[QUOTE="donna723, post: 425954, member: 1883"] If I had my way, my whole house would be full of antiques, and since this little house is 160 years old, it fits. It has the old fashioned woodwork and the tall, skinny windows. It's very comforting to me to be here because it reminds me so much of the very old house that my grandparents used to live in when I was a kid. I just love old things! I have two big bookcases full of antique glassware in my living room and a shelf full of old kitchen things that go all the way across the room. I have a huge old ornate bed that's taller than I am, all carved wood, with oval oil paintings in the middle of the headboard and footboard! If you go in that bedroom, you think you've gone back in time a hundred years! ... and I've gotta share this too because it's so cool! Tomorrow, for the third year in a row, the Yankees will be invading our little town, fighting it out with the home guards, then (symbolically) burning our courthouse - all a half block from my house! The Armies of Tennessee re-enactors take over the town and do this every year, recreating an event that happened in 1863. Some of the Yankee troops are already camped out not far from my house! Some of the "soldiers" park in the city lot by my house and it's so weird to see these guys in authentic Civil War uniforms getting out of their SUV's, talking on their cell phones! [/QUOTE]
