Agreed that MDF is not worth even looking at! I'm so happy for you and your family that you've found a fabulous house so quickly. Your dogs look very pleased. ;-) BAGyRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17616627082808583694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928379462178569983.post-91742555720770404952016-02-02T16:10:40.431-06:002016-02-02T16:10:40.431-06:00That is lovely.

As for the library, maybe make it a real one with built in shelves? If I had an extra room like that, I know I would, but I have so many books. I hate reading on-line and much prefer paper to cyber.<br />Are y'all moving / moved to Sparkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531515666554867421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928379462178569983.post-48973669903276401162016-02-01T10:30:18.786-06:002016-02-01T10:30:18.786-06:00What a Craigslist find!

I've a few pieces that are similar although not true Stickley. Some years ago, Dave and I went to High Point to look at Stickley and it was pressed wood at a famous price...NO, NO, and NO! I'd rather have OLD, real furniture than pressed wood. <br />Your finds are fabulous! Very well done and I I love your success at findingThistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928379462178569983.post-32093273654294672072016-01-31T06:57:15.975-06:002016-01-31T06:57:15.975-06:00What an awesome find and it is REAL!!!
