At first, I thought it may have been used for a plant table for indoor plants or for starting plants, but then the 3rd photo shows how the bottom section swings up to extend the top - Wow! One would have to be careful not to bear too much weight on the extension lest he tip the table. A map table? But, a good map table allows the top to tip for better viewing large maps. A game table for a really big set of dominoes? The players would have to play while standing. A drafting table? However, a drafting table allows the working surface to tip and is equipped with a tray at the bottom of the tipped table. Also, having a seam across the center of the work space is bad for a drafting table. It would have to have a covering sheet put on the working surface before it would be useable. A table for displaying a military campaign and planning? A chart table for navigation? However, a chart table would not likely have casters on its feet since it needs stability for shipboard use. The casters would be the locking type. We need more information: For example, Where did this come from? Who owned it before and what was his occupation? Is the finish of the top surface very smooth or a bit rough?

I have great news,that's Wilson Art high pressure laminate most any building material center can order all you want and it will look exactly the same. Fyi,even if you know who built something from wood they couldn't build another exactly like the first. Wood is not a manufactured product and ever tree is different. You are much better off shopping in person for wood products and judge each after seeing it rather than trying to match air brushed pictures in magazines.

My thought was mid-century craftsman because those rails were very common then ... but more more common on ranch style brick subdivision homes than on craftsman homes that tended to have larger square wood posts, often atop pillars made of the same block or brick as the foundation -- at least that's what I remember from my own home town. The metal porch posts and railings appear to be in good shape and doing their job well; and if maintained (properly prepped and painted as needed) they'll likely last a very long time. So, no, you don't need to replace the metal railings unless you are one of those people who prefer to follow fads and choose style over function ... and IF are willing to pay for it -- replace any wood you use for style as it fails (a lot quicker than properly maintained metal rails would). I actually prefer the porch posts and rails white; however, I do notice you have a black ?metal? lamp post so if black metal is your preference, or if you prefer the same color as your siding or any other color for your porch rails and posts, then there is no reason why your porch posts and railings should not reflect your personal color taste. You have a really nice looking home, including the porch, so I hope you are able to take the time to enjoy it, especially in spring and fall.

Nice, and really unique. You will just have to keep your eyes open for something that will work with that. Take the measurements down for what will work, you may get lucky and find something. The mirrors got separated on those vanities for hanging separately or just got broken. If you can find something maybe a simple round mirror with a black frame would work hanging on the wall above it. Before you try and strip and refinish check out re-amalgamation of varnish finishes. Google term or go to YouTube. Hint, if you can use this technique do it with a light hand if you want to retain patina. Also, don't remove patina from the drawer handles, just remove and give them a good scrub with soap and water. Here is one of many videos...I've used what is called mineral spirits, it's called whatever the guy uses in England, same stuff. Just check out YouTube videos. https://youtu.be/F9SsSF1Qv_Q Maybe not even use steel wool as this guy recommends. First try a gentle approach with a white cotton cloth dipped in mineral spirits. The process basically disolves the varnish, removes some, then the varnish re-hardens/drys. It happens rather quickly too. That is if it's natural varnish that was used, which is more likely than not. Doing a test spot will quickly tell you if it is varnish rather than polyurethane, basically nothing much will happen to finish if poly.
