Something Old

Isn't it a beauty? She belonged to my grandparents and has a Furniture by John since 1891 stamp on the inside. I did a little research though and I think this one is from the 1930's. When my father passed away in December this became mine and I love it!! It has lots of stains and marks on it but for now I think I am going to leave it as is. We brought it home and cleaned off the layers of dust, added some orange oil and I think it looks pretty good. I was amazed at how well it matches the dining room table and I love all the detail on this piece.






Gorgeous but definitely needs a bit of decorating. So.... I shopped my house and came up with this



I robbed the lamps from our bedroom, the pear from the kitchen, and everything else I took out of the powder room. Since I pretty much stripped it, I then had to shop the house to redecorate the powder room. I absolutely love how it turned out.
I am linking this post up to a few parties:
