Hooray for the Buffet!

Mom and Dad decided to make use of the sunny day yesterday and bring Mike and me the lovely buffet we mentioned on here before. My uncle Terry was generous enough to give it to us and we couldn't be happier. We were a bit nervous that it wouldn't fit the room, but after putting it in place and using a little Pledge on it we all agreed it looked like it was made for the room. Here are the proud new owners (pic quality not that great, sorry).

Isn't it perfect? Mike and I both get so happy when every time we see it. I want to do some research to try to find out how old it is and where it came from. The scrollwork is definitely hand carved (it seems to be anyway, it isn't exactly symetrical). The feet had rollers on them, but we removed them so the big chunks could be flush to the floor. Not sure if the rollers were original, but they had to go. I'm still looking forward to decking it out with some pieces from our Lenox Christmas china.

    Love the way it fits. Look like it was made for the room.

    Now come to our house and help finish decorating it.

    GC: OK! I'll be there tonight!

    I look at the pictures of your house as you make changes and hear the CSN&Y song "OUR HOUSE" in my head...strange.
