Good Idea Revisited: The Snacking Table

110509-snack-station-2.jpgThis just goes to illustrate that great thinkers think alike: When Ohdeedoh reader Mandi saw our recent post about using vintage Cosco toddler seats to create a cute snacking area, she emailed us photos of her own little snacking station... which also uses two Cosco kiddie seats!

 
 

110509-snack-station-1.jpgLike atomictonic, who created the setup in the first post, Mandi (who runs the kids' design site Babyology) loves Cosco's vintage toddler seat... so much so that she had them shipped all the way to her in Australia! And while atomictonic paired her chairs with a simple low midcentury table, Mandi pulled her up to an Ikea Benjamin stool.

If you love these little chairs, too, look for them on eBay, Craigslist and in vintage and thrift stores. Prices usually seem to start at around $5-10.

eBay auctions are starting at $5-10, but lately they're ending at $60-90, alas.

I love this idea! I already have one seat, so I'll have to be on the lookout for another. I also LOVE the placemat...would you mind sharing where you got it?!
