1960's Era Dining Room Set


I thought our 1960's "mid-century modern" dining set would fit someone's decor via Craigslist but we had no takers.  This table was the place for fancy meals as kids living in Newhall (usually we were banned to the kitchen).  When I inherited the set, it became a nightly ritual to gather together, with lit candles and what I called our dinner music, to eat together no matter home-cooked or take-out.  It was a habit we developed in New Zealand.  But, two generations of families wore out the set so the Salvation Army came to the rescue for the hutch and buffet.  The table and chairs we gave to a family with teenagers that also needed a place to gather and make memories.  We'll build a hutch in the new dining space and purchase a brand new table.
