Chippy Vintage Kitchen Table


Last week I showed you a wonderful old kitchen sink I found.
This week I found a chippy painted vintage kitchen table.
It was pretty desirable except one of the leaves was broken off and one of the casters needed replaced.


It didn't really need tons of work.



The patina on it is wonderful.


At one time someone had hammered nails in the top. Now the nail heads are a bit rusty.
Who knew at the time that one day that look would be disirable worth having pleasing?









 

Once we got it on the operating table Mr. ShabbyMr. Crabby removed the injured leaf and glued it back to "good as new."
Sometimes my hubby is as good as gold about fixing things, other times he is a bear.


This is a close-up of the wonderful chippy paint. I dabbed on a coat of poly, then brushed on one more coat "just for good measure".
I didn't want to lose one chip of chippy paint.


After the glue dried overnight we added two large cleats on the seam for added strength.


You can see the dovetail joint for the leg brace.







This was originally sold by Gould & Son, Peru.
To support the leaf when it's open, there's a little board that swivels.
It tucks away nicely when not in use.
Let's see now. Last week I found a kitchen sink, this week I found a kitchen table...

  7. Hi Connie,
    I love your chippy "new" table. I did the same thing with a big square table my sweetie got me at auction for 50 cents! Love that table.

  9. You did a great job with this table. It is fantastic. I wish I lived closer to Florida so I could check out your shop. I'm so glad you liked my pint sized sink makeover with the little gingham skirt. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

  10. It is interesting, isn't it, how these old chippy pieces are "in" now. My Mom would have called it "junk" and never had it in her house! It looks good and great repair job. I'm your newest follower!
