Nice pick up, Jamo!

 

Thank you! Yeah, it’s crazy, I just run into the stuff without even trying.

 

nice find Jamo

 

Thank you!

 

that's right out of my aunts house in the early 60's..

 

Hi,
Had to laugh. One apartment had the same table only in bright pink. Matching chairs in hot pink, the walls and ceiling, hot pink. You guessed it the stove, sink , cabinets and floor and curtains HOT PINK. It was like climbing inside a Peto_Bysmal
bottle. We only stayed there 3 months it was toooooooo much.

Yeah, that is just straight up too much. Surprised you lasted that long!

 

Pee Wee's playhouse would have been preferable...!!

 

Reminds me of old looped upholstery designs Very nice find. In a family of 6, a leaf would have been nice, but it wouldn't have fit in our kitchen. lol

Have you met Kitten Kay Sera? Pink Lady of Hollywood?

Here she is, preparing (what else?) pink waffles.

 

I love those old tables. I like Greg's kitchen table also.

 

I want a red set complete with chairs, LOVE them. I had a blue set when I was first married in 1965, eons ago. Now it's just me and grandaughter ... .. Joy.

 

Ours was bright yellow,and the chairs had sparkly bits.

 

YES Johnny !! Sparkly Bits .. I eventually gave it up for a boring brown wood one, now I LONG for a cheery red set ... I LOVE Colour !!! ... Joy.

 

Ours was gray - I punctured a hole in my chair getting something out of the cupboard wearing a pair of these:



I remember hearing that pop and thinking, uh oh.

 

Formica always reminds me of the Italian icecream parlors of my childhood. The best one in our town was called La Venezia, they had photos of gondoliers on the walls.

 

I grew up in a house built in 1956 with a glass top kitchen table. But the kitchen counters were turquoise Formica with a boomerang design. MCM is so in they reintroduced the pattern

 

How exotic for an ice cream parlor!

 

In my house, I would have gotten a dirty look for sure.
They didn't need to say anything, their faces said it all.
