The "bed warmer" may well be a chesnut roaster...used over an open fire to roast chesnuts and considerably "newer" ( relativly speaking!) than a bed warmer. The foot warmer I have seen at a lot of farm sales, used in school houses,n farm wagons etc...Carriages were long gone from thes cent when these came about. The bellows are hard to tell about. I have a pair of bellows very similar but the leather is intact. I think mine are about 70 years old. Glad you saved some of the family stuff....but those items are not "mayflower era" more likely 1890 at the earliest, very likely 30 years later. But they should NOT have been in a garage sale....and are well worth the $100 your mom paid your sister. Enjoy them and make sure you kids know what they are! Linda C

Did you ever find one?

Same color all three walls! This is my natural light at noon. And the one tan looking wall is definitely more pink in person. This is Classic Gray, which looked great on a sample board but did this once applied. Swiss coffee goes too yellow. Chantilly lace goes pink. As does snowbound. As you can see, the room is not super sunbathed even though there are lots of windows, so I really don't want to paint it darker. I'm a Florida girl originally, now in NC, so I need that light effect.

I'd call this, even with a luxury 200.00 ( many are under a hundred bucks ) model........the gift that kept on giving.......not. But then, I have never felt the need for a towel warmer so, there's that as well. What I HAVE found is that 90 % of gadgets that seem so cool, or useful or whatever? Are usually the things that end up languishing in a basement.........eventually. Often that's a month or two after you open the Amazon box
