Last year I was on a mission to find a 50's kitchen table in good condition. Well Mr. BJ did, and it has been the background for quite a few pics on this blog (goodies for "Mabu" in Subiaco above)
I was admiring some of Painter Girl's flickr uploads from 50's Home Beautiful magazines and recognized the Laminex on my table, "Basketweave".... with the South Pacific charm!
You probably know I love recycling cool vintage laminex as much as lino.It was fortunate I generously agreed to drive my daughter to the tram stop on Friday because on the way I found an old kitchen table on the nature strip with this laminex on the top.
It's the beige cousin of this turquoise Australiana laminex I scavenged from a house reno down the road almost two years ago. Can't wait to use it!
What were they thinking? Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI obviously live in the wrong part of Thornbury... you always find such treasures and I just find old chip packets.
ReplyDeleteOne mans trash is this girls treasure..and I must confess, I have trained my kids to tell me if they see stuff on the nature strip as we're driving past!
ReplyDeleteMan - you have got the NOSE! I lOVE that laminex.. but it is karma.. the universe knows the good that you do..!
