Karen, what a great day! Love that curio, I am so envious. Iwould have to get rid of something else to have room for that, Maybe the stove .... LOL That is a neat tea pot too.So far I only have a couple of tea pots. I"ve got more "collections" now than I have room for, santas, cookbooks,dishes and dishes and more dishes. Today I found a neat small (5 egg) deviled egg dish, just right for us when no one else is here, Dh and DS love deviled eggs. Also I found a lovely large hand painted pasta bowl that sorta od matched some other serving pieces that I already had. My fibro has been making my sholders hurt today, but it is raining too so that may be part of it. I found the nectarines that I wanted to can and freeze so I know what I will be doing Monday.Probably not another chance for "therapy" until after next weekend and the wedding. Say a little prayer for me that I"ll get through next week. Hugs to you, Janet

I like the way they both look, but I choose two skylights. You already have large windows around your room. With two, you would be letting in light while pleasing the eye. That way it doesn’t look like you just added another large window on your ceiling. The two skylights would also look better from the exterior of your home. One skylight would look out of place and compete with the attention of the windows on the side of your house. Two skylights would be less noticeable on the exterior, while still letting in just as much light as one.

If you're not in a screaming hurry, maybe follow a few good local auctions to see what $ similar tables are getting? Talk to local antique dealers, but imho and imhe, they're all hurtin' as brown furniture isn't fashionable and they'll pay you peanuts because they seem to be stuck with stuff they paid big bucks for 30 years ago and won't let it go for a song ... I'm not entirely sympathetic to their predicament!! How about seeing if you can list them on 1stDibs? It's super high-end, beautifully curated, outrageously high prices if you believe the claims! Isn't there a listing for reputable antique dealers in the US? There is here in Canada. Google is your friend, no doubt. I'd be interested in the Baltimore one myself, but I'm guessing you're nowhere near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada? Or Frederick, MD?

You can’t without remaking that whole section of fence. That means adding two gateposts, which can take the constant forces inflicted on a gate. Those spindly little line posts won’t cut it. Then the panel section will be too large, and built incorrectly to accept proper hardware that can also withstand motion. If you want a gate there, you’re going to have to build a proper gate.
