I don't know why I'm up.

I guess my sniffles are keeping me up, and I have no idea how I came across this flickr picture, but I've always loved vintage Cosco stools! I'd love to own one someday. I've seen them at the antiques store near me, but always for more money than I can spend. Same is true with an old Singer sewing desk, but anyway...

I saw this picture and loved how it was recovered. I just thought I'd post it because I'm still holding out hope I can pick one of these up at a yard-sale or something. Or maybe someday grandma Juett will let me have hers. It has special memories for me of Thanksgivings as a kid. I always willingly lifted the stool seat and sat on the steps at the kids table to make do with the shortage of chairs that always seemed to happen. I miss those meals with Grandma and Grandpa. With everyone grown, moved away, and some dear loved ones no longer with us, sometimes it feels like that's all just in the passed. But I see it as a legacy, and someday we'll have kids and Thanksgiving meals at our house, that'll be nice.

Wow, I didn't know I'd get so lost in my head over seeing one vintage chair. But you've got to admit, a kitchen stool that doubles as a step ladder is pretty awesome. Why don't companies make things this cool anymore!?
