Dining on a Typewriter Stand

I saw this vintage typewriter stand at a yard sale last week end and I thought it would make a great table for H and I to eat on,   It's small....very portable..stores easy, and it was in really good shape.  (it was also cheap...$5)

H painted the bottom of it white, but we decided to leave the top original.

These chairs are  not heavy, easy to store and set up for a quick lunch in the yard.   I bought these chairs at a yard sale in Amarillo Texas about 2 years ago...$15 for the two.  They came out of the auditorium at Amarillo High School  



I put a beautiful vintage table cloth on my "typewriter dinner table".... 
added some vintage plates....we only need a fork for lunch today.
added a simple centerpiece....


and we are ready to eat!   H and I usually have a small simple lunch...today we are having green salad topped with a yummy tuna salad.   For dessert we will have Jello with whipped topping...and of course sweet tea!   ( I just wanted to show you the coffee cups that match the plates...lol.  we won't use those!  I will bring out big glasses of iced tea when we sit down to eat)    

Well, I had better go find H....it's time to eat!


Til next time....

    Great looking food.

  14. Penny,
    What a great table!! I could use something small like that for the patio in the back... that is if the rain ever stops. Thank goodness we did not have the storms that most of the east coast had but about 3 inches of rain!!

    Hugs,
    Debbie

  17. Hi Penny!!!

    What a great idea and to get it for that price is amazing!!!

    I love the way you decorated the table with beautiful china and silverware on a beautiful tablecloth. It's great that the table and chairs are easily stored and removed when you want them. The stamp on the back of the chairs is very vintage.

    What a great find for a beautiful summer luncheon!!!!

    Have a great weekend!!!
