Usually we associate this type of furniture to hot, stuffy old lady houses or musky mid-range antique stores.

I have my GranMa's in storage and would never rid myself of them-I have visions of a riotous chintz on them all with quilts at hand. Here always timeless style-No trends,God bless.

I find myself in awe, going over the details and analyzing the ingredients, and finally coming up with the realization that the most elusive thing in the world is Style.
