Thrifted Thursday: 1950s atomic storage stool

As I noted in my previous post, I have been doing quite a bit of thrifting lately. I went to some of the usual places, and also one of my favorite places that I don't get to very often. It was there that I found something I've been looking for for some time- a vintage storage stool!



I love the upholstery; unfortunately it is vinyl and the top is cracked. I'll have to replace that some time. But the rest of it is in great shape. As you can see it matches my great trash-picked MCM black and white chair. I paid $10 for it, and I think that was a pretty sweet deal.

  2. What a cute find! I need to hunt down something like that. Any bit of extra storage is always good and when it's vintage -and- adorable, even better!! :)

  8. Incredible stool! I'm droolinggg! And maybe I can't tell how bad its ripped, but I'd just leave it as-is- that pattern is fantastic!
