But i wanted to share! I just bought it from a used furniture store. Its a 1950's red and white dinette table! It is in wonderful shape just needs some cleaning!

That is so cool! And it looks like a neat quilt block pattern on the table top.

How did you get my Aunt's table and chairs away from her?

Beautiful table and chairs ,enjoy :-D Tip:Once you clean it , put rubber tips on chair and table legs before you ever use it in your house. Ask me how I know this! Little half circle cuts in the vinyl flooring we had at that time. :cry:

If you lived in Oregon, I'd say I know where you got it!!! I saw one JUST like it in an antique store...with all the STUFF on top just like that!!!!! I didn't look at the price....and I find it amazing you all think these are great...LOL -- I grew up with a table like that and detest them!!! LOL

I grew up eating on a table like that, though it was grey. My parents still have the table in the rafters in the garage. The chairs all died long ago.

Is your kitchen theme red? My aunt's is. I never knew there were so many red things for a home until I saw her collection. Enjoy your find.

Is your kitchen red? My DS has a blue set like this. My set that is 8 years old is falling apart. Maybe I need to find one like this :roll:

Enjoy your new set.

My grandfather had black chairs just like that!!! He still has them too! AWESOME find!

nativetexan 06-11-2010 05:43 PM

oh goodness, reminds me when i was little. we had a table with benches that folded down on each side.
also remember having a washing machine with a ringer to "wring" out the wet clothes. my Mother was working then and had hired a "maid" to do our laundry. she got her hand caught in that thing!!! We were so poor, i can't believe she was able to hire someone to help out, but she did.

granniebj 06-11-2010 05:51 PM
