That's a really cool pattern, Pink! It would go really nifty with EPR25's counter top and linoleum as well. Great jobs, both of you!

Here's my pride and joy, a 1920's vintage British oak sideboard. I won't say how much, but basically it was a steal. The shipping was murder, but even after that, I think I got a terrific bargain.
Mama thinks she goes nicely with the oak finish. I agree.

I looked on all sides and the drawers and saw no label. I saw other similar ones with metal brand name tags onthe back, but this one doesn't have one.Miss Neecerie said:Is it a Beautility? Looks like one....
dhermann1 said:Wait a minute, you're talking about Pink Dahlia's sofa!
Miss D, is it a Beautility?
(Tangled thread!)
SweetieStarr said:Very cool! How did you rig that? Feel free to PM me if no one else on the thread might be interested.

dhermann1 said:Pink Dahlia: Didn't you have pics of your new place posted? Were they part of the recent wipe out? I'd love to see more current pics.
dhermann1 said:OK, this is SPOOKY. I just decided it was time to clean out my lovely sideboard, so I got a paper towel, Fantastic, etc. Before I started I stood in front of it and said "Speak to me, oh ancient object. Tell me of your life." (Or words to that effect.) Then I got down on my hands and knees and started sweeping the inside of the shelves out. In about 10 seconds I had collected a nice little bunch of cobwebs and miscellaneous schmutz. Then I found it, a little Spam can key, nestled in the back corner of the bottom shelf. The sideboard had heard me and responded! What could be more indicative of the life of a dining room sideboard that had spent the last 80 plus years in Great Britain than this little relic of a can of Spam!? Spooky, no?
Here it is:
This goes next to the theater tickets from 1940 that I found in my new old Homburg a few months ago.
The past is alllll around us, if we just see what's right in front of our eyes.

We have matching cats, BTW.
