Cabinet maker made corbels for under the mantle. Have added antique sewing machines, vintage ironing boards, lots and lots of quilts to the decor.

    Our decor on the inside is "Early Dump" mostly because it was us or the dump I've painted, reupholstered, DH is wonderful at making things so it all is comfortable and works ok for us..
    Love to be able to go to the store and redo but probably it will never happen so..I just paint flowers on black or put new fabric on, or even just cover it with a sheet until I get it to look better style? I guess it's mine?! some old, some not quite so old, some should probably go to the dump
    There is nothing wrong with this! It's nice to buy new, but it's better to stay in your budget!

    Early American One Kid Left-to-Go
    We bought a house built in 1918 (five years to the 'antique' stage!) and have remodeled/added on over the years, since 1980
    This is what it looks like now, nothing like it did when we bought it
