[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 425902, member: 6705"] I like antiques... Sort of. I like the ones that have history. Like my bedroom suite - My Grandpa bought it for my Grandma the year my Mom was born. It's cypress. Try finding that now! The vanity did not have a mirror so grandpa made a frame for one, to match the vanity, only it was cedar. Mom refinished the bed (it was in the guest room for years that I remember), and it's a medium blonde now, the night table, dresser and vanity are very dark from 3 generations smoking in the house. Someday we will refinish those too. My china cabinet was my Grandma's. I remember they used to keep playing cards in the middle drawer, cigarettes in the left - Viceroy and Pall Mall. and the big, shallow drawer was where Grandma kept all her cards and stationery - and now, so do I! Someday I will have Mom's cedar chest and Grandma's too. But the upright piano, saloon circa 1925? Out of tune since at least 1965? Can be sold. The curio cabinets - wow, I have no place to put them... [/QUOTE]
