I heart Vintage


About a week ago my mom spotted two vintage 1950's kitten dinette sets at a vintage shop in the North East. After much convincing, I got Dan to dive me up there to take a look at them. I ended up picking the oval one with a smooth steel edging and table leaf. The top is the traditional gray "Crackled Ice", but the chrome legs are straight with a ball foot instead of the typical curved leg. Right now the table is disassembled. I have sanded down the steel edging, cleaned the table vigorously with 409, and de-rusted and polished the chrome legs. Tomorrow I plan on priming and painting the steel edging. Stay tuned for the "after" pictures.
