[quote=Anonymous]I have tons of antiques and love them.  I agree with a PP that the dressers can be a problem — would love someone that could make them slide better.

I’ve got:
Matching upholstered chairs from 1880 (I had reupholstered a few years ago in a bright pattern)
Small loveseat from 1870/ upholstered in bright fabric in our front hall for putting on shoes and such 
Rocking chair from around the 1880s or so — that I don’t use too much but it’s really pretty (gorgeous wood with a curved line to it) 
End table from maybe the 1860s that I use as a bedside table
End table from 1880s in carved mahogany with a marble top that is kist decorative but so pretty.

And some I guess is still just vintage:
Big mirrored vanity from 1930/ in my bedroom 
1930/ big oak table we use as our kitchen table
1940s or 1950/ cherry mid century look table in dining room 
Our coffee table is also mid century cherry

Most of it is just so much more solid than anything you’d buy today.  And I feel good about not creating more burden on the environment.

I don’t have a China cabinet but am actually thinking about getting one or something similar because I have so much stuff falling out of my kitchen cabinets —- I think if I offloaded the stuff I use only seasonally I could get so much more organized.  [/quote]
