Recently, we pulled the sofas, tables, lamps, everything out of our front "sitting room" and started from scratch making it into an office. Since we have, what I call, the gathering room to "live in", we never used the front room as it was. Below is a before photo:

We sanded down this old table, used tung oil to finish it, no stain. I love the patina of the three old poplar planks this table was originally made from close to a couple of hundred years ago.
We brought down a couple of used chairs we'd stored in the attic and had them recovered.
I bought this chair at an antique store years ago. The fabric was worn off of it and you could see the horse hair stuffing in the seat. I loved the worn wood of this chair so much I decided not to refinish it. The upholsterer thought I was crazy. (He may be right.)
We also reupholstered this Wingback. We painted the walls SW Oyster Bay and the ceiling, SW Latte.
I found this old phone at an estate sale a few years back for $5, a steal!
The old inkwell here inspired my blog name.
Cigar Man and I went to the Nashville Flea Market today. This is what we came home with. Hope to do something special with this...but that's for another time.
