This week’s vintage tablescapes come from New Creative Home Decorating, published in 1954. Â Each of these tablescapes feature furniture from the Heywood Wakefield company, one of the most famous makers of 1950s ‘blonde’ furniture. Â The first image features Heywood Wakefield’s ‘dogbone’ dining chairs, buffet, and other furniture, along with some tropical flowers for the table.
The second photo shows Heywood Wakefield’s ‘wish-bone’ dining table and buffet. Â I think it’s interesting that part of the table is unextended and that the centerpiece is shown off-center.
I saved my favorite of the three for last. Â Mostly because I have the darker-wood version of the buffet in my own dining room! Â And because of the lovely fiestaware. Â Not too sure about the brick wallpaper though!
Oh I love vintage, especially this time period too. I have a Baldwin Acrosonic piano in my studio that is this same wood from the same period, which I love. Thanks for sharing these fab photos!!
Vintage & retro are just too pretty.
Good old days!
I like the last picture also….fiestaware…how fun! Bring on the margarita!
@Anita: Your piano sounds lovely! One day, I’d love a vintage piano!
@Chie: Thanks! I’m having such a fun time finding these vintage tablescapes.
@Mom: I know, right? Perfect for margaritas.
Hi. That looks quite modern, even it’s from the fiftees. I love such old photos.
