute...what a great idea! May have to steal this one...

That's neatly done. Loving it.

What a good idea! I'd love a sewing table this stylish - I'm going to try to remember to keep an eye out for interesting paper to use!
Wow, I love your new and improved table! It looks fab. Best wishes to you.
Love the improved table! It's such a creative idea.
Fantastic table, really creative!
According to one of the homes and interiors mags I was reading today, decorating with maps is very "in" at the minute! When I read that, I immediately thought of your makeover. It looks wonderful!
Wow, that table is amazing! It would be a real red letter day if I found a map of Belgium in any of the charity shops near me... but, hang, on, wait a minute, I might have one already. Now I just need a table...
p.s thanks for including me in your list of foodie blogs, much appreciated! I love visiting crafty blogs like yours because I am in awe of what you come up with!
