The perfect size drop-leaf table decorated with Swedish birds.





This vintage dresser...that can truly be called an antique....is my favorite! It predates 1900 and is complete with it's original hardware. It is gorgeous!!!





An art deco desk/vanity that would be perfect for any girl's room......you'll have to wait to see the matching chair!





This bedside table has been completely refinished and accessorized!





I've seen a similar dresser design and couldn't wait to find the right piece to make the design my own!

Why I LOVE where we live..........

I love that my family and I can take a drive a see nature like this



and that people trust you so much that they will leave a gorgeous item like this



outside for you to pick up and trust that you'll mail the payment to them at a later date! That's exactly what we did yesterday. I found this lovely piece on Craig's List and we took a road trip to a small community to pick it up and bring it home! I had been searching for the perfect piece for a client and I hope this is just what she was envisioning.  It needs a little TLC, as does most furniture of this age, but it is in great shape overall.  



As a history buff, I love when a piece of furniture alludes to it's past.  I love the little glimpses of it's previous owner.



Who was R.I. Olson? Was this a piece of furniture that was being shipped across country, or the ocean to his or her new home in Drayton, North Dakota?  I suppose we'll probably never know.  What this shows to me, however, it that this piece was valued by it's owner. He or She valued it so much that they put their moniker on it to keep it from being misplaced or claimed by another. 

Did I mention that I love history??
