Mu Granadma had one of those too! It really didn't get moved much but it was handy in the corner of the breakfast nook.

I have one of those carts right now it is on the deck holding plants. but I like your idea better. I would if only my husband would get the 6 boxes of laminate flooring out of my sewing room (been there over a year). He put it there when I was out of state. grrrr. I also still have a typewriter an electric one and a antique one.

I have one I found at an antique store last summer! I painted it chartruese to use in the garden as a table with my pink and purple chairs. Instead, I am using it as a mini pressing table next to my sewing machine! It works great and is so cute!

I agree. Those old metal carts were much more sturdy. Haven't seen one for a while. This will be very handy for your sewing supplies.

Me! Me! I remember typewriters! I found a typewriter cart at the thrift store that I used for a sewing table until just recently. The wheels could be raised or lowered. It was pretty handy. Just didn't have much space even though there were fold out sections on each side.

We had one in the kitchen that Mother used for the microwave and her cookbooks (70s,80s,90s) and another taller one that had no wheels that was painted with aluminum paint and she kept her potplants on. The one like yours was in the house when they bought it in the 70s. The taller one she got at a secondhand shop. Both were damaged when the house burned so they were discarded.

Hmmmmmm, my Mom still has hers from the mid 50's in the basement. Bright yellow with chrome handles. I think I will have to see what it is holding...she still has the step stool chair, too.
