Lately I've been hooked on vintage Cosco 3 tiered carts and stools. I'm not sure why, other than they make me feel nostalgic and I love the vintage look. My grandmother had one of these in her kitchen for years, I think most Grandmothers did. I found one at the thrift store down the street for $2.00 a few months back and had been kicking myself for not buying it. I don't have a lot of counter space and I wanted something to put at the end of my counter to hold my Kitchenaid mixer. Well, I went back to the thrift store a few days ago and they had another one there. This one was $7.00...inflation? I knew I couldn't pass it up. For some reason I didn't take before pictures so you'll just have to trust me on this. It was an ivory color and pretty dirty. Very little rust though. I brought her home and cleaned her up (with my Oxygen Orange Cleaner, of course) and sanded down the rusty parts. I primed, painted and added a coat of polyurethane. I just love her and she fits so perfectly in that little space. Don't you agree??

(Don't look at the linoleum, it's a rental home, not much I can do for now.)
Here's what I need next:

I must find that stool! My next mission.
And that's all I have to say.
