** New ** Table and Chairs ! from the Antique Store



The print above the hoozier was a gift from a friend. I made a vingette from the vintage finds that I already had to complement the print.



This is my vintage kitchen and my **new** table and three chairs that I found a couple weeks ago in an antique store. The table has a porcelain top with leaves and has a drawer in one side. Even though I love the primitive look, I have a soft spot for a vintage kitchen and breakfast room. I made the cushions for the chairs from a piece of Longaberger ( basket ) fabric.

I made the long tiers on the windows from a store bought vintage style tablecloth and made the tiebacks with rick rack trim. The store bought valances match the tablecloth curtains.



The hoozier was a find 11 years ago for $200.



The white china cupboard was another steal at only $40.



The only thing missing from the photo is a homemade pie sitting on the hoozier !

Hugs,
Linda

  8. Linda, you have the most charming vintage style kitchen! The cushions you made look lovely too! I have a thing for Hoosiers, and I love yours, w/ the green trim on the enamel. I once had one with enamel trimmed in red.
    Thanks for sharing w/ us!

  9. Thank you , Peanut, Audrey, Pea and Patty, for the sweet compliments !

    You are all welcome to come on over for coffee !

    My hoozier was originally painted green to match the enamel, but it had been painted over to white. That is fine with me, as it matches the rest of my ( antique store finds ) furniture. I love the older furniture as it isn't made from pressed sawdust aka engineered wood as they say now, I believe.

    Thanks for visiting !

    Hugs,
    Linda
