I am working on merchandising this, as Christopher Lowell would say, and am shopping around the house for appropriate items that will coordinate. I had been looking for something like this piece that would fit into that corner. Hubby is working on rewiring an antique lamp that will replace this little one. Tune in......
I love that bookcase!! I have been looking for something like that!! CraigsList here has been overrun with people that are overpricing everything. They think if it is for the 80's then it is an antique. Augh!! How lucky of you to have a Hubby that can rewire lamps!! I would love to learn how to do that!! :)
Hi, my name is Shirl and thanks for visiting my blog
This is my journey to create a lovely home; to obtain and edit antiques and vintage items. The fun is in the journey and I see this as a life-long, never-ending labor of love.
