Thoroughly Mid Century Modern

Andy went to have his hair cut by his rockabilly barber, Mark, on Tuesday. I usually go along, but I wasn't feeling that well, so decided I would stay behind with the bunnies. When Andy returned home, he said he had a surprise for me and after handing me a bar of chocolate, said he had another for me too. I waited patiently while he went back to the car. He returned, with this!




A gift from Mark, who was getting rid of some things! He thought I might like it.



I was over the moon! Could it be any more evocative of the 1950's? The splayed legs, the pattern on the base table and the chalky pastels on the tiered tables just scream the era!



My favourite pink even features.




Obviously it was just on the bed for photographic purposes. We're going to have a shuffle around at the weekend and make room for it in the living room. It will have to sit on top of something, in pride of place mind you, as, you know ... bunnies.

  1. I'd be tempted to mount it sideways on a wall as 3-D art.

  4. If anything sums up the 1950s, it's this table. It looks in perfect condition and the colours are gorgeous. What an absolutely delightful gift. Whenever I come across one of these, they cost a fortune, too. Hope you'll find a perfect, bunnie-free place for it. xxx
