I forgot to mention it came with a replacement needle in the packaging, just set neatly inside the drawer. IN THE PACKAGING!

Those green drapes have two more panels, and came from the Knoxville DAV (I think they were $6...HOWINTHEHECKWERETHEYSIXDOLLARS? I can't find any to save my LIFE for the living room). I used to have windows long enough to suit them in the old 1910's house I lived in there, but now they're just dramatic window dressing for a 1950's normal sized casement, haha.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-89757856893269131042013-07-25T09:00:36.050-05:002013-07-25T09:00:36.050-05:00Silvertone was a Sears brand.

When I first saw the picture, I thought that it was of some completely slammin' estate sale but then I saw Miss You-Know-Who on top of the wardrobe and realized that of course, you'd have a bedroom this cool.

I love thinking about the kind of souvenir store it must have come from.<br /><br />Re: Thrones: YES, YES LET'S TALK. I am geeking OUT. I'm usually really bad about not liking fantasy or any kind of medieval type stuff, but this show has wreaked havoc on my understanding of what I like and don't like, seeing as I LOVE it and it is both.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-53509299634700374132013-07-23T17:55:12.861-05:002013-07-23T17:55:12.861-05:00it looks great! and i loooooove that unicorn!

I still have sleuthing to do on this console to see when it's from exactly, but I'll get to it! Matthew was very happy to see us-- but I unlocked the door before I went to the estate sale, then came BACK with the console!

Sort of in the same category as the TV my son just told us about over the weekend that costs $20,000. I stopped listening about its features once he said it was $20,000. so I have nothing more to tell you about it! Yet, this console reminds me of that. It is a beauty in form and function. What make is it? I bet you could use your sleuthing skills and Master's Degree to find how much it may have cost in 1950 dollars. It seems the original owners were music lovers to have had three of these species still living in the house! Poor Matthew, but I am sure he was very happy once he saw why you were delayed in getting back home to unlock the door!Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02352425223803741970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-62692711769623939312013-07-22T18:35:18.448-05:002013-07-22T18:35:18.448-05:00I have a china hutch that is exactly the same styl...I have a china hutch that is exactly the same style, veneer, hardware and doo-dads as the chifforobe in your room.
