The only think I've managed to buy on OKL is some candles.... (they smell wonderful)<br /><br />You did great on picking a nice piece of furniture. For one, new furniture has drawers that work... PLUS a piece of painted furniture adds some interest and softness to a room. I especially like the antiquing and the gilding on the piece. It softens it and gives it some depth. <br /><br />You also used a rule it took me FOREVER to figure out--don't buy a piece of furniture unless it has a functional use.<br /><br />Congratulations!Antique Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974526771980273324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702816552340511485.post-11867044364424006532010-12-04T16:56:23.809-06:002010-12-04T16:56:23.809-06:00I think you did a great job.
