We've been in between kitchen tables for a year now. We outgrew our fun red one but never found a good replacement, so we've been using our falling-apart chrome chairs with a bashed up wood table that we meant to refinish (but winter came). No fun. I've been worrying that the chrome chairs will scratch up our new floor (we haven't been able to find pads that will work with them), but we don't have the time or money to look for/buy (or build! kira? are you reading this?) new table/chairs right now.
We have an awesome vintage furniture store in town that Scott loves because the rooms are connected by ramps. We often visited on school mornings when we were looking for an outing.
A few months ago I saw a set of five 1959 chairs that I loved at first sight & sit. They were adorable and in great shape--super solid and ridiculously comfortable for a kitchen chair. I came very close to buying them, but 1) they were $250 for the set, and 2) We are really looking for 6 chairs, and 3) I wasn't sure they would suit our new space or unknown new table. BUT yesterday I was driving by and four of the chairs were outside selling for $100! Hooray! The chairs are mine!! They even make our ugly table look nice enough to keep on until we're in a better position to figure things out.
