    that's amazing! It is a pity you can't find those things anymore. I 've seen something similar in a grandin road few weeks ago, but of course the materials are not the same, you can clearly see it.

    My folks had the chair and coach in a refried beans color, I believe we had it until 1971 or so.

    found an abused and forlorn pair of end tables at a thrift store for $4.99 each
    couple hours of love and they get a new lease on life

    thanks,
    the couple hours may be a slight under statement.
    refurbish involved complete dismantle,
    strip and sand, oxalic acid to remove water stains, wood filler on minor flaws, more sanding, stain, wipe on poly and reassembly.
    they still show some wear and signs of use but I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out.
