Dear Readers,
I finally turned the Singer 201K which I bought off Ebay and had a English Voltage belted motor into a treadle. And, it actually works once I replaced the belt on the treadle and took out the old head. I've tried to fix the veneer all year, but without good results.
I know many of my readers suggesting staining the piece, and that was my preference as well. But I used so much wood filler to fill in serious cracks and missing and damaged veneer, my thought now is that I am planning on painting it. That said, I wouldn't mind a few opinions with the paint colors. I'm leaning toward the blue due to the contrast although it is very muted and doesn't come through perfectly in the pictures. I was thinking perhaps a darker vintage-er green (such as a dark artichoke) might work as well. Any thoughts?
XOXO, P.
