Tiny Chairs and Tables- Vintage Furniture for Kiddos

I am smitten with vintage furniture for children. It charms me so, I think that even when my children are grown, I will still surround myself with little chairs and tables to set my drinks and potted plants upon.

I have always found some irony in the child's chair, though. Neither of my children ever really sit for any length of time! In fact, here is a photo of my Little Man posing so nicely for me, sitting on a little vintage step stool that he uses around the house for various things.

I wanted him to sit in the vintage bear rocker behind him, a favorite antique store find of mine that I'm sure I will never part with. I think he sat there for a second or two but had moved to the stool by the time I got my camera ready. He's got his mischevious twinkle in his eyes here. You will see why in the next image!

I have a little play kitchen set up in my living room, as most mommies of toddlers do. Next to the stove/cupboard area is a table and chair set that we use for setting up pretend meals and for various other activities. The chairs are great little chrome mid century pieces. They were recovered at one point in pretty current red and blue damask fabric. I'd love to recover them in vintage 60s fabric when I get a chance. The table is just a plastic thing from Ikea. It's nice and sturdy and covered here with a vintage tablecloth.

The next table is a recent find from my favorite thrift store. I think I paid about $2.50 for it. I love the print on the top. There are a few 80s food stickers that some kiddo stuck to the top of it. I think they are great so I left them on there. I've been using this little table in my kichen next to a shelf with various activities on it.

The rocker was mine when I was a little girl. My grandparents bought it in Hong Kong about 30 years ago. My aunt just shipped it across the country to me. She used it for her daughter who has now outgrown it. It was so sweet of her to send it all this way for my Little Man to use. He likes it more than the Bear Chair rocker, probably because he can get it to rock much faster. He is a wild child.

Though I've amassed quite a collection of children's furniture, I still often find myself poking around online to look at more. After all, even if you have a small space, you can fit many more tiny chairs and tables in your home than grown up size furniture! Here are a few favorites.
